'The Fat Elvis Burger'


It's great to see independent cinema The Projector survive the pandemic lockdowns, and growing from strength to strength. It has planned year-long pop-ups at different locations. Happy to know that it'll be at Holland Village, Somerset, and soon, The Cathay.

Stopped by The Projector at Golden Mile Tower for a show that is not Elvis. The man sorted out the details for the 8.30pm show. We wanted to get dinner at the theater's Intermission Bar too. We wanted to eat 'The Fat Elvis Burger' done by Keith of his old brand 'Meat Packing District'. We enjoyed his burgers back then. Sure, he does it every now and then when we pop over to his dining table. But it was exciting to taste his burgers in a commercial setting again.

There was the beef patty with cheddar and brioche bun of course, with banana tempura and the other two things I didn't care for, peanut butter and turkey bacon. I'm not a fan of peanut butter, and I don't usually want bacon-anything, not turkey or pork. I definitely do not want peanut butter or strips of bacon in my burger. The man and B loved the peanut butter. Okaaayyy. Most of my peanut butter dripped out. Hahahah. Ah well, it was still a good burger. It wasn't too greasy overall or over-salted. The beef patty was well marinated and nicely grilled. 

'The Fat Elvis' burger came along with a side of shoestring fries. Packets of non-spicy Heinz chilli sauce was available at the counter. All right, that would do. Had a 'Pink Spritz' (Cirka gin 375, lemonade, strawberries and prosecco). Okay, one glass would do. Gin and prosecco combined is never a good idea. Always fun to catch up with the friends. Came at 6.30pm to have an early dinner. It was filling. I was stuffed and didn't need supper after the show.
