Here's Looking At You, Kid

On Sunday we went to Coco At The Roxy to sample their Burger Wellington entry, Here's Looking At You, Kid. As the name implies, this is a goat burger, and is normally accompanied by sumac pickled onions, preserved lemon chutney and panelle and buttermilk aioli.

It looked like this:


It smelled like this: (scratch'n'sniff):


It tasted like this (cut out and chew):


Yes, they'd run out. They did, however, offer an alternative burger of beef cheeks, so I had that instead. It was very tasty, and good chips too. I washed it down with a Tuatara Delicious Neck - a beer brewed specifically to promote the film What We Do In The Shadows.

Unfortunately, I had to score this a 1/10 (there is no 0/10 on the website) for not showing up.

And so ends this year's Burger Wellington competition - not with a bang, but with a whimper - at least as far as my participation in it is concerned. The top 5 entries from the public vote now go forward to be judged by a panel of tasters. May the best burger win! When it's announced, I'll probably visit the winning restaurant to sample it.
