Jalepeño Peanut Butter Burger
Chubby's - Saratoga Springs, UT
December 31, 2019
I’m worried every time I go into Chubby’s that I will be able to identify with its namesake when I’m done. Thankfully, with the exception of their milkshakes, it is worth the risk.
“The Jalepeño Peanut Butter Burger” is an elusive find at Chubby’s, only to be spotted in the coldest parts of the year (it is their December special). When I saw that an establishment that prides themselves on the quality of their burgers had the audacity to desecrate peanut butter (one of my food groups), with jalepeños and beef, I was left without words. Upon catching my breath, I calmed myself and told myself that this must either be a sick joke, or a magnificent discovery that would be the next major leap in the art of burger-craft. If you raise an eyebrow at this unholy concoction of condiments, know that you are not alone. I, too, was once in the dark. I still don’t understand why or how, but this particular burger works. I suspect if it was prepared by an inexperienced chef, it could be a lethal disaster, but it was through the able hands of the Chubby family that I was able to enlighten my palate. If you are feeling peckish for both a burger and an existential crisis, but cant find anywhere to get both, I recommend making your way to Chubby’s in December.
The Beer Battered French Fries were of a caliber matching their companion burger. As one who typically despises large-cut french fries, I was willing to make an exception to that rule for these little beauties. The perfect amount of crispiness, combined with their delicate seasoning made them an excellent pairing with the equally-delectible fry sauce.
Typically, I have found that excellent burger joints produce excellent milk shakes. Unfortunately that is not the case here. This milkshake qualifies as an IMPOSTER!! The Oreo Ice Cream in a Cup was so thick and poorly mixed that I could barely consume it with a spoon.
