Kristina and I made our way to the Black Rock Bar and Grill, attached to the Franklin Park Mall in Toledo. Today's menu presents us with the Over the Moon Burger: Half pound Angus beef, pepperjack cheese, Chipotle mayo, bacon, and "half moon" mozzarella moons replacing the bun.
Let's start with what would be the bun. The sandwich had 4 mozzarella half moons in place of a bun. I love this idea. You still get the presentation of a sandwich while being unique with style. The takeaway is it is fairly hard to eat this with your hands and instead break out the knife and fork. Not an issue in this case, rather when you think of a burger, you think of grabbing it with your hands. The moons were freshly cooked. The breading complimented the mozzarella as it was light enough to not be overwhelmed with breading.
Bun: 8
The toppings had some challenges. The pepperjack gets lost in the sandwich as it is competing with the mozzarella, which dominated the sandwich, and the chipotle mayo, which is probably why there wasn't too much mayo on the burger. The chipotle mayo seemed to be there to say hi with the flavor, but it wasn't in every bite. The bacon was cooked well and had a fairly good taste.
Toppings: 7
The patty was cooked well done with a nice sear. It is always nice to have a cook who knows how to cook well done and still retain the flavor and juices. The seasonings faired well with the Angus beef that gave you that stand out flavor with a bit of a kick. This has been the best patty I have had this far with RateABurger.
Patty: 10
OVERALL: 8
This burger was a nice surprise. I like to get burgers that most people may not get and see if you, the reader, should try it, too. This burger is their Marquee burger for a reason.
