I work in a restaurant in Tokyo japan, and we won 3rd best in the city... I have to say I love our burger. it is of the 'fat' kind. Big and juicy, and we add an asian tomato salsa that kicks butt.
other than that, I have loved all kinds of burgers all over. But I am now looking only to eat burgers from local raised non industrial beef. we need to stop ag biz madness and support our small farms.
I am a big starbucks customer, but I too was disappointed in the sandwhich problem. I think they should serve only those things that they can actually give the same time and attention to- that they give their coffee service.
Buy local at least. out source and make it special within each outlet area... I am sure that there is a company at least in relationship to the city starbucks, who could do these better and still deliver periodically throughout the day?
The key is teaching people balance, exercise, and not over doing anything... banning stuff doesn't work!
Whataburger (the Texas chain)
I love hamburgers and never miss a chance to try a new one and never had a hamburger I didn't like. I read about hamburgers from all over the world.
But I never enjoy any hamburger at any price as much as a Whataburger. If I eat a Whataburger and nothing else I don't care if I eat another thing the rest of the day.
The Black Angus burger at Stoudt's brewpub in Adamstown PA is sublime. It's all about the bakery fresh roll baked on-premise
This is hands down, one of the dumbest articles I have EVER read. If you want to be serious about what you eat, you are NOT going to go to Starbucks. Of course their quality is not good! Their coffee is great because it's convenient and quick, not because it's quality. Find something better to criticize. Criticizing ANYTHING at Starbucks is like shooting fish in a barrel.
PS. They dont as sh1ty as it does in that pic above.
I live in Vancouver BC Canada. The Starbucks down the raod is selling the breakfast sandwiches. I *Love* it. There is another place where i go in the morning "Tim Hortons" (Canadian icon) to get a quick bit to eat + a coffee. I can say now, the Starbucks breakfast sandwiches OWN. There are hands down the best. Im hooked.
The best I can tell, the people dissing the Starbucks breakfast sandwiches have not actually eaten one. I had my first in Philadelphia last weekend. It was really good. It was not an Egg McMuffin (which I appreciate for being the healthiest widely available breakfast sandwich, but the spongy muffin and American "cheese" are far from good). I had the ham, egg and cheese version. The Black Forest ham and cheddar cheese were both really good, as was the slightly oversized English muffin. There was nothing special about the egg part, but neither was their anything objectionable about it. It was by far the best breakfast fast food offering I've ever had of the bread/egg/meat/cheese variety.
The people who complain about appearance of the sandwiches remind me of the time a friend of mine was invited to judge the baked goods competition at the state fair. A number of the people on the panel with her wanted to hand out ribbons based on appearance alone without actually tasting the baked goods. Same concept.
Starbucks was in need of more non-sweet breakfast selections. They hit this one out of the ball park. I can't wait until they're in all locations.
Frankly, I'd be happy not to run into any of the grousers in Starbucks.
Head to Somerville, tamerianenj! R.F. O'Sullivans burgers are amazing.
Boston is a pretty lousy burger town. It's a compeltel obsession with big huge mostrous pub burgers. That said, Abe and Louie's makes a kickass burger.
Shannon, which restaurant? I spent four months in the Tokyo area and had more than a few burgers; I'm hoping I tried yours!
Despite this review, the general concensus of these sandwiches seems to be pretty popular. Living in Wisconsin, I have yet to try one, but several forums say the things are pretty good. And yes...even worth the money.
I find this new sandwich thing a pretty big plus in the Starbucks consumer world. While Starbucks will always be known for it's coffee, having them offer a little variety is nice. We all love convenience. And this is very convenient.
