WORLDWIDE CHICKEN BURGER APPRECIATION SOCIETY

TEXAS CHICKEN
Purveyor: Texas Chicken, Singapore Airport
Menu Item: Big Tex Burger Combo
Price: $6.80
Squawk: Chicken was better than it looked – juicy, tender despite being a little cool. Tomato was nice to see on there too after our recent Helsinki Hesburger experience.
Buaawk: What self respecting chicken chain has the nerve to:
A) call themselves “Texas Chicken,” and then
B) not have any true Texas style vinegar based hot sauce? That is a major fail. And when you factor in they we’re serving Asian style chili sauce instead, well that’s just plain wrong. Even if we are in Singapore. It’s not Singapore Chicken. Somebody in Texas needs to get dragged behind a pickup for that one. Also, major Mayo overload and the fries weren’t hot. On top of all that, every table in the place was dirty, there we’re no napkins, and the sweaty, frustrated staff were just obese enough to make me seriously consider a Subway salad instead. And you know how gross those are. With a name like Texas Chicken it has to be good – and it wasn’t. There’s probably worse out there, but we hope not.

HESSBURGER
Purveyor: Hesburger, Helsinki Finland
Menu Item: Chicken Burger Combo (Small)
Price: €4 Euros
Squawk: Greasy chips, but with a nice crunch, iceberg lettuce was fresh and crisp. Bonus points for being uniquely Finnish.
Buaawk: Burger is a fried, processed patty that may as well be potato, or Silly Putty. Overloaded with mayo and the bun was hard. And sweet. A not delicious combo.

SWEDISH SIGNAGE
This is how you say “chicken burger” in Swedish. Sadly I spotted this joint on my way to breakfast and it was just too early to give it a try. I know what you’re thinking, it’s never too early for a chicken burger. And you’re right. My bad.
DALSTON – HOT & TASTY
Spotted in Oslo, Norway – he comes with his own soundtrack on a vinyl 45. I haven’t heard it, but if probably sounds like “crunch, crunch, crunch, chew, chew, chew.”
