🍔 Review № 523 ━ 📍 Firehouse Kitchen ★★☆☆☆ • Firehouse Kitchen opened in Kungsbacka just south of Gothenburg at the end of 2021, when they took over the old grill kiosk on Kungsbacka’s main square. We had heard about their generous opening hours and the new owner’s high ambitions, and our expectations were high when we visited them. Firehouse Kitchen mainly serve sausages and hamburgers, and their burger menu consists of six beef burgers and a halloumi option. A single 100-gram patty costs 99 SEK (10.5 USD) and a double burgers costs 119 SEK (12.5 USD). French fries are included in the price. • We ordered a double Cheese n Bacon Burger with bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onions and burger sauce. After a reasonably short wait our hamburger arrived, looking a bit worse for wear. It hadn’t been assembled with very much love, but we still hoped that the flavours would be there. But to be honest it tasted just like it looked, and there were several glaring issues. Sure, the beef had some nice flavours to it and seemed to be of high quality chuck, but it hardly had any crust or seasoning from salt or pepper. The main flavours came from the large amounts of ketchup and mustard, especially since they used a regular Swedish grill kiosk mustard instead of an American yellow mustard. Not even the burger sauce stood a chance. The bun was pretty nice and fluffy, but it would have benefited from some time on the griddle as well. • Firehouse Kitchen’s had several problems that should have been easily avoided, and just proves that high ambitions don’t automatically lead to great results if the basics aren’t there. There are several better options just in Kungsbacka, so we really hope that they take these criticisms to heart and start improving their techniques. ━ @firehousekitchen.kba #burger #burgers #burgertime #burgerporn #burgerdudes #burgerlovers #food #foodie #hamburger #hamburgare #kungsbacka #kungsbackaburgers #🍔 #🍟 #🇸🇪 (at Kungsbacka, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ_WXIxD7Lo/?utm_medium=tumblr
