The Phat Albert

American dining evolved is certainly how Evo has tackled a traditional favorite with an all natural twist.

Evo’s Phat Albert is Worcester’s original stuffed burger made up of a 1⁄2 pound of All Natural Adams Farm ground beef, stuffed with a blend of American and cheddar cheese, baked in our 1600 degree stone hearth oven sealing in all the flavor, and accompanied with Alexia Oven Crinkle Classic fries topped with the “Cattleman” which includes BBQ sauce, sautéed onions, crispy bacon and cheese.

The burger itself was true to its name, as a fat round burger it is reminiscent of a hand rolled hamburger. Contrary to standards the “toppings” sat pleasantly below the burger allowing the first bite to focus on the bun, meat, and cheese stuffing before reaching the salty and sweet flavors of the bacon and BBQ sauce. The burger was truly stuffed, the melted cheese poured out of the burger after the first bite. Prepared perfectly, this burger satisfied and was hard to put down—partly because of the flavor and partly to prevent the melted cheese from pouring out onto the dish. The fries, classic all natural crinkle by Alexia boasted the flavor from the deliciously seasoned with sea salt & cracked black pepper.
