Zombie Burger
Upon arrival I knew why the place was called the Zombie Burger. The majority of the decor of the restaurant was either pictures or statues of zombies or other zombie related content. The menu also reflected the zombie name with its many gory sounding names.
I thought about trying one of the named zombie burgers but then thought against it because of the multiple other interesting options available. After contemplating my choices I decided to go with the Ched Burger and fries. My order was taken by a hipster who then told me what my order number was and I went to sit with my director. The place was quite busy and just seemed to be taking in more and more customers. It was relatively new and seemed to be thriving in the downtown Des Moines area.
After what seemed like a few short minutes the food was ready. I went and picked up my burger and fries. The first thing I noticed was the lack of buns for the burger. Those were replaced by two deep fried patties of mac and cheese. I was really skeptical about trying it for a moment because it looked so peculiar but I finally grabbed the top patty and took a big bite. It was delicious! It tasted like any deep fried food but the mac and cheese inside was a new and interesting flavor that stimulated my taste buds.
After a few more bites I started in on the rest of the burger, which was equally delicious. After a few bites more I started in on the fries, which were a bit of a disappointment after the burger but still better than average.
If someone is looking for a great place to go out to eat I highly recommend the zombie burger in Des Moines. Just not if you plan on a low calorie meal!
