When we were at Costco, my boyfriend took a box of the frozen Morning Star Chipotle Black Bean Burgers from the freezer, and a guy behind us blurted out, "Those are really good - I buy them every time I come here!" Suspiciously, we did not see any in his cart, and he didn't stop to get any burgers. Nevertheless, his enthusiasm sold us on buying them.

I tried the veggie burger patty by itself, and it didn't really taste that great to me. It was a little bit spicy, which was fine, but I didn't like the sour chipotle taste with the texture of the beans at all. It tasted kind of gross. My boyfriend thought that it was OK, but I don't think I will have these again.

REVIEW – Pierre Signatures Angus Cheeseburger from Costco

I tried a Pierre Signatures Angus Cheeseburger from Costco.

The burger tasted like a regular cheeseburger, maybe a bit fattier. I also found it salty, so after eating part of one with the cheese, I decided to try one without cheese. I tried a new burger and microwaved it without the cheese in it. The burger without the cheese wasn't as salty and tasted better to me.

The bun was also good and wasn't soft and mushy or too hard. However, after eating the majority of the burger, I let it sit out for a few minutes while I went to do something else, and when I came back to eat the rest, the bread had become a little rigid.

By the way, don't get your hopes up for microwavable lettuce. Unlike the front of the box, the actual burger doesn't come with any kind of lettuce. 😛

REVIEW – Firebirds Wood Fired Grill: Smokehouse Burger (Leftovers)

Firebirds BBQ Smokehouse Burger

I had a part of my boyfriend's Smokehouse Burger and french fries from Firebirds as leftovers. The Smokehouse Burger came with BBQ sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and red onion.

I usually don't like burgers with BBQ sauce, however, as leftovers, I loved the Smokehouse Burger. The meat was cooked medium and was pink. The meat was very good, and the sauce didn't overpower the burger. The burger bun also wasn't soggy, and it tasted great.

The french fries that came with it were a little bit dry, but they still tasted pretty good, and they went well with the burger.
