In response to a time when Queen stopped under another closure, the stronghold of the corrupt hamburgers - the garage - decided to go back a bit to one of their first and most successful specials, now called "Retro Banana Special", which includes, if you still don't understand, a banana on a burger.
In a kosher and especially crazy version.
The same kosher version is cheese-free and includes the caramelized bananas and maple sauce, on top of the delicious patty of the place.
The pictures seduced us a bit and we had to try and figure out if it was a flash, a troll or a brilliant troll.
The conclusion?
It's delicious and it's weird, and it's delicious.
The balance of the soprano patty, which arrived in a separate and sealed container, clarified the sanctity attributed to it in the "garage".
She did not rest there alone.
The pair of caramelized bananas placed on it heralded the extraordinary taste of the bite in the whole dish.
True, beef is not the natural surface for bananas, certainly not in an overall burger shell, but the adventure that flows through the name of the dish ("Special Retro Banana") invited us to an experience that turned out to be wonderful.
The shipment came packaged well and in a way that allows the taster to choose the dosages and supplements according to personal taste.
It included a fresh bun, the usual toppings for a hamburger - lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle, and the unusual toppings for a hamburger - peanut butter and maple sauce.
And here begins the interesting assembly game, in which it is recommended to take the dosages very seriously: the dish can end in an overdose of sweetness that may take over the blessed saltiness of the patty.
You should taste each item individually to make the match.
The liquids that flowed from the patty injected the necessary moisture into the rest of the ingredients down to the depth of the bun, making the full bite the lightest.
Aside from an unconventional compound of flavors, there was also a pleasant transition between textures.
The patty was wonderfully made and came in exactly the desired size (in this case M).
Contrary to fears that the combination of ingredients would be burdensome and awkward, the bananas and meat were assimilated together in a strange, interesting way and in the end - a willow to the palate.
Along with the hamburger we tasted the garage chips, which were well fried and also gave a salty and pleasant contra to the dish.
This puzzling dish left us with the thought bubble: "What exactly did I eat now?", So if you are in the business of examining unusual menus that remain to nest in the brain after a meal - this is a dish that is definitely worth a try.
Something between a dessert burger and a meaty dessert.
Well, weird.
