Paul, Pete & Kim had...

Fuel Burger ($16 with chips)
Prime Beef Patty, Cheddar Cheese, Fuel's Secret Sauce and Salad

Paul says...

Before ordering the FueI Burger, I asked what the special sauce was. It was a stupid question of course, as if they were going to give away their trade secret. After all, everyone flocks to Fuel at The Star just to get the burger with the secret sauce. It's like asking Colonel Sanders what his secret herbs and spices are.

The Fuel Burger is a big burger, but it has nothing on Fuel's God Father burger. The beef was tender and juicy, just the way i like it. The added flavour from the secret sauce was... well, it was MIA. Maybe it was a mild honey mustard or mayo, but i couldn't tell. It's a great burger for a meat lover, but i like a little extra flavour on my burgers.

I was about to mention the sauce that the chips came with, but now i'm thinking that it could have been the special sauce that was meant to be on the burger. If it was, thank god it was a side of sauce. At first i thought the chips were coated in a bacon flavour, but it was the sauce. It's like a blend of tomato sauce, mustard and bacon. It sounds good, but I didn't enjoy it.

Paul's score: 2.5/5

P.S. I need another good burger!

I didn’t know what to expect here, as we all sat around the table waiting for our burgers to arrive I thought, man this better be a good burger, especially for $16.

When the buzzer went off, telling me my burger was ready & that I could go and collect it, I was surprised that the burger came with chips and how big the burger was as well.

As I was eating this massive burger (although small in comparison to Marina’s The God Father burger), I couldn’t taste much of their so called secret sauce, they were stingy on the pickles – everyone kept talking about their pickles in their burger but I had yet to come across mine, even when I was halfway through my burger…I think there was only 1 slice of pickle. Give me more pickles next time!

Everything else in the burger was pretty average, I can’t really remember anything about it that sort of stood out. I guess if you are in The Star and hungry, then give this burger a try. I’d say it was worth the money, especially with the chips on the side! 

My score: 3 out of 5

Until next time,

Marina had...

The Godfather Burger

I think by choosing this burger with two beef patties, Canadian bacon, onion jam, mushrooms, salad and Monterey jack cheese I may have bitten off more than I could chew............literally

The burger was huge, so much so that I couldn’t even pick it up without a landslide occurring.

I had to remove the 2nd patty to make it easier to eat

I must say however that the mushrooms and pickles really added to the taste and overall the burger was tasty but I don't think I could take it on again.

Bigger isn't always better

Marina's score: 3.5/5
