ARCHIES ATOMIC BURGER MOVIE

I feel like we’ve neglected Atomic recently as we’ve had so many great burgers at other places. Oh I get it now… If I could make one change however I’d double the onions. And as I write this review I experience a sort of lightbulb moment.

They were crispy, slightly caramelised and had an almost “burnt” flavour to them (not a criticism). Not a smack in your face sort of ingredient but a perfectly executed compliment to the rest of the ingredients on The Wicker Man. I picked one out and sampled it on its own and it had a really bloody good flavour to it. I was expecting a slight warmth from the chipotle but instead it was a clever smoky flavour, but don’t worry, my heat requirements were more than catered for today by the devilishly HOT Fallout Chicken Wings – more on those later…Īt first I wasn’t sure if the Cajun spiced red onions had been included on my burger, but after a bit of a poke around I found them nestling within the braised beef. Very good in fact, and a welcome diversion away from the almost predictable pulled pork offerings served up everywhere now. I could have taken a shed-load back to my friend’s house I was staying at that Saturday, tipped the lot in the paddling pool in the garden and just lay in it all afternoon, supping on that sweet, soft braised beef. It was rich, luxurious and frustratingly more-ish. It doesn’t turn into a complete mess and IMO there was a perfect amount on-board the beef patty I opted for today (you can choose beef, chicken or veggie). There’s not a ridiculous amount of the braised beef on this burger. I’m not going to say much more about the interior etc and I refer you back to past Atomic reviews to read more about that. If I could summarise what this place is like in one sentence it would be: ultra-cool, 80’s pop-culture inspired eatery with a stunning array of food options and the most magnificent staff. You see on the July Joker Special the burger comes with a good amount of slow cooked, Chipotle braised beef as opposed to a burger served in a burning wicker basket…īefore I continue talking about this burger experience today I’ll quickly mention Atomic.

ARCHIES ATOMIC BURGER MOVIE

This is the closing scene of the film and my logic is that this is where the movie gets its inspiration (slow cooked meat). Note to Atomic (or anyone else reading this): if you want to do a Terminator-inspired burger in the future it HAS to be called the Burly Beef.Īnyway… back to The Wicker Man and spoilers follow: in the 1973 movie, the principal character is locked inside a giant, hollow wicker man statue which is then set afire by the islanders/pagans. I’ve never seen the movie which this burger is based on so unfortunately this review will not be loaded with comical references and shameless Pepsi product placement like in our previous Atomic visit – the Sarah Connor burger. Have you felt it?Īfter a relatively long time, Burger Lad® returns to Atomic Burger in Bristol to check out the latest Joker Special. Slow cooked Chipotle brazed beef, Cajun Spiced red onions, American Cheese.ĪTOMIC BURGER: EPISODE VII – THE BURGER AWAKENS
