Burger Time!


I've searched for the true meaning of what a burger is and here's what I found - a hot sandwich.
Not all burgers I've tried are hot so I looked for more...

Wikipedia
A hamburger (also known as simply a burger) is a sandwich consisting of a cooked patty of ground meat (usually beef, but occasionally pork or a combination of meats) usually placed inside a sliced bread roll.

I thank the genius who came up with the idea of replacing the bread roll with hash browns -truly innovative.  So what's my take on this twist?
Three on a scale of 5
What went wrong?
  1. Presentation please!  It's packaged in a thin box so I immediately thought of ordering something else the moment it was served.  Good thing I didn't -keep in mind they're made of potatoes so they're heavier on your tummy than a normal burger would.
  2. I'm not sure but something is definitely amiss.   I enjoy my burgers with fries on the side.  I take time nibbling on the fries while busying myself with whoever I'm with.  Now if my burgers are served with potatoes in place of the buns, maybe I should have tossed salad on the side? 
  3. I miss the burger buns.  I grew up picking on the sesame seeds, buns these days no longer have them, but at least I had the bread. Replacing it with a greasy slab of potato is a welcome change but not something I'm hoping to come back for. Oh! And I know that they're baked to help me think it's a little healthier and I love the crusty burnt sides but you'll still see oil all.
  4. A thicker patty might work.  For me, the star of the burger should be the patty, not the stuff it's sandwiched with.  In this case, the hash browns are tastier than the beef patty.  Maybe they should call it a "Double Hash Browned Patty".

I tried it and you should too!
