Cheeseburger in Paradise gone wrong

We dont get out much. With 2 kids, allergies, and one income a date comes far and few between. I saw that Cheeseburger in Paradise had advertised a gluten free bun to go with their burgers. I was super uper excited because I have been CRAVING a nice fat juicy burger! I like to eat, which is probably why I havent lost weight since going gluten free. Anyway, we were seated promptly and greeted with a smiling waitress. She seemed nice and returned shortly with our waters. We put in our orders and then the waiting...waiting...and more waiting. About 35 minutes later our burgers arrived with what I would compare to charcoal bun. My gluten free bun was so burnt it was hard and made everything else have that burnt to a crisp taste. I was so appalled that a chef would send out a bun that burnt. I was soooooo hungry I didnt say anything to the waitress for fear of having to wait any longer and have a hole in my stomach. So I sucked up paying an extra dollar for the gluten free bun took it off and ate the burger. I am very sad that no one mentioned the fact that my bun was sitting on my plate, burnt to a crisp and even the waitress when returning said nothing. We keft without incident but I will not spend my money there again.

a thing or two

I have been craving a burger! So we got ground beef, mixed together an onion, a green pepper and a mixture of seasoning. They turned out scrumptious! The Schar rolls were soft but not very flavorful and a little dry, however I was very happy to endulge and have a burger.
I would eat them again.

Something I will not be eating again is the Bob's redmill raisin bread! It was the worst gf food I have tasted thus far. It was hard, tasty horrible. Really and truley will not try that again. Udis gluten free raisin bread is awesome. It was cheaper for the Bobs redmill so I thought Id try to make it but I am very dissapointed I had to throw it away. :(

Reviews

I was in Florida, I had to make a last minute trip to see my mom who wasnt doing very well on a ventilator. To my despair I realized I needed to eat something and I realized once my stomach growled and my hands shook at the airport that I had in fact nothing to eat and the hamburgers from burger king were not going to be ok. I ended up eating salad, which also doesnt agree with me most times but usually not till the next day ;) Then when I got off the plane and visited my mother I realized I needed to go to the store. First destination was Walmart. I was feeling sad before I even went, and since Walmart really isnt my favorite place to go I hoped really really hard that they were going to offer some gluten free options. They did in fact have the one spagetti that my store at home has but not much else. The next day I realized I was starving so I decided to try Winn Dixie. I remembered they were pretty well priced the last time I was here. TO my despair they had nothing gluten free. I thought I was blind so I asked the manager and he replied, " Well we will be getting some bread next week but we dont currently have anything, sorry." Well def sorry for me!! I ended up eating a lot of potato chips. Very healthy...So at last I couldnt stand it a few days later I ventured to Publix, at last an organic and gluten free section! I found some gluten free muffins. It wasnt a real english muffin, a little hard freezer burnt but if you coat A LOT of cream cheese on it you can get it down. So thats what I did! Oh and cupped with a good cup of coffee got me well through lunch time. Where most of my lunch consisted of sitting at the hospital with a diet coke and the occasional cafeteria salad which wasnt half bad.

I recently got home and was thrilled when I went to Farm fresh and saw Schar bread and rolls!! Udis has gotten hard and holey and I havent been very impressed most recently with my almost $6 loaf bread. The Schar bread looks like regular bread and was softer, but to my surprise really has no taste. I made an egg salad sandwich with it today and I was sadly dissapointed with the taste even with adding too much salt! I am hoping the rolls will be good with a burger because I miss having a good burger!
