For the final burger of 2019, I tried a place that I continuously drive by but have never heard any reviews from anyone I know, making it a real gamble of a place and it turned out to be a somewhat interesting experience.
Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack for those of you who do not know is a south Houston based Cajun restaurant that is very proud of it's seafood and Cajun cuisine if you look at the menu. For example, they even serve a burger where the patty is mixed with Alligator meat and another that is mixed with Crawfish meat. While these would have been excellent additions to this blog, I felt like mixing the meat with other meats would create an imbalance and thus did not try it, but I would love to recommend to go there to do so!
Enough introduction, let's get to the meat of this article, and start with the meat of the burger! As you can tell by the description at the top and picture above, the meat has been formed with Bacon & Jalapenos inside it which I thought was really interesting. The best thing about this is that I could taste the spiciness and jalapenos on EVERY bite which is great when some burgers that include jalapenos may not actually a piece of jalapeno in every bite. The worst thing about this is that I literally tasted none of the bacon throughout the whole burger, if it wasn't for the picture providing evidence, I would say the bacon wasn't even there.
To finish off the meat, while it was VERY juicy, like so much grease and juices that the bun was super soggy by the end it didn't have any seasoning that I could taste which just seems lazy when it comes to a Cajun place, because I expect most things to be seasoned very well.
Really there's not much more I can add to this burger. The cheese and LTO seemed to be just regular generic toppings that you would find anywhere and that bun itself was just a bun. It was very large though, which is great because you are for sure going to leave this place full if you order it.
One thing I would like to add is that I would love to see some more creativity on the burgers in the future. All the burgers came with the same generic LTO and choice of cheese. If there were some different special ingredients on each of these special meat burgers, I think it could really push them up a lot.

VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
