Bubba's Revenge

Bubba Burgers' slogan is “We cheat tourists, drunks and attorneys” but we can think of a new one. Clearly, a greasy hamburger joint, no matter how good the burgers might be, is never quite as good for a vegetarian. On the other hand, you would think a hamburger joint would be the kind of place to get a veggie burger just right.
When we checked Bubba's menu online before flying here, we saw they serve a teriyaki/ginger veggie burger and Hartmut and Jennifer kindly bought us each a burger for our honeymoon. Upon our arrival, we learned the only vegetarian option is the Taro burger, which the guy working described as “good.” With that enthusiastic recommendation, how could we not order one?
Rob thought it tasted nice but I, on the other hand, thought it was pretty horrible. It was slippery and squishy and even the slice of American cheese on it didn’t make it better, but I managed to get it down me. The next day, Rob and I planned on going into the town of Lihue for a Tahitian Dance Festival. On the way there, we stopped for coffee and pastries and that was when Rob realized Bubba was threatening a return visit at any minute. Even the fresh air overlooking the Kilauea Lighthouse didn’t take away the queasiness. Finally, we realized our day in Lihue was not going to happen so we went back to the condo and watched some movies.

Bubba never did come up again that day, if you know what I mean.
