    I’ve Created A Muenster Burger

    Perfect patties topped with sauteed mushrooms and smothered in muenster cheese.

     

    Zoe’s Take:

    7/10

    I was really excited about this burger and I was sadly disappointed by it. What this burger lacked was crunch. I think butter lettuce and green leaf lettuce are both good choices, but they’re not crunchy enough to be the only crunch in this burger. The muenster cheese sandwiching the sauteed mushrooms is amazing. I hate when my burger toppings just fall off, but the cheese acts as an anchor, holding the mushrooms in place. In fact, not a single one fell off my burger. I wish there was some acidity to the burger though, a tomato slice would have been nice, or some crunchy red onions. I also definitely recommend adding salt to your mushrooms.

    7.5/10

    Mmmm…Cheeeeeesssseee…. This burger was really good. I agree though that this burger lacked a lot of texture. It was very one note and soft. The butter with the mushrooms added a wonderful flavor and the cheese was great. Some additional flavor would have rounded out the burger. Seasoning the mushrooms is a must. I also would recommend some sweet/Spanish onion with the mushrooms. This burger lost its points on flavor. I found the ingredients the easiest to source and prep so far, this is definitely a really good recipe for a quick dinner.

    The Sweet Home Avocado Burger is an all-beef patty coated in a sweet lime sauce, topped with fresh avocado slices, sweet onions, tomatoes, peppers and stevia leaves (if you can find them).

    Think… fresh crunchy veggies meets tangy sweet limeade.

    Zoe’s Take:
    7.5/10

    The sweet and sour of the lime and honey marinade was interesting and totally different than what I normally look for in a burger. The vegetables on top were basically a simple fresh salsa. I love avocado, so that was perfect no matter what. It definitely needed a little more salt added on top of the avocado. I chose not to use a whole wheat bun, but that’s my personal preference. I would have liked something not so sweet on the burger, so I would have changed out the regular peppers for jalapenos or serrano peppers.

     

    Eric’s Take:
    6/10

    This burger has a great concept. Bring in a lot of sweetness and combine it with buttery avocado and a slight bitterness from the stevia leave. Unfortunately…stevia plants are NOT easy to find, especially in the fall. I actually went to a few nurseries and spice shops and had no luck. I did find out that Lowe’s Home Improvement carries stevia plants in the spring, so I might try this burger again. The other issue I had was that the ingredient proportions were off. I ended up with a lot more veggies then I needed. Overall the flavors were really good. Marinading the beef in a lime juice made it slightly more tender. The instructions were a little confusing, so I didn’t add the honey to the lime juice when marinading the meat. Still added a nice flavor. This burger also had great textures. The four points for me were lost on difficulty of sourcing the ingredients, ease of instructions, appropriateness of ingredient amounts, and a missing component to cut the sweetness.

Parties, clubbing, massive costumed events, they’re all out there waiting to be attended by the masses.

    Bob’s Burgers Burger Book Review #1

    This month, we at One More Bite with Zoe & Eric decided that we just had to review the very interesting, very intriguing Bob’s Burgers Burger Book. The “cookbook”, edited by the series creator was released in 2016, and features 75 recipes based on the Specials of the Day chalkboard seen in the popular animated sitcom. It was very hard to choose just 5 of the featured recipes to test and showcase for you all, but being October, we just had to give you some of the Halloween and horror themed burgers. Find a new review from this cookbook for the first four Wednesdays of October and tune in on Tuesday the 30th to hear our final thoughts!

    Zoe’s Take: 

    7.5/10

    I really liked the burger itself because I have this wonderful love affair with feta cheese. I used less salt in the patty because of how salty feta cheese is. Of course the chive spread was great, but I would have definitely liked less Dijon mustard, I didn’t find that it worked too well, because dijon mustard is just really strong.. What was definitely missing was fresh vegetables, I love frickles as much as the next person, but that doesn’t make up for some lovely lettuce and some red onion and tomato. Also, more chives, always more chives. And I definitely thought it helped to put the frickles on the burger, not just as “wheels”.

    Eric’s Take:

    8/10

    This was a great burger to start with. I loved the creamy dijon chive mixture and fired pickles with the slaty feta burger. I paired this burger with a brioche bun, which worked well. I also used a 85% lean ground beef because I was stuffing the patties. The recipe was easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find. This recipe lost two points for the following reason. Like Zoe, I felt the burger lacked a freshness component. With the fired pickles and feta it was a bit salty and desperately needed something like fresh tomato. All the flavors were there though, and in general I felt hit earned a good score.
