Review: Fast Bites Grilled Chicken Sandwich (1/5 Stars)

I’ll admit it—I’m a fan of microwavable burgers. Even canned burgers have a strange appeal to me. There was this incredible microwavable burger I used to grab from bodegas on my way home from the bar at 3 a.m. in Brooklyn. I think they were called Big-Az burgers, and honestly, they were amazing. Then again, I was in my mid-20s, starving, and everything tastes fantastic at 3 a.m. But I distinctly remember trying them outside of those late-night cravings and still thinking they were pretty good.

Unfortunately, this burger? It’s no Big-Az. Even though I think they are made by the same company? This feels more like the last thing you’d eat when the pantry’s bare, and the world outside looks like a nuclear wasteland—because it’s all you’ve got left.

I really wanted to like it—truly. When I saw it on sale for $1.00 at Meijer (if I bought seven, so yes, I grabbed seven different types), I thought, “Well, my blog could use some fresh content. Why not let the world in on my questionable food choices?”

Kidding—mostly. I try to stick to a healthy diet. But this one burger? I’m pretty sure it set me back. And now, for the details: I did this for you.

The packaging seemed okay, look 17 grams of protein!

Best of all, its microwavable. Fun!

When I read the ingredients I had to say a prayer and ask forgiveness. What on earth is this? Note: “Fully Cooked Flamebroiled Cutlet Shaped Chicken Breast Patty With Rib Meat”

The inside package made me feel like I was looking at a military experiment than food for human beings

I was surprised that it was much smaller than I imagined. For over 300 calories, it was almost like a slider.

I microwaved it for the required time but it was still frozen, so I microwaved it for 1 more minute, and it came out very bland. The bread was rough, and the chicken had no taste except a weird fake grilled tang.

I was going to eat anyway, but I had to add some actual food to it. I had some salad in the fridge and topped it off with a bit of BBQ sauce. It made it “edible”.

In the end I would not recommend this sandwich to anyone. Sorry.
