"Seoul Mate" - PEI Burger Love 2016 - Part 5

* Stop #5 of my 2016 Burger Love adventure.

We decided to take the trek west on Friday night to try out the "Seoul Mate" at The Landing in Tyne Valley. 

It's a great little pub set in the heart of the tiny village, great spot for a meal or to hang out with friends over a pint and listen to some live music on the weekend. 

The Seoul Mate consisted of a 6oz Island Beef Patty, Bacon, Old White Cheddar, Grilled House-made Kimchi, Spicy Korean Aioli, Arugula, Korean BBQ Sauce, and Crunchy Asian Noodles on a Poppy & Sesame Seed Bun, garnished with Tomato and Carrot Stick.

Wasn't sure what to expect going in with the fusion of different flavours that I hadn't had before but with all the burgers I go in with an open mind. Plus when I see the word "spicy" I get a little nervous since I'm not a big fan of hot/spicy foods. This one did have a pretty good amount of heat, but it wasn't overwhelming.

If you like a burger with a little kick this one is likely for you.

"Localvore" - PEI Burger Love - Part 6

* Stop #6 of my Burger Love adventure.

For this burger we travelled about 20 minutes west of Summerside to "The Landing" in Tyne Valley.

The "Localvore" consisted of 6oz. Island beef, caramelized bacon jam, fresh red onion, potato rapure cake, lightly grilled smoked ham slice, cheddar, and iceberg lettuce on a homemade french biscuit, garnished with a yellow cherry tomato.

The burger was well cooked and the homemade bun was fresh. I also liked the potato cake although it would have been nice if it was a little bigger.

I was disappointed that the cheese used appeared to be a Kraft single and there was very little bacon jam on the burger because no one I know ever said, "That was too much bacon".

Not a bad burger but nothing really jumped out as special.
