Sonic Drive-In. Ferndale, Wa.

Day 1

Originally, we had planned on focusing on local, or at least regional burger options for review.

However, after being selected for secondary screening at the border and spending a couple of hours standing in line and having our stuff rifled through, we were hangry.

In my mind, Sonic seemed like a reasonable choice, drive-in, huge milkshakes, Americana, the whole bit. To be honest, the drive-in thing made me uncomfortable, it just seemed awkward. Why should I eat a burger in my lap while risking getting food all over my vehicle instead of eating at a table like any other normal civilized human?

We ordered a SONIC Cheeseburger each through the weird drive-in intercom.

Review

Bun: 

The bun was a plain white, Wonder-Bready thing, nothing special.

Patty:

The Patty was dry and flavourless, grey meat.

Cheese:

Processed crap.

Sauce:

This was weird. Every bite seemed to be different, there were some with no sauce, some with pure mustard, and some with a mayo/ketchup mixture. Super inconsistent and the bites without any sauce combined with the Wonder bun and dry meat ended up being nasty dry.

Vegetables:

Wilted shredded iceberg, flavourless tomato slice, no bueno.

Rating 3/10
