The ‘Po Boy Burger at Slater’s 50/50 | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 15

86 The ‘Po Boy Burger at Slater’s 50/50 is all texture, and no seafood. It is more or less an okay burger, but I would not write home to mother about it. I think I expected more of a fried shrimp but strong shrimp-taste ‘po boy sandwich. What I got was a lot of breading, and a hint of hot sauce, well other than when the burger choked me.

March’s burger has marinated shrimp on Slater’s signature Brandt patty on a Spanish roll. I got the two-thirds. Slater’s doesn’t have a great track record mixing seafood and burgers. I didn’t like their surf and turf last year at all. The shrimp is marinated in Crystal hot sauce, and I didn’t feel the heat at first. Then the second bite kicked in and choked me.

It works, but it isn’t what I expected. I barely taste shrimp, just a lot of breading and hot sauce. The patty is delicious. It just doesn’t taste like a po’boy, and it’s no Pizza Burger.
