It's been a while since my last report, mainly since there ain't been much to report about. But a couple of weeks ago I was in Antwerp for work again. Still in a celebratory mood after winning the Belgian Floorball Championship, I figured I'd go all in at Finger's to celebrate. Big mistake!
Where: Finger's, but I won't bother you with the address.
Burger: As I wanted to go big, I got myself a chicken burger to start with. Three bites in, I was ready to write it off completely, but then the tastes started working: the peppery sauce, the fresh tomato and the chicken itself. In the end, the soggy bun didn't even bother me that much, but I must say I'd hoped for crispy, not soft, batter.
Then it was time for the main act. Last time the Thumb burger was good with great potential. This time when I unwrapped, it looked worse than the year-old McD burger. The meat looked hard and the bun wet. I shouldn't have, but still hungry, I took a bite of it. Disgusting! The bread tasted like it looked and the meat was just all wrong: hard on the outside, uncooked on the inside. The sauce and the veggies didn't come through and after four bites I had to give up because of the extremely ill-cooked patty. I think it's time for the Thai working the grill at Finger's to focus on pad thais and curries instead. I hadn't been on the train to Brussels when eating, I would've told him so.
Drink: Coke
Side: Fries. At first I thought: these are so fresh, so crispy, just great. But once I'd eaten past the first third, they were just hard. Consistent with the rest of the meal.
Cost: €9,70. Rip-off!
Question: WTF? Where's the consistency? Next time I'll go to Starbucks instead (it's just around the corner anyway). A potentially great relationship had come to an abrupt end.
