Ibaraki Eats is back and Happy New Year everyone! We are finally done with 2020 and moving onto 2021. I hope this year brings us all the things we wish for and all the delicious food we can eat.
During the New Year holidays, I finally got to go back to Drool Diner! Not only that, but I got to take the wife with me as well! I had been wanting to go back for some time now, but my schedule and Drool Diner's schedule didn't allow it. So on January 4th, the wife and I took a trip to Tsukuba to get some amazing cheese burgers.
I'm Back!
The wife was really excited to try Drool Diner after I had talked it up for two months. I was ecstatic to try another burger from their menu. We had gone to Drool Diner on a bright sunny Monday and when we got there, the place was beyond capacity. There were no seats available and a lot of people were waiting for their burgers outside. It was a holiday so of course the place was packed.
We decided to call Drool Diner from the parking lot and get take out. The staff had told us it would be an hour wait, which was fine. we had no other plans that day. I ordered the double cheddar cheese burger and the wife got a mozzarella chili burger. We were told it would be ready at around 2;00 so we headed over to Saza Coffee to have a nice cup of Joe to pass the time. At around 1:50, we went back and got our take out.
Our Take Out
When we came back, the outside dinning area was empty. We received our take out and asked the divine burger staff if it was OK to eat in the outside area. The burger goddesses at Drool Diner told us it was fine so we got our drinks, fries and burgers out of the bag and we were ready to taste burger bliss.
The Mozzarella Chili Burger
This was the wife's burger and I wasn't sure if mozzarella and chili were going to mix well. My wife took her first bite and told me we should have come here last year. She really was enjoying her burger and since she is a kind sharing person, she let me have a few bites. I am happy to report that the mozzarella did mix well with the chili. I was even a little surprised that there was basil on the mozzarella cheese that added a nice flavor to the whole burger. The wife kept telling me that the patty was the best patty she had ever tasted. That is comparing all the burger places we have been to so that is a serious compliment. I would have to agree with her on that. Drool Diner makes some of the best patties I have ever had. The meat tastes so fresh and juicy, and it isn't a small patty either. You can clearly see that with my burger.
The Double Cheddar Burger
Next, was the burger I ordered. The behemoth double cheddar burger. This burger was pretty huge and delicious. The melted cheddar cheese on that perfect patty was what made my day. My wife also tried this burger and gave it the thumbs up. She excitedly said, "肉が美味しい!" Which translates to "the meat is delicious!" My wife wondered if I would be able to finish this delicious gigantic burger. I put her worries to rest because I did finish it, plus my fries. I was extremely full when I did and couldn't get up from the table but it was worth it. The cheddar cheese was delightful and the patty was top class as always. The burger was quite a mess when I was almost finished with it and the buns were a bit soggy but I didn't care. The burger was so good that I was in a delicious trance while consuming that heavenly cheeseburger.
After we finished our burgers, it was time to go. Drool Diner was closing up (they close at 2;00), so we thanked the burger goddesses for the divine cheeseburgers they prepared and made our way to the car. The wife vowed that somehow we were coming back and trying all the things on the menu. I am not sure when we will finish that goal, but it is a goal I can get behind.
I was really glad I could visit Drool Diner again and this will not be my last visit. I am definitely going back with the wife whenever we can. So, if you are in the mood for a great burger, I highly suggest heading on over to Drool Diner. You will not be disappointed. Who knows, you might see me there, trying to decide which delicious burger and toppings I will dominate next.
Enjoy!
