The Jerk

Great burger, was feelin like a lighter hit and it delivered, best choice when your not craving a heavy beef patty. Flavour is awesome and perfect hit of chilli with its fresh jalapeños. Impressive.

Taking a trip up to Newcastle to help a mate move house after being promised to be "well compensated with many a burger from this little place I know" I found myself in Rascals taking on The Jerk. The chicken tasted like Rascals had stolen Mama Maybell (a woman synonymous with the production quality fried chicken for years, nay decades) from Southern Mississippi, chained her up out the back in the kitchen and forced her to cook any delicious feathery creatures that stumble into her grasp. The chick was so crunchy that it would have rustled the infamous Capn Crunch's jimmies as he howled with glee, whilst still managing to maintain a juiciness that all chicken shops desire to achieve. As fellow burger lovers know, bun stability is key as nobody wants to demolish a Burgs that looks like the twin towers on the 10th of November by the time they reach the end of their graze. Im proud to announce that this bun was bloody delicious. If anyone is ever up north in Newcastle this place is well worth a stop. The burgs are so big n delicious that you may start to sweat, but you will leave with absolutely nay regrets

Thought about trying something different, but monkey see, monkey do, so the jerk gets the jerk. Tis a nice burger, good slaw and spice, but it loses points as the juicy chicken breast was an odd shape, and it didn't give good burg coverage. I was left with over a mouthful of bun after I had finished the chicken. Still a great burger, highly recommended.

Rascal is a double edged sword when it comes to burgers. On the plus side, the burgers and food are great, but it is located in one of the worst locations known to man. Parking in the city is absolutely horrible, and I wouldn't recommend phoning ahead to order as your food would get cold by the time you found a park and went to pick it up. But let's talk about burgers. I ordered the jerk, largely because I mistakenly thought it was named after me. The best thing about Rascal is their speed of order. You barely have time to scratch yourself and your order is up! I've had it before and loved it but today's offering was missing something. Good mix of flavors, sauces and juicy chicken. A great offering but not the GOAT. I got buffalo fries which are an excellent side, and overall if you like putting meat and bread in your mouth, do it here.
