🍔 Review № 428 ━ 📍 Mugwort BBQ ★★★☆☆ • Mugwort BBQ is located in Gråbo, 30 kilometres northeast of Gothenburg. Their main focus is barbecue, but seeing as we visited them when they held the Swedish national burger championships in 2020, we made sure to try their burgers as well. The restaurant itself is located in an industrial area that they've turned into a cool and inviting BBQ haven, with interesting interiors and handwritten menus. During our visit they had 3 burgers on their menu, plus an off-menu burger called "Roulette" that changed depending on the staff's mood. We ordered all 4 burgers in order to get the full picture. The prices were around 140 SEK (16 USD) for a double burger and 75 SEK (8 USD) for the single patty variety. • Their main "Mugwort" burger, with cheese, bacon, lettuce, truffle mayo, pickled red onions, BBQ sauce and double beef patties (around 100 grams each) was a real beast. The bun was nice and soft, and had been properly toasted. It didn't take more than one bite for us to notice that there were a lot of flavours fighting for our attention though, and the most noticeable one was their award-winning BBQ sauce. This meant that it completely overpowered the burger with its sweet and smokey flavours. Sure, it was nice - but there wasn't much balance to be found. • The actual beef patties were a bit heavy and lacked that great crust that we're always in search of. We would have liked some more salt and pepper as well, seeing as the beef didn't really stand out against the other ingredients. The cold lettuce didn't really help either. The other more simple burgers, such as their cheeseburger, worked much better flavourwise. And our Roulette burger with loads of cheese plus cheese puffs showed that the kitchen staff doesn't lack creativity. • Mugwort BBQ is definitely an interesting restaurant to visit. Their burger is alright, but the BBQ dishes, friendly service and location is much more impressive. ━ @mugwortbbq #burger #burgers #burgertime #burgerporn #burgerdudes #burgerlovers #food #foodie #hamburger #hamburgare #grabo #graboburgers #🍔 #🍟 #🇸🇪 (at Mugwort's BBQ Shack) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF1JE3wFxKS/?igshid=1xbdw2854tz4x
