KRAVINGS ETC... 106 Winn Street, Woburn, MA. www.kravingsetc.com/
I was a little biased against this place and was going to avoid it completely, but I needed a burger and it was convenient. You see this place used to be a really great dive of a pool hall back in the days where you could still smoke in Massachusetts. It turned into a restaurant called Crazy Karry's or something like that, but nobody went there. Then it became a restaurant called Flighty's? But no one went there either. Now it's Kravings etc.... And... ONE person went there... Me. Swear to god... Only car in the parking lot. But enough of that. I don't judge the restaurant. I only care about the burgers.
At first glance it's "Meh". Looks like it's just your basic patty, boring piece of processed american cheese on a plain and simple sesame seed bun. But at SECOND glance... It's far worse.
Cheeseburger Rule #1: Cheese matters. When I pull off the top bun, I shouldn't see what looks like a kraft single on my burger. That's technically not cheese. I'm not saying that's what it is, because honestly I'm not sure but it looks pretty suspect.
Cheeseburger Rule #2: Quarter turn when grilling. You must have cross grill marks whenever you grill beef. Pretty sure it's part of the test when you get your cheeseburger license. These grill marks look fake and make me wonder if they came precooked and frozen just to be nuked for my order.
Cheeseburger Rule #3: Leaf Lettuce. It is NEVER ok to use shredded lettuce on a cheeseburger. Green leaf lettuce is the best. Iceberg is too watery. Oh and the veggies go on top. Burger juice is supposed to seep into the bottom bun.
So they broke all three of my rules. The burger wasn't horrible, but if that's what they are going to serve then maybe they shouldn't even bother with them. Stay away from their cheesy-beefiness.
I usually don't do this because it's a Cheeseburger blog, but I felt I had to give them something. They have awesome chicken finger subs. Yeah I got two dinners. So what? They have a bunch of different variations too. I got the Chicken deluxe, Crispy chicken fingers, Bacon, American cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, & BBQ sauce. Heaven on a roll...
