A few days ago a few office mates of mine decided to go on a food trip to A.Venue, a posh looking mall-like place along Makati Avenue. I’ve been hearing a lot about this burger joint there called Burger Avenue that has been getting a lot of pretty good reviews. They’ve also been running a very interesting promotion – finish one of their biggest burgers in 5 minutes and you get it for free! I eat a lot but I’m a rather slow eater so I didn’t really expect to win the free meal. Here’s a picture of the infamous Burger Avenue Ridiculous Burger.

I won’t do my normal restaurant review since I’m focusing here on just one dish and I literally zeroed out on everything except this burger. A review of this harrowing dining experience after the jump.

I think the name of the burger sums up the entire experience. It was just ridiculous. The damn burger was just soooooooo big that it took more effort to eat it than a Judo training session for 2 hours. If you can’t see the picture very well, the burger has three gigantic patties and other toppings as well like tomatoes and lettuce. I tried biting into it but it was so big it couldn’t fit in my mouth and the burger ended up hitting my nose, LOL.

Over-all though the burger actually tastes pretty good. The meat was so juicy that it literally dripped out when you bite into it. The only problem here is that it was just too much to handle. If you want to enjoy eating at Burger Avenue, then stay clear of the Ridiculous Burger. By the way, it costs P255 if you don’t finish it in 5 minutes. It took me more than 15 minutes to even get through half of the damn thing (I was having fries though and was taking my time).

So what’s the feeling after finishing it? You’ll be drained, tired, happy, and very sleepy. Reminds you of another physical activity? Lol.

I’m definitely going back but maybe after a month. My stomach will probably be digesting the damn thing for the whole of February. Thanks to Jake, Joey, and Rick for going with me on this “Ridiculous” adventure!
