In the ever-evolving world of gourmet burgers, Gogo’s Smashed Burgers has certainly made waves with its promise of deliciously smashed patties. With a burgeoning reputation and a dedicated following, we decided to dive into their offerings to see if they truly live up to the hype. Here’s our take on three of their much-talked-about burgers.
1. Wagyu Smashed Beef Burger
First up was the Wagyu Smashed Beef Burger with a single patty, a promising contender with its premium beef with soft cheese. The initial bite was delightful, showcasing the rich, buttery flavor in sauce that Wagyu is known for. However, as we continued, we found ourselves yearning for something more. While undeniably good, the burger lacked a certain depth and complexity that we expected from such high-priced beef burger of Rs. 2300. It was a solid offering but fell short of being extraordinary to be a special item on the menu.
2. House Smashed Beef Burger
Next, we tried the House Smashed Beef Burger with double patty of Rs. 1050. This one, unfortunately, didn’t quite hit the mark for us. The patty was well-cooked, cheese & sauce tasted good, maintaining a nice juiciness, but the seasoning was off. It leaned too heavily on the salt, overpowering the natural flavors of the beef and other ingredients. While some might appreciate the strong seasoning, we found it detracted from the overall experience, making it less enjoyable.
3. Oklahoma Smashed Beef Burger
Finally, the Oklahoma Smashed Beef Burger with double patty – a true standout of Rs 1150. This burger was a revelation, primarily due to the expertly caramelized onions & melted cheese that adorned the patty. The sweetness and depth of the onions & sauce perfectly complemented the savory beef, creating a satisfying flavor profile. Each bite was a delightful balance of textures and tastes, elevating the entire experience. The Oklahoma burger is a testament to Gogo’s potential when they get everything right.
Final Verdict
Gogo’s Smashed Burgers presents a mixed bag of experiences. The Wagyu Smashed Beef Burger is good but doesn’t fully justify the premium promise. The House Smashed Beef Burger is decent but marred by over-salting. On the other hand, the Oklahoma Smashed Beef Burger shines brightly, making a compelling case for Gogo’s place in the gourmet burger scene.
So, are Gogo’s Smashed Burgers worth the craze? we’d say they have the potential, particularly with offerings like the Oklahoma Smashed Beef Burger. It’s clear that when Gogo’s hits the right notes, they create something special. If you’re venturing to try them, the Oklahoma burger is a must-try and might just make you a believer in the hype.
