GothBurger

Black is back.

It's the burger that goes with everything, and just in time for Halloween! Burger King in Japan brings back the KURO burgers: Diamond and Pearl. Burgers in a squid ink sauce between buns blackened with bamboo charcoal.

I'm hearing alot of negative comments about them, that they look gross. I think they look fun, and they taste quite good. They're as good as BK's regular burgers, but with the kind of charred taste as if they'd been cooked at a beach barbecue. And the ikasumi (squid ink) ads a nice little twist.

I've had it twice so far, and I'll probably have it a few more times before it disappears. But then again, I'm the same guy who just made an effort to eat fried bamboo worms in Takadanobaba. So maybe you shouldn't be too quick to follow my taste.
