Karl, as I assume the proprieters name to be, is a big man with green tattoos on his forearms. He has cleverly adapted the Carlsberg logo to read 'Karlsburgers' and added the obligatory 'probably the best burgers in the world' tagline to the livery on his van. Which is all very nice, but his bacon sandwich left a lot to be desired.
The breakdown...
"Bacon roll please" says I.
"Large or small?" Karl asks, menacingly.
"How big's a small?"
"This big." says Karl, holding up a bun the size of a football (the world cup started today, ooh topical)
"That'll do."
Bread
Soft, fluffy white bun (4)
Spread
No spread. Not even a mention of it's existence (0)
Bacon
Two rashers; one slightly overdone, the other as stiff as a board (2)
Sauce
Neither offered nor taken, but available on the counter if required (5)
Salinity and Flavour
On the salty side of tasty. Or the tasty side of salty (3.5)
Price
£1.80 - incredible value for money. I'd have gladly paid extra for a third rasher (4)
Overall rating for Karlsburgers - 3.1 out of 5
If Karl had buttered that bun and thrown in the vital third rasher, or even if the two rashers I was given has not been so blatantly hot-plated all morning, his eponymous burger van could have achieved a much higher score.
