Who moved the cheese? KFC literally did- with their "Cheese Top Burger"; yes, you heard it- not a regular cheeseburger but an actual cheese on top cheeseburger. A few days into its first release, this sandwich has already gotten a lot of attention, and to be honest, a lot of criticism. But still, the question remains, is the Cheese Top Burger a flimsy attempt by KFC to deliver a new and fresh idea for burgers, or is it one of the many ingenious creations of the franchise? Regardless, we felt the need to put EAT to the TASTE.
We headed to the nearest KFC and ordered a Cheese Top Burger for the go. For a fast food chain with a catch phrase such as "so good", the cheese top burger isn't looking it's part, as usual.
But, as for all burgers, its the taste not the looks that's important, and so we took a bite. At first thought, putting the cheese on top was a needless idea, but it actually makes sense if you want to separate the cheese from the mash of bun, patty, sauce, and saliva (once you chewed it). Sadly, this was not the case for the Cheese Top Burger. Yes, it did separate the cheese
but it also isolated the taste from the rest of the sandwich leaving the taste of the mediocre chicken patty and sauce in our tongues. At the end of meal, all we had was a salty chicken patty in between two buns--and a cheese which didn't even complement the patty and sauce.
In conclusion, the Cheese Top Burger is just one of those crazy burger ideas that fails to put thought on taste, but sure
enough, we would like to commend KFC for thinking outside the bun! ;)
