8 Cuts Burger Blends

Their name came from the 8 cuts of beef from where their burger patties are made. You have the option to choose one of their “burger tributes” (ready made burger combinations) or make your own combination of burger, bread, toppings, and sauces.

Celebrating a fellow gastronomer’s birthday lunch, we chose a burger tribute, The Piggy, which was a beef bomb blend patty, with strips of bacon and bacon jam (can’t have enough bacon, yeah?), on a sesame bun and upgraded the patty to 1/3 pound instead of the standard 1/4. We availed the shake box upgrade where you add 225 pesos to get a 12oz great shake and skinny fries. We chose the Nuteloos milkshake, a combination of Nutella and Speculoos Cookie Butter.

The Piggy burger and fries arrived at the same time. We halved and shared our burger. Good thing there were two bacon strips so I just sliced between the two. I was thinking of whether I’d use the fork and knife to eat. But I just grabbed the burger with my hands and took a bite. Afterall, eating a burger that way feels more satisfying. You get to feel the “burger-ness” of the experience.

Real juicy beef, just the right doneness, the beef bomb blend patty had both. The bacon was crispy that we were able to take a bite unlike other bacon that is a bit rubbery. A pleasant bacon-y addition was the bacon jam – bits of bacon with a consistency of jam.

Crispy skinny fries have just the right seasoning of salt and pepper. We kind of wish we also upgraded the fries to the one with the subatomic bacon and cheese toppings. You know, for more bacon …

If nutella is a favorite, imagine it with speculoos cookie butter. Imagine it in a milkshake. Top it with whipped cream and cornflakes. Add a piece of graham. Now take a sip and taste that cookie butter goodness with that familiar hazelnut spread. That was our Nuteloos shake. It was not very thick but it served as a sweet ending to our meal. If you are a fan of those spreads, better try this.

If you are a fan of burgers, better try 8 cuts. We need to go back and taste the other patty blends.
