The Fight Between Mushroom-Swiss and Bacon Burger

Chili's in Sh. Zayed Branch has a pretty good service. Let's just say you won't be pulling someone's hair to get attention, and by someone I mean, a server to take your order.

Food comes to your table as soon as it's ready. It also helped that it's not as crowded as the other branches. And yes the fact that it was an hour before closing when we arrived. It's all about strategy, baby!

So, we went there to find out which tastes better, the Mushroom-Swiss or the Bacon Burger. 

Both arrived with thick french fries, crisp on the outside yet soft and crumbly on the inside. It's still junk food but as I always say, "I know it'll kill me but at least I'll die happy!" So the chips were a good start. Even better if it has melted cheese on top of it... yes, bacon bits won't hurt either! Oh well, mayonnaise and catsup will do more trick too!

Going back to the challenge... we asked for the burgers to be cut in half, so we can both enjoy it. The gloriousness of medium-to-well done patty was shown by our server and oooh-la-la, it looks juicy-licious, not bloody at all, just perfect! 

I bit on the Mushroom-Swiss and immediately tasted the rich sauteed mushroom, swiss cheese and fresh veggies. The patty tasted just as how I've imagined it'll be, delish! It was so good that my burger bar was way up high when I tasted the Bacon Burger. I fell flat on my face. I was expecting more from it. Much to my disappointment, it wasn't as good. The bacon was on the hard side and the cheddar cheese didn't help. It did have all the fresh veggies but it just didn't cut it. Deep inside me, (don't know about my friend) I wished I didn't give her my half of the Mushroom-Swiss :P

In the end, we both had a small portion of Bacon Burger uneaten. It wasn't as appetizing as we hoped it will be so we didn't bother to finish it.

For AED 35, this burger is a gift to the hungry. It is a decent size, a bit heavy on the tummy but who freaking cares! It is sooooo worth it!

Tip 1: You must eat this hungry. You'll thank me for it.
Tip 2: If you want to enjoy this burger, don't order any appetizers...  
Tip 3: Eat your french fries after you've already enjoyed a bite or two of your burger.

Enjoy!

    fellow foodies!

    I take my reviews seriously albeit all the jokes in it... :) if you're a resto I did not rate well, it means you have to try harder ... hopefully next time, I'll give you a better review.

    *Reviews are my own opinion. Dining reviews are segregated into anonymous and hosted categories.

    Sadly, consistency is an ongoing issue in most F&B outlets, our hosted dining tend to be better than paying customers' and so your feedback is much appreciated.
