En ödesmättad gurka

Grillen Burgerbar är en dansk burgarkedja som i skrivande stund finns i fem städer i Danmark. I Köpenhamn har de i skrivande stund fyra burgarhak och en foodtruck, vilket gör dem till ett av landets största premiumkedjor.

Vi besökte en av restaurangerna i centrala Köpenhamn, där vi beställde deras Cheese & Bacon med pommes frites för 89 danska kronor. Vi fick vår måltid efter bara några minuter, men burgarens utseende var minst sagt chockerande då den innehöll de tjockaste picklade gurkorna vi någonsin har sett på en burgare.

För att börja med det positiva så var köttet faktiskt bra, med tillfredsställande kryddning och en rejäl saftighet. Brödet var helt okej men lite stelt, och borde ha varit mer följsamt för att gifta sig mer med köttet och de övriga ingredienserna. Baconet var tyvärr lite för sladdrigt, och osten hade gärna fått smälta lite till.

Men det värsta av allt var såklart de centimetertjocka picklade gurkorna, som dessutom var kylskåpskalla. Vi vet inte varför de har valt att ha en sån besynnerlig ingrediens, och framförallt inte varför de var så kalla. Men de förstörde helt klart en stor del av upplevelsen. En burgare kommer långt på bra kött och okej bröd, men Grillen Burgerbars brister med de övriga ingredienserna sänker tyvärr betyget och gör att vi har svårt att rekommendera dem – åtminstone i Köpenhamn.

In English

Grillen Burgerbar is one of the largest premium burger chains in Denmark, with burger joints in five Danish cities. We visited one of their 4 Copenhagen restaurants, where we ordered the Cheese & Bacon with fries for 89 DKK.

When the burger was served we were in shock, to put it mildly. The centimetre thick pickles, were without the biggest we’d seen on a burger, and they were cold to boot. Thankfully, the patty was actually good with satisfying seasoning and juiciness. The bun was okay, but a bit stale which prevented it from cooperating with all the other ingredients. We would have prefered the bacon to be a bit more crispy and the cheese a bit meltier as well.

Of course, the biggest letdown was the cold and thick pickles, which ruined the meal. The tasty patty and an alright bun helped a lot, but since the other ingredients weren’t up to par we’re hesitant to recommend them – at least not in Copenhagen.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
