A hot burger joint from Bangbae-dong, the Buster's Burgers, has launched in Apgujeong. Their limited menu consists of just one item, the Buster's Burger, and a side order of potato fries (Tater Tots). With a single offering, they opened their store which is impressive and they have expanded it to branches! The Buster's Burger is a basic burger filled with scotch steak and topped with onions and cheese in a crispy bun. The taste provides by these simple and clear-cut ingredients are intense.
When bitten into, a variety of textures are felt - from the crispy bun, moist bread, to the tender steak and cheese. Contrary to the visuals, the meat wasn't dry but tender and the baguette, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, wrapped the meat nicely. If you crave a unique taste, you can also eat it with the accompanying truffle mayo or sauerkraut.
The only side dish, the Tater Tots, provides a crunchier feeling than normal french fries. The truffle mayo that comes alongside it makes for a great dip. The burger was satisfying and the hip space was attractive. The tables had hand-washing stations between them, and while convenient, could be a little awkward when it gets crowded. A downside is the lack of zero sugar cola, which would be a nice addition. The flavourful taste of America is highly recommended for those who want to experience it!
