Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
As all faithful Slashfood readers surely know by now it's National Burger Month. Presumably the nation implied in the title is the good old U.S. of A. Nevertheless I couldn't resist making Japan's MOS Burger todays Burger of the Day. The MOS Burger, not to be confused with the Motz Burger, is Japan's answer to the chili burger. Sadly, I've never had one, but according to Jeff over at Avenue A, the burger is awe-inspiring. It's served up with a thin sweet chili that lies atop a coating of mayo. MOS, which stands for Mountain Ocean Sun, makes everything fresh. They must be doing something right, MOS is Japan's second-largest fast-food chain after McDonald's.

But yeah, the MOS Burger is quite fantastic. Like everything Japanese, it's a lot lighter than its American counterpart (chili burger). Some people may not like that, but I do - it's a chili burger you don't feel guilty after eating.
Just don't make the mistake of ordering a MOS Burger teriyaki burger - you'll regret it.

the actualy MOS burger is not my favorite though. i love their croquette burgers (fried potato croquette patty in a burger bun), or their signature rice burgers! delicious shredded beef/ chicken between two rice patties!! yummo
