Poke bowls? Poke burgers
Australian burger pop-up Down-n-Out (In-n-Out down under) is selling a two-week run of Pokemon-inspired hamburgers. Squirtle got the shaft as the crew went with two starters, Bulbasaur and Charmander, as well as the ubiquitous Pikachu.
The grass starter apparently tastes a lot like a McDonald’s Bic Mac with a piece of broccoli drilled thru its skull. “The burgers’ flavors have been designed to match each Pokemon’s look and personality,” Ben Kagan, creative director for Hashtag Burgers, toldCNBC. “Charmander is a bit spicy and has orange lava cheese.Pikachu we wanted to be a bit silly,” which apparently means it’s, “stuffed…with Tiger Fries, french fries covered in cheese, onions and a Thousand Island-style spread.” I’m not sure what’s silly about that?
