I went to Humperdinks with Jason and Julie this evening. I ordered a Border Burger, while Jason ordered a Cajun Burger (rather spicy, but in a good way, so he says) and Julie had chicken-fried steak (no surprise there). The Border Burger consisted of:
Border Burger
All-beef [1/2 pound] patty, covered in guacamole, with bacon, Pepperjack cheese, spicy jalapeños and fresh salsa on our bun with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. 8.99
Before ordering, I was slightly concerned that the “spicy jalapeños” might end up being too spicy, but our server assured me that the burger had only a medium-heat to it. As it turns out, that was a good assessment — it had some spiceness, but not too much or too little.
I’ve been disappointed by some burgers elsewhere, but this one was very good. The meat was hot and almost crumbly (but not at all spongey). The guacamole and salsa were piled high along with the bacon atop the patty. Sometimes patties with many condiments have the pitfall of becoming too slippery for their buns, but this one faithfully remained within the confines of its bun.
In the end, the burger was good and I wouldn’t hesitate in ordering one again sometime. However, $9-hamburgers are probably not sensible sustenance for unemployed web developers :(.
Hey. I am *full* of surprises.
