Fuddruckers. A blast from the past.

We moved on from New York to Washington D.C. and were met with one of the most worst heatwaves on record. The day we arrived it was 104F or 40 degrees celcius, and it was basically like that for our whole stay.

Luckily Fuddruckers was air-conditioned!

I hadn't been to a Fuddruckers since it closed at the top of Macquarie Centre back in my Uni days and going to the one in D.C., which was in Chinatown, brought back some memories.

They claim to have the world's greatest hamburgers, and they could be great, if you knew what you were doing, because you basically have to make it yourself.

I ordered the half pounder and then when it arrived I had to add my own fillings and condiments.

I added pickles and salsa and lettuce and tomato and had all sorts of sauces to add to the mix, and while the burger was enormous and filling, it was strangely disappointing and bland.

Was it me? Was it the burger? It's hard to tell. The meat definitely wasn't as tasty as Shake Shack. But everything was fresh and there was no end to the way you could construct your burger.

Maybe too much choice can be a bad thing at times!

Taste - 3.0. Better than a regular burger, but didn't really grab me.
Value - 4.0. You get a lot of burger for $5.50.
Messiness - 4.0. It's really up to you how messy your burger is.
Would I eat it again? It'd be worth another try I think.
