Food Review: Burger Fuel, Drool-Worthy Grub Straight from New Zealand

When it comes to food, burgers run a town of their own. Vegetarians and vegans aside, you will hardly find anybody who does not absolutely love stuffing their tummies with a delicious, juicy burger. And although during the past year a new burger joint seems to open everyday, we still get super excited when a new one pops up.

So we were brimming with happiness when Burger Fuel opened its first branch in Egypt here in our beloved Maadi. To try it out, we decided on the Hamburghini, their spud fries and just because we have a sweet tooth that never sleeps, a vanilla milkshake.

The Hamburghini ticked all our burger boxes. The bun it came in was incredibly soft and smelled heavenly fresh. The patty was well seasoned, which is something we struggle to find at most burger joints, and it was cooked just perfectly.

The butter pickles that sat on top of the patty provided the perfect amount of sweetness to the sandwich and accentuated the juiciness of the meat. The rest of the toppings did not overpower the flavor of the meat by any means.

Finally, their special aioli pulled the whole sandwich together, making it harmoniously, lip-smakcingly delicious.

Their spud fries were simply a work of the heavens and -dare we say- we liked them even more than the burger. They were your perfect, crispy from the outside and soft and fluffy from the inside kind of fries. They were stubby, full of flavor and when dipped into the accompanying garlic aioli, made the most tasty side dish we could ask for with a burger.

We were not expecting much from a vanilla milkshake, to be honest, but we were very pleasantly surprised. First of all, the size of the thing makes it a meal of its own. The shake itself had an amazing vanilla flavor and was just the right amount of sweetness without being too cloying.

In general, Burger Fuel delivered on every single aspect. Everything tasted exactly like we hoped and while there may be a couple of others around town that top its taste, it was definitely one of the best we’ve had in this city.

WE SAID THIS: Follow Burger Fuel Egypt on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/BurgerFuelEgypt and find them in Maadi on Road 9 and The District in Heliopolis.
