If you happen to go to Bernie's Burger Bus, the first thing you need to do is ask about their "secret" menu. That's where you will find this bad boy. For some reason, left off the regular menu, even though it could easily be called "The Hot Teacher", the server told me that this was at one point a limited time item, that got such popularity they still serve it.
To start off, this burger definitely deserves a 5 for it's creativity. In lieu of buns, they instead grind up hot cheetos into a coat that they form around mac and cheese and voila, you have 2 Hot Cheeto patties with Mac n Cheese in them. That however, does seem to be a bit of the issue for them, the "buns" themselves seem to overtake the whole burger and most bites were dominated by the Hot Cheeto flavor, which don't get me wrong, I like Hot Cheetos, but I am looking for a burger in my bites, not trying to guess when I'm going to taste it.
On it's own however, the Mac N Cheese filled Hot Cheeto patty was great, I even ate a little bit of it by itself. I could have done without the hot sauce that they chose to smother the meat in, because every bite seemed to just be about burning my taste buds. I tried to find a little bit of the meat by itself and and was pleasantly surprised by the great flavor, it was almost a travesty that they were cancelling the great flavor of the meat itself out with all the additions.
The aspect of eating the burger itself is essentially impossible, sadly to say. Their "buns" were way to big to eat as a normal burger, and it was hard to cut pieces to where I had every single thing no my fork.

VERDICT: 4 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
