You’ve trained for months — maybe you’ve been eating healthily to fuel your race. You reach the finish line. Your mind and body are overwhelmed with exhaustion, joy, relief, disbelief, hunger, and heaviness. You need to eat something fast, handheld, and salty. But an average burger is a valid reason to cry when you’ve just battled through a race.
What is Burger Club?
Burger Club is about finding the best burger — a burger worth pushing up a hill for. Because when you’ve worked so hard to achieve your goals, and you’re craving a burger, you need that burger to be good.
So, as the self-proclaimed food critic I am, I’ve gathered a group of mates (The Board) to find Cape Town’s most banging burger! That’s what we’re chasing at the Burger Club – the ultimate bite! We’re on a saucy, beef-fueled, cheese-dripping mission to find the best burger in Cape Town. At the end of a race, life is too short to settle for dry patties and basic buns.
Bringing In the Burger Board
The Board and I will try out a new burger joint every month. Here, we’ll order the most popular burger and put it up against our harsh/ruthless scoring system. The burger will be scored out of 100 points, covering anything from the patty, bun, chips, presentation, ambience, and value for money. We’ve even included a “wow me section” that can be used for absolutely anything (maybe the chef or waiter is cute?). After some serious chats, we’ll individually score each burger, add the totals and get to our overall average. We’re taking this seriously and not messing about—full burger review mode is on!
The Perfect Combo
Nothing hits just as well as something salty and meaty after a run. A juicy burger contains all three macronutrients, and it’s got that salt that our body needs after a sweaty long run. It can be a great post-run recovery meal or an excuse to go out and enjoy a meal with mates. I have run my way through Cape Town, and now it’s time to eat my way through it.
