Burger Logic Ep 2: Jollibee Champ

Among local big fastfood chains, one of my favorite burgers has to be Jollibee's Champ. It is 1/3 pound of goodness, freshly prepared only when you order [with the 12 minute wait time - everytime], with its slice of tomato, cheese and lettuce. 

At this point, I'm not even sure McDonalds can match up with Jollibee in terms of their "marquee" burgers. The Big Mac feels more like the Medium Mac, while the Big and Tasty, is more of a dressed-up quarter pounder. 

What I do appreciate is that it is freshly prepared, and that the patty is really juicy, compared to other burgers [ironically, even other Jollibee burgers as well] which are dry. The meat is 100% beef, and you could really taste the difference. 

Price-wise, it is cheaper compared to a.] the McDonalds Big and Tasty b.] Burger King's Whopper and c.] the McDonalds Big Mac. Those are some of the big burgers around the fastfood wars. I'll try to write in about the others, but in the meantime...

Burger Logic: Ep 1: Burger Machine

I haven't written anything for a long time here, and I figure that I need to get my juices flowing again. I've got tons of pictures and no posts to show for them. It's time to get them uploaded and get something uploaded.

First off, the classic burger stand, Burger Machine. The top of the food chain, in terms of burger stands, back in the day, and was so popular that even the Eraserheads endorsed them at one point. It's been around since forever, but in recent years, it seems to have taken a back seat to Angel's Burger and other burger places.

The classic BM stand.

The classic burger stand is still around, and as with the current trend, they are offering Buy One Take One on seemingly all of their burgers.

Pictured is a Jumbo Bart burger. I'm not exactly sure why it's called a "Bart" burger when it's basically a burger with coleslaw in it.The burger is freshly cooked, which is common fair for burger stands, but I still find to BM to be the best when it comes to preparation. What irks me though is their audacity to charge P6 php for a spoon of cabbage with a bit of dressing. Sometimes even less! 

The actual burger itself though is still good and enjoyable. The patty is thin though. Well, I guess competition is stiff when trying to keep prices low at this level.

At this point, for 50Php, it's still a good buy, and brings me back to my high school days when me and a few highschool buddies would almost make it a daily habit to grab a burger [or two] before heading home.

In the years since, a lot of the old Burger Machine stands that I used to frequent have closed shop, and other stands have taken their place. Have these new stores taken over and have swept BM at the wayside? I'd like to try everything I can, and verify for myself. I still have a busy schedule but would try to write often.
