GastroAdvent#5: Zark's Burgers.. Attack!


So, yeah.. we were hungry.. I thought we might be able to locate Bon Chon in Taft but ended up in Zark's Burgers.. and I sure am glad I did.

My BF and I were already famished from the long walk from CCP to Taft ave courtesy of the Vito Cruz traffic jam, plus the whole day church and Pasinaya activity. As dinner time closed in, we were already up for a heavy meal. We decided to eat at Bon Chon which I thought was just along Taft Ave (DLSU area) but after a few minutes of walking, we were unable to find the resto and stumbled on Zark's instead. I've heard about Zark's from my friends who've been raving about the Jaw Breake. And so the equation of choosing Zark's came about. Curiosity + hunger + 8pm = Zark's.

 Zark's menu offers various steaks, ribs, rice meals, sandwiches, desserts, dips and of course burgers! This started all the Zark's buzz. They tapped the person's inability to resist a huge mouthwatering and seemingly impossible to finish burger, and rewarding their talent of giving the burger they've just devoured for free if they accept the challenge of eating the Jaw Breaker under 5min.

For the hard core food athletes, the Tomb Stone burger is their best bet as it comes with your face sticking in their Wall of Fame and free t-shirt plus the bragging rights if consumed in 10 minutes.

But since I try not to eat meat, pork and chicken, I contented myself with their TKO fish sandwich made from cream dory served with fries while my BF, who was not yet prepared for the challenge ordered Zark's ultimate burger instead. 
Zark's Ultimate Burger @PHP130.00
 With bottomless iced tea for him, water for me and UFC channel in the background, the total expense was less than 300PHP (price as of 2 Mar 2012).

For those who wanted to take on the Zark's challenge, their store is located at 2464 Archer's Nook, Malate, Manila (In front of LA Salle Taft, same building where Yellow Cab is). 


And here's their FB account for those curious minds :D
