Burger Fuel Treat

In March this year the website Treat Me was launched by the same company that runs Trade Me and planned to run daily discount deals online, similar to existing websites like 1-Day and Deal-a-Day. When we heard that their first deal was going to be $1 burgers at Burger Fuel, we jumped at the chance to get in on the action. It wasn’t until yesterday that I actually used my voucher though, because it was expiring on the 29th of May so I didn’t have much time.

The Hashius Clay caught my eye.

Yesterday after class I walked down to Burger Fuel on Queen Street and had a look at burger choices on the menu. It was my first time eating at Burger Fuel, and after looking at the original prices I could see why. $10+ for a single burger?! cRaZy. Thank goodness I had my voucher, I thought to myself. The most expensive burger on the menu was the wagyu beef burger at $14.90, but there was a special (maybe for a limited time only?) burger called the Cashius Clay that attracted my attention. Piled with two pieces of chicken, two hash browns, bacon, egg and lettece, the burger looked like a beast! The guy at the counter told me the waiting time would be 8 minutes so I sat patiently and enjoyed the free water that was on offer.

Shortly after, my order number was called out and I was given a brown paper bag that contained my mammoth meal. I unwrapped the bag to find a larger-than-usual bun that was struggling to stay upright without spilling all its contents out. I had high expectations. For a regular price tag of $13.50, you’d expect to be satisfied. And satisfied I was! I could barely open my mouth wide enough to take a bite out of the burger, but by the time it was finished, I wished there was more! Not because I was particularly hungry, but because it tasted pretty good! If only they cost $1 every day, I’m sure I’d be their #1 customer. For now though, I think I’ll stick with my mum’s sandwiches if I want my bank balance to stay positive.
