Burger Review: Sheraton Hotel
I’ve got a thing for hotel burgers. I guess its because burgers are the safest thing on the menu to have when traveling because no matter what country you’re in and you order a burger you know exactly what to expect. Now I don’t want to review all the hotel burgers in Kuwait so I decided to go with the one hotel which has never disappointed with their food, Sheraton. Some people say they’ve got the best shawerma and I wanted to see if they had the best burger.
They only have one burger on the menu and I ordered it medium well. When the burger arrived I think around 15 minutes later I was surprised to see that instead of one larger burger the dish was made up of two medium sized ones. They’re too big to be sliders but too small to be a regular burger, strange size but I didn’t care. The burger had cheese, tomato, chopped up lettuce and what looked to my like mayonnaise, I added ketchup myself and took my first bite. The beef tasted really fantastic and was cooked perfectly even though it was pretty thick. The only problem was everything else. The bread started falling apart half way through because it was getting really soggy and that made it very messy to eat. In the second burger I decided to remove the tomato in hopes of solving that problem but still, half way through the bread started getting soggy and falling apart again. I concluded it must be from the mayonnaise but I didn’t have a third burger to try my theory. The cheese although there and melted beautifully was nearly non existent taste wise. I think the cheese slices they use are too thin resulting in it melting better but not having enough presence to actually make a difference.
I think the Sheraton burger is the best hotel burger I’ve ever had. But outside the hotel circle the burger doesn’t shine. I’ve had better burgers since I’ve started this challenge and I’m expecting to have some more good ones. I’m going to have to give a 3 out of 5, a very respectable score.
Sheraton Hotel is located in Kuwait City.
The cost of the burger was KD5.600

“I’ve got a thing for hotel burgers.” It’s not the burger, it’s the atmosphere of eating in a hotel room and probably on the bed. And the classic club sandwich is my safety net in hotels. Today I tried burger boutique’s Wagyu Portabello Burger, not nearly as satisfying as THE BLACK WIDOW (still my favorite).

Oh, one more thing; with all these burgers, don’t you feel your tensioned all the time and get pissed easier? A lot of beef does that to you you know?

Yeah I dont like the wagyu portabello burger, it doesnt taste like a burger more like a steak.
Just want to also point out my diet hasn’t changed since i started these reviews. I used to eat a burger nearly everyday anyway.

no wonder the cheese had no taste… it’s NOT YELLOW CHEESE! :P
any cheese other than the American yellow cheese on a burger is useless.

I suggest making a small side bar or list showing different places and ratings to keep track of places you have visited.

Are you gonna go to Hard Rock Cafe? Never been to the one in Kuwait but isn’t it supposed to be famous for it’s burgers? I’m guessing the quality isnt the same here though.
