6-10-18 Toledo Zoo's Carnivore Cafe Cheeseburger



Zoo days are some of my favorite summertime memories. What's even better is when the zoo is free. This year we got zoo tickets as an appreciation gift from my employer.
It seems like when Nick and I go to the zoo, we usually stop at the Carnivore Cafe for lunch. It is great to see how far the zoo has come with the animal habitats. It is strange to think about the animals being kept in the small enclosed encounters previously.

The bun for this burger was an average, seemingly store bought bun. The bun was cold/room temperature. No toasting or warm up. It did surprise me how dense the bread was. It almost reminded me of a pretzel bun. It was chewy.

The burger was grilled and was extra done. I am sad to report no juices were left on the inside of the burger. It appeared to be seasoned with salt and pepper.

The toppings were shredded lettuce, cheese, and a tomato slice. The cheese was cold on top of the burger. The lettuce was wilted. The tomato was almost see through. I do appreciate the condiment packets. This allows you to put on as much as you would like. I used a lot of mayonnaise.

Before I get hate mail for not loving the zoo's food, I know that the likelihood of someone mass producing great burgers is hard. I genuinely love going to the zoo. On a side note though, the food trucks are able to do it. Next time I probably will just order the chicken tenders.

Toppings: 4
Buns: 3
Burger: 3

Overall: 3.5
