    Bob’s Burgers Burger Book Final Review

    Texas Chainsaw Massa-curd Burger

    A habanero stuffed patty slathered in melty cheese curds and homemade ginger-ketchup.

    Be careful! This burger is hot!

    Zoe’s Take:

    9/10

    I really liked this burger, but I also really like hot peppers. If you don’t love hotness, you probably won’t love this one as much as I did. There are 4 (yes you read that right) habaneros peppers diced up in the patty. Paired with the melty cheese curds, and the sweetness of the homemade ketchup, I think it was a pretty perfect burger. I give it a 9 because I think it’s probably too hot for a lot of people.

    9/10

    This burger was fantastic. Habaneros are my favorite pepper by far. Once you get past the heat they have a great and unique flavor. I was cautious about the amount of heat I was adding, and the habaneros I had were pretty big so I only used two. I also grilled burgers. This may have caused the oils from the peppers to leak out of the burger. I say this because I didn’t feel it was spicy at all, but all the flavor of the habaneros was there. The cheese curds also added a great flavor and texture, which was great. The home made ginger-ketchup was really good too. However, I halved the amount of recommended ginger and it was still a lot. I gave this burger a 9 because it was a great burger and was easy enough to make, however, the proportions of ingredients seemed to be a little off.

     

    Zoe’s Take on the Cookbook as a Whole:

    10/10

    This is one of the coolest cookbooks I’ve ever used. I love burgers so much, and this book is ONLY burgers. So if you’re like me and enjoy burgers, and interesting ones at that, I definitely recommend buying this book. I can’t promise you that all of recipes are going to be 10/10, but that’s just my opinion. For you, it could be all 10/10.

    Eric’s Take on the Cookbook as a Whole:

    9/10

    This was a super fun cookbook. Great layout, fun recipes and easy instructions. The proportions for ingredients were a little off sometimes and some ingredients were very hard to find. If you love burgers this is a MUST have. I look forward to using this book for a long time coming.

    The Jack-O’-Lentil Burger

    We’re talking about Over-the-Top the movie–this Hamburger tastes like arm wrestling.

    Zoe’s Take

    9/10

    I absolutely loved this burger. I didn’t think I would because I’m normally not the biggest fan of lentils. But I actually adored every bit of this burger. The lentil mixture was actually amazing. The added sweetness from the honey, plus the hotness of the serrano peppers ACTUALLY worked. I love most things that have goat cheese on them, and this was no exception. The baby spinach provided a nice crunch as well, which is definitely necessary for this burger. There is an earthiness to this burger that I didn’t expect to love, but I do. The reason why I didn’t give this a 10, is because it’s also a very messy burger, because the lentils fall off when you tilt the burger, which is sad.

    Eric’s Take

    8.5/10

    This was my favorite burger yet. The creamy goat cheese and fresh spinach with the sweet and spicy lentil mixture had great texture and depth of flavor. The honey and the serrano pepper did a lot for the lentil mixture. It was certainly a messy burger, but the lentil mixture held up better than I thought it would. This burger lost a point for the complexity. For the average person the multiple steps of this burger may be daunting. Cooking lentils is no easy task if you’ve never done it before. I actually overcooked my first batch. The half a point was lost on difficulty of sourcing ingredients. The “Orange Lentils” were difficult to find. I finally managed to get Red Lentils, which are really the same thing.
