On my way to Jake's I was prepared to get a normal double cheeseburger, maybe a triple if I was feeling crazy. I must have went out of my mind, and should have been sent to the mental asylum for what I ordered. A friend of mine told me before I went that if I went to Jake's Wayback, I had to get the Triple Triple. I thought this was something he made up, so I shrugged it off and focused on my double cheeseburger. I walked inside the restaurant and standing before me was a six foot cardboard cutout of the massive Triple Triple (not actual size...but close). If this is their selling tactic it definitely worked on me. I walked in expecting to eat two patties, and walked out having ate NINE patties. Nothing says give me a heart attack like eating a nine patty burger, with each of the patties cooked in a half inch of grease.
Let us examine the monstrosity of the Triple Triple...
Triple Triple: 9 patties, 9 slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato
The Beef: Of these nine patties, zero of them were ever frozen. The meat comes in pre-sized "balls" of ground beef, which are placed on the flat top and smashed flat, then cooked to amazingness. The fat ratio in this meat must be high because of the amount of grease that these patties were producing. The taste was the taste of a nice, delicious, greasy, burger that you expect when you go to a chain restaurant. 3 out of 4.
The Bun: No bun could contain this burger. But it was a typical white bread bun, not toasted, but then again, nothing could be done to this bun to hold the weight of this burger. 1 out of 4.
The Beef to Bun Ratio: How do I begin to evaluate this burger? It is a beef to bun ratio. So we technically have way more beef than bun, but does this mean the perfect burger has this much meat? No. I cannot determine a rating for this burger, because sadly, there is such a thing as too much meat. It didn't kill the burger by putting nine patties on it, but it didn't help its cause either. While most would expect this burger to receive a 4 out of 4, this burger will receive a 3 out of 4.
The Presentation: The manager came out of the back and made me this creation himself. He grilled the burgers and supervised as the young lady placed the 9 cheeseburgers on the single bun. She placed three at a time on the spatula, and held them over a corner of the grill to allow the excess grease to pour out. She placed the three patties on the bun, and the manager instructed her to fix them since they appeared to him to be a fraction of a millimeter off the center of the bun. She did this twice more until my tower of nine cheeseburgers was ready to be topped with the second bun, lettuce, and tomato. The perfectly balanced creation was then wrapped up and delivered to my hands. The methodical process in which the manager and worker handled this situation made me think that these two should be sculpting masterpieces of art, and not building burgers. But hey, I don't blame them for wanting to build a perfectly aligned, massive burger. 3 out of 4.
The Cheese: The cheese was yellow American, but perfectly melted between each patty releasing the ooey gooeyness within each patty and, in turn, within each bite. 2 out of 3.
The Sear: Each of the nine patty was made fresh from ground beef which was flattened into a patty on the grill before me. Each patty had a distinct sear, and a great texture. 2 out of 3.
Overall Taste: These are the tastes I experienced while biting into this burger. Ready? Here we go... Bread, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Meat, Grease, Cheese, Bread. Maybe a hint of lettuce and tomato. 2 out of 5.
