Ben: VENISON BURGER w/ fries. Burger with Poached Red Wine Pears, Mushrooms, Bacon, Cream and Plum Jelly on a bun.

HOW THEY STACK UP:

1. BACKGROUND 1 2 3 4 5
2. BONUSES 1 2 3 4 5
3. BUNDLE 1 2 3 4 5
4. BURGER 1 2 3 4 5
5. BUN 1 2 3 4 5
6. BOLDNESS 1 2 3 4 5
7. BARGAIN 1 2 3 4 5
8. BELT-BUSTING 1 2 3 4 5
9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 36

NOTES:

- decent beer & wine selection, no booze

- pears seem to big in scale, too much pear to burger ration

- pear & sauce don’t seem to add much to the overall flavor, gets in the way of the venison

- would have been better with a nice dry rub & simple sauce

James: SANTORIN BURGER w/ fries. ½ Lamb, ½ Beef burger with Tzaziki sauce on a bun.

HOW THEY STACK UP:

1. BACKGROUND 1 2 3 4 5
2. BONUSES 1 2 3 4 5
3. BUNDLE 1 2 3 4 5
4. BURGER 1 2 3 4 5

8. BELT-BUSTING 1 2 3 4 5
9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 38

NOTES:

- average bundle could have used something “crazier” like mint jelly

- the tzaziki sauce was a pretty good compliment b/c it had a minty taste

- the burger was juicy and flavorful

- you could taste both the lamb & the beef, easily demolished
