An Unexpected Burger...

Burgers!
So many different ones available.
So many different ways to create one.
Many trucks have them.
So coming across something new and unique is well, special!
Especially coming from a truck not known for it's burgers.
Enter Ta Bom! The truck touting it's "Brazillian Taste"
They have a burger, (Brazillian style I imagine), they call the Hamburgao.
This is a very imaginative Brazillian treatment of what has become an American classic.
First of all this burger is big. Although it doesn't say it anywhere, the patty looks to be about 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound. It's topped with scrambled eggs, bacon, potato stix, corn, mayo, lettuce, tomato and thousand island. I know that sounds like a lot of ingredients but it totally works. Those ingredients come together to create a new and unique taste. unexpected on a burger. The bun is soft and fluffy and the meat is perfectly cooked medium rare.
The comb comes with nicely seasoned fries and a drink for 10 bucks.
This is a food coma waiting to happen, absolutely one of the better burgers I have ever tasted.
So next time you come across Ta Bom, Give the Hamburgao a try. That is if you can get past the pastels, tacos, burritos, the Giselle wrap and the coxinhas!
This truck certainly will get a "Stalker Approved" sticker if we ever get around to having some made!!
Ta Bom is truly the bom!
