Asian Steak Bomb

As it appears on the Menu: Shaved steak, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, American cheese and splashed with a thai chili terriyaki sauce.

The Facts on the Dish: Generous portion of shaved steak with gooey melted cheese with the right amount of peppers, onions and mushrooms.  The thai chili terriyaki sauce gave it a little kick without being over powering – it blended all well together. Homemade panini bread that was lightly grilled brought it all together.  The sandwich on its own was enough but it came with a generous side of crinkle cut french fries that everyone seemed to be enjoying.  While they were not homemade they tasted very home made.

My Review: Overall it was a great dish from EVO- if you have a big appetite this is a great dish that will satisfy you.  At Evo, you have the option of getting many dishes gluten free or vegan including this very tasty sandwich!  Plenty of option no matter your food preferences.

American Kobe Burger

As it appears on menu: A 1⁄2 pound of ground 100% American Kobe beef flame grilled and accompanied by the regional toppings of your choice.

Facts on the Dish: This menu item allowed for a choice of one side dish including soup, rice or Alexia crinkle cut French fries, brown rice, snap peas, broccoli, or rice pilaf. In addition, you could have the burger prepared with regional toppings such as the Californian with sprouts and avocado, Cattleman with BBQ sauce and bacon, Fungus Among Us with mushrooms and tomato, Fenway Grand Slam with Italian sausage, peppers and onions or the Indian Double Dare with lettuce, tomato and ghost chili sour cream topping.

Review: I arrived at EVO with a tremendous appetite so right away I knew I would be having a burger. When I saw the 1/2 pound American Kobe burger on the menu it made my decision easy, all I needed was to choose how it would be prepared. I chose the Fenway Grand Slam so my 1/2 burger now came with italian sausage, peppers and onions – a meat lovers dream!

When my dish arrived it did not disappoint. The burger was massive (a true 1/2 pound) and there was plenty of sausage, peppers and onions piled on. The buttery brioche roll was perfectly caramelized on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. I was underwhelmed by the brown rice side dish I chose, but it was the burger I was interested in anyway.

Because of the size of the burger I cut it in half and immediately I was disappointed as I ordered the burger medium rare and the burger was clearly overcooked. But when I tasted it, I changed my mind as the burger was perfectly tender and the addition of spicy italian sausage mixed well with the flavor from the burger. The brown rice side dish, which appeared to be more of an afterthought than anything else, was bland and flavorless.
