I am a turkey burger
fanatic. It's time I come clean and admit it to myself and to the
world. Read through the eight hundred some odd reviews on the survey
and you will see the poultry patty come up again and again. It's like
a compulsion I have to try the thing if it's on the menu. I will bypass
pancakes and steaks and pizzas to get to that sweet sweet gobbley
grub. The urge is made worse by the fact that most places butcher
the crap out of turkey burgers. They're often dry or bland or even
over-spiced with awful things like green pepper. So it was with both
hope and trepidation that I ordered one up. The fact that this place
also makes treats for kiddie birthday parties didn't even enter my
mind. Would I expect the salmon en croute at Fish & Sundaes to be
good? Probably not. What I didn't expect at Burgers & Cupcakes was
the astronomical amount of time I had to wait to get my order. The
day I was there they claimed to be down one cook, but I sensed a big
fib from the wacky counter woman, who looked like some bizarro extra
from Laverne & Shirley. My suspicions were confirmed the next time
I went and waited about twenty minutes for my meal. When I did finally
get my stuff, I was shocked at how small the little bugger was considering
the price I paid for it--about nine bucks for a cheeseburger, but
no fries, which are another three clams. My annoyance subsided somewhat
after I bit into the thing. It was actually quite good. That was a
good and bad thing. It was good because at least I didn't waste all
that time and money on another sub-par burger, but bad because I did
like it and didn't know if I could go through the whole rigmarole
again. I've already answered the question, as I did go back, but these
days I'm trying to fight against temptation, so perhaps my stubbornness
will win out, and I'll tell these disorganized rip-off artists to
go punt once and for all. But probably not. [MF]
