For only the
month of September Byron is having a new special burger. A simple, straight
forward, American style cheese burger. Apparently back in June while
experimenting with buns a typical glazed style kind of popular in the US was
out of the ovens, so they decided to go in a star spangled banner style and add
American cheese, and sliced pickles to a 6oz patty, a little bit of ketchup and
mustard completed the scene. After tried and tested the decision was made a new
special is part of the family.
Byron one more try
The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
I read mixed
reviews from fellow bloggers so decided to give Uncle Sam a try without knowing
what to expect. Got to the place sat ordered a craft US beer to stay in the
concept the Odell Cutthroat Porter. Asked for my Uncle Sam, add coleslaw and
courgette fried.

The burger is
ok, but again for me not great. If you love traditional style cheeseburgers
that’s the one for you, you will love the thin patty with the kraft style
American cheese. The pickles were too cold for the burger, it was a bit
unpleasant sensation the hot patty and the melted cheese with the frozen pickle.
The burger was cooked medium rare as ordered. The courgettes didn’t make it for
me, bland and too fluffy, not good. The slaw was good. The service was spot on just perfect.

Definitely the
only burger in Byron I really like so far is the Big D in February, having said that I have to
reckon their marketing strategy is brilliant, couple times in a year a new
special that is making me return even though I’m not a big fan of the place.

If you’re a
diehard American cheeseburger traditional style fan, don’t waste time just a
few days more on the menu, 5 to be exact, in my case one is enough.
These specials remind me the Seinfeld
episode “The Frogger”.

that looks completely different to the bun i had-mine was flat and tasteless.
I know I have experience some of this inconsistencies as well... My cheeseburger was good, only issue the pickles too cold almost frozen cold... So far my favourite Byron is the Big D, that's the only I return for...
