The Cure is Red Robin’s idea of the ultimate drunk food, almost an American poutine. It’s loaded: a fried egg, chili, bacon, mushrooms and cheese, with a small cup of steak fries on the side. I’d already finished my gingerbread shake before the burger got to the table.
The egg exploded out the back like I expected. I love egg yolk, and when it soaks into the bread, it’s good. The chili tastes like a plain red bean chili, nothing special. The meat is tender and not dry, but overall it’s a little bland. Even the egg yolk gets hidden, and so does the bacon. There’s a sweetness in there I couldn’t identify, maybe the chili or the red onions, and that was my favorite part.
It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be: corporate junk food for the morning after. Worth eating, maybe not worth the price, unless you’ve got a coupon. What’s your American drunk food? Chili cheese fries?
Some meals here are on me, some are hosted. Either way, it is disclosed and the score is mine. If this helped you decide where to eat, sponsoring a meal helps keep it going.
