What could be more American than a cheeseburger? Especially a cheeseburger in a box, frozen?
The Fast Bites Cheeseburger (or Cheese-Burger? I'm not sure if the hyphenation on the box means that "cheeseburger" is supposed to be hyphenated or not) comes to us fro
m AdvancePierre® Foods of Cincinnati, Ohio.
I hadn't heard of
AdvancePierre® Foods before so I went into this with no particular expectations.
The packaging was a simple cellophane, encompassing the whole burger.
The cheese featured prominently, it must have been near 1/4" thick!
After microwaving for 1:20 we're ready to dig in! It was much better than I expected. The bun was a bit chewy and the meat patty had a definite char broiled taste with a hunt of soy filler. The cheese tasted about the same as all the other American cheeses I've tasted. The burger is plain, all you get is the meat the cheese and the bun. If you want any condiments you must add them yourself.
This being the case, if you are within range of any fast-food restaurant with a dollar menu burger, you're probably better off with that. You'll get a fresh bun, 100% beef burger, and condiments. The only thing that might change your mind is a fast food burger (at least here in Texas, your sales tax laws may vary) is subject to 8.25% sales tax as a restaurant meal, whereas the AdvancePierre frozen cheeseburger is
untaxed as an unprepared food. So you're looking at $1.08 vs $1.00. So that's something to keep in mind.
