CHEESUS CHRIST!

While we were having dinner at Blue Dog Cookhouse and Bar — which opened April 7, 2022, at the Boca Mall, (6000 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida) — my guest wanted a burger.
▫️
Now keep in mind, our other dishes that evening, like the “Hamachi Pizzette,” the “Bone Marrow Crab Cake,” the “Handmade Vegetable Dumplings,” were a total bust. (Reviewed earlier.) And since the burger came with the corny name of “Cheesus Christ -- choice of brie, havarti, american, mozzarella, cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, and blue cheese” ($24, before tax and tip), I just knew we were headed for trouble.
▫️
The next indication of a problem is when our waiter’s eyes rolled when we requested the burger “plain, medium-rare, without cheese.” “Are you sure?,” he asked. (That should have been our second warning signal; after the “cheesy” name, of course.)
▫️
When the dish arrived, the third and final death knell was the look of the meat paddy. Even though we had asked for it medium rare, it was dry, overcooked, and accompanied by cold, rubbery fries. A guest described the burger as “needlessly heavy and flavorless … unable to stand on its own.”
▫️
Since we didn’t want to invoke the Trinity, (out of fear we would be condemned to eternal damnation), we suffered in silence and scored this unwholly thing an “F.”
▫️
(By the way, Cheesus wouldn’t have blessed this dish, either.)
