Summer of BEEF Review: White Spot

1. Presentation:
We’ve all been to a White Spot before, and understand that despite their somewhat recent franchise wide decor upgrade, the restaurant itself don’t leave upon it’s patrons feelings of admiration or wonder. The presentation of the burger is plain enough, served on a white plate and fries on the side. The burger itself was well structured with ingredients all in view from the side.

2. Ingredients:
The standout in the White Spot burger would definitely be the “OOO” sauce, a creamy vinegar mayo with relish mixed in. Fattening for certain, but this reviewer hardly had that factor in mind when he dreamed up this beef tour idea.

3. Bun quality:
The bun was soft, lightly toasted, and tasted light and fluffy. The bun directly under the pickle was soggy, but thats tradition for White Spot, and to be expected.

4. Beef:
A friend of mine had recently told me that the beef at White Spot had recently taken a downhill swing, but I found that not to be so during my visit. The meat was tender, flavorful, if not slightly overdone. It felt like it should, and just as I remember from years of legendary burgers in my extreme youth.

5. Taste:
The White Spot Bacon Cheddar Burger tasted like best diner burger you could ask for. White Spot, being an extremely old franchise, somehow manages to hold onto some of that history with the way they prepare and serve their burger. It tastes like it would be right at home in the 1950s, and it’s juicy ingredients and crispy bacon make this burger a winner and able to stand the test of time.

8/10
