If you’re looking for an overwhelmingly positive review: I’m sorry, this ain’t it. Let me out this straight: it was a good burger for sure. But between all the hype built around their launch and my super high expectations, their burgers fell short for me. For me, a good burger’s one that I bite into and think “wah this one sibeh shiok”. Unfortunately when I bit into Carne’s burgers, it was more of a “ehhh x is great but y’s a lil off and z’s alright” sorta situation. The 100% grass-fed Argentinian beef patty was UHMAZING. Densely packed, juicy, succulent, perfectly medium, wonderfully seasoned. I loved the attention paid to their sliced cheese as well (pictured here’s their artisanal American cheese); but as a whole I really wasn’t blown away by their burgers. For one I found the buns a lil too hefty and structured, in the way that’s still fluffy yes but doesn’t soak up all the amazing juices and sauces well. Say for example, the bottom bun was completely wet and squashed (cause the patty and all damn huge and shiok right), but I could cut through it nicely — it had a very chewy sorta damp texture that just didn’t do it for me. We had their Chimichurri burger ($24) and their Complete burger ($28), and neither really blew me away. Just count the number of “buts” in this review, I think that’s a rather useful yardstick 😂 Considering the satisfaction I’d get from a Shake Shack burger (or even a McSpicy), and at a fraction the price as well, I can’t see myself visiting Carne often.
