I love a good burger. I really do. In fact I love all “junk food” but the burger supersedes all of them. In my youth I was a grab it with both hands and get stuck in kind of guy, but of late, the knife and fork have become part of my eating lexicon. Either way, wolfing it down, with some chips and an ice cold beer are always premium enjoyment for me!
I have undertaken an almighty task! I will find the best burger made in the Kingdom of Lesotho. This is a task I take seriously! There will be no half assing. There will be no district spared. No kitchen too small, no chef too unskilled.
To this end, yesterday Monday 17 February I began this epic journey in the capital city, Maseru. Cater City with the honour of opening my search! I spoke to the owner of the establishment after placing my order and told her I’d heard good things about her burger. I hoped the legend would ring true.
The food arrived in due time. Home made bun, patty, gherkin, tomato, cheese and a sauce of sorts... Woah, quite pleasing on the eye. I took a man sized bite in to it. Yuup! “That’s a good burger!” I told my girlfriend, she nodded as she took a much smaller, more cultured bite of her burger. I had added some Tabasco sauce to mine, but honestly the burger would’ve been just fine without. For about twelve minutes I was silent as I savoured every morsel of my burger. Between bites, I gulped away at my ice cold Corona beer. A sort of sensory overload ensued. Beautiful, I thought to myself. And for once, I didn’t mean the looker sat across from me.
As I took the last bite of my Cater City delight, I thought to myself “woah, the rest of these burgers have a lot to live up to”. Few better ways to end a Monday!
My rating, a resounding 8.5 out 10 high praise from someone who’s only qualification on the matter years of burger munching!
