Burger of the Day: Lotteria's Frico Cheeseburger

When a reader directed my attention to this Frico Cheeseburger from Korean fast food restaurant Lotteria's, I was a little afraid of what may be inside - no, not because of where it is from, but because we are often guided towards items that that would umm....definitely fall into our food oddities category. However upon closer inspection, I was pretty relieved surprised to discover that it is a relatively "normal" burger complete with meat, cheese sauce, lettuce, pickles, and tomato.

What makes it different though is the addition of yellow pepper rings, black olives, and the pièce de résistance - a deep fried, breaded patty of Dutch Maasdam cheese. Now I've often had onion rings or the like on a burger, but deep fried cheese? I think that takes this fast food burger to a whole new level of sinfulness.

(Thanks, FriendLee)

The Lotteria in Vietnam was terrible, however.

I have given them many chances over the last 15 years here, and the photos of the Frico Burger look alluring indeed, but memories of the last Lotteria meal always stop me from being drawn into the restaurant.

Dont judge a food by its colors....

Now, if you want to talk about a monstrosity--Lotteria's Kimchi Burger. The only way they can get people to eat it is shameless nationalist appeals.
