Kiko and I had out first Ostrich burger and it was a big disappointment. We had it at 'Y' Not Burger, a small mom and pop burger joint in Torrance, Ca. Initially, we were just craving cheese burgers, but when we saw Ostrich burger on the menu, we felt a little adventurous and immediately changed our minds.
Will it taste like chicken, beef or what? We were a bit anxious as we waited for our orders to come. Once we got our food, we took a bite, had a sip of water and coke, a minute of weird silence, then looked at each other and both made a face O_o. The burger was really nasty. It tasted like a really bad hamburger. The meat was very tough and no flavor at all. The mayo and other fixings didn't even help to boost the flavor. I don't know much about game meats, but I thought it would have been better if they put salt or seasoning or some type of creative sauce in the burger to really disguise the gaminess of the meat. Bad burger...Never again!
The only good thing about the meal were the french fries. It was hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I almost ate them all.

I'm sure they have good food because they had traffic going in and out of the restaurant. But Kiko was convinced that we shouldn't come here agin...ever! I agree ^_^

If you want the solid mouthwatering taste of a hometown burger, please visit Y'Not. There is a reason they won awards for both 2010 and 2011. Real fans await the revival of the glorious Y'Not Ostrich burger with dollars in-hand.
