Let’s face it, the original Ghostbusters was a classic, the remake sadly looks like an apparition that only the original team can dispose of. I ain’t afraid of no ghosts but I am afraid on this. Anyway I digress, or do I? It seems that large proportions of the internet seem to share my opinion of the new film. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not the fact they are female, it’s just the cast, the director, heck even the soundtrack, which features one of my favourite bands Fall Out Boy has won me over.
But this, this has me interested!!
Japanese restaurant chain, J.S. Burgers Cafe, has created a Ghostbusters themed menu, that it will run between July 1st to September 30th to coincide with the release of Paul Feig’s upcoming reboot.
Well how can a menu be Ghostbusters themed I hear you ask? Will the food attack me? Will it become demonically possessed and try to eat me? Well luckily no, instead we will be treated with the chance to munch on ‘Black Chilli Chips‘. Is that a fancy word for burnt chips? (google searches the chips, ok they’re not burnt!) It’s basically some crisps (for us Brits) with sour cream, salsa and chilli that’s black. I gotta admit the black chilli, does look kinda demonic, I’m gunna eat it before it eats me!
Once you’ve tackled these chips, it’s then on to the main course the ‘G.B Burger‘. This impressive burger includes purple cabbage and a black olive and anchovy paste.It truly looks like a burger Satan would eat himself. The only thing I’m scared of is this reminds ome of the ‘Halloween Burger‘, Burger King did with a black bun, that turned your poo, neon green! Don’t believe me google it. Oooooook
To wash that taste out your mouth you’re going to need a ‘Slimer Smoothie‘, this is perhaps the most normal item on the menu, oh wait it’s a kiwi-flavored drink topped with burger shaped candy. It also reminds you of ectoplasm, now as a massive ghostbusters fan, I’d love to be slimed, but would I like to drink it? Hmmm
If you’ve conquered all these ghosts, I mean meals, then prepare to face the ultimate challenge, the ‘Marshmallow Mad Burger‘. It looks kinda like something that Stay Puft would have pooped out. This truly ‘mad burger’ features roasted giant roasted mashmallows (poor Stay Puft) stuffed with Oreos and a red jam-like sauce dripping from the top of the bun.
This meal will divide opinions like the new film. but I’d be up for tackling this burger. Is it bad that as a massive Ghostbusters fan, this meal excites me far more than the film?
Interested? You can sample this at J.S. Burger Cafe outlets at the Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku and Ikebukuro stores.
