While in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic, a lot of restaurants are doing as much as they can to survive and keep their employees working and making money and one that immediately stood out to me is Texas Roadhouse.
For those of you who haven't heard, Kent Taylor, the CEO of Texas Roadhouse is giving up the rest of his salary for the year in order to help pay the employees at his restaurants. That is a class move, and after reading that, I had to include one of his burgers on the list, even if it is a huge chain.
The burger itself wasn't bad! While I always get a steak when I go to Roadhouse, the burger had a pretty solid argument to be a more ordered item. The meat was soft and fell apart with each bit, and had a juiciness and flavor that you could also taste steak, which I assume came from the fact that they probably grilled all the meat on the same grill.
The lettuce, tomato, and onion were pretty generic so there was not much to talk about there. My only fault with this burger was the cheese. The cheese was definitely a slice of cheese that was tossed on after the burger was done, which given how busy they were, was maybe the best that they could do.
The bun was actually super good. For a place that is known for it's rolls, I should have probably known that they would take pride in all of their bread products, but the bun was big, soft, held the juices very well, and was seared on the grill with butter so it soaked in a lot of flavor.
I went back and forth with this burger being a 3.5 and a 3, but I ultimately had to settle on it being a 3 due to just the lack of creativity. I have no doubt that if I were go go back and get something like their Smokehouse Burger, it would certainly score higher.For those of you who haven't heard, Kent Taylor, the CEO of Texas Roadhouse is giving up the rest of his salary for the year in order to help pay the employees at his restaurants.

VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
