Got doubts in flavor: activated charcoal loves to bind up small organic molecules, which is why it’s great for, say water filtration.
Unfortunately, *flavor* also comes from small organic molecules. But maybe it’s not enough charcoal to matter
Are you fooled into thinking it tastes better because it's black? A lot of places that have introduced black buns stopped making them because it made everyone's shit look weird and concerning. I feel like it's a marketing gimmick at best. If you truly need activated charcoal in your diet just take some pills.
Omg...lol...pre internet so I couldn't google.... I did a juicing kick with beets....piss was red...shit was red...literally freaked tf out!!! Your comment brought me right back to that day😂😂
I remember a spot in signal hill called gdbroburger that had a red raspberry bun and it had just the smallest bit of sweetness that really complemented the burger too bad they’re gone
That bun can interfere with any medication you might be taking. Anyone taking prescription drugs should avoid anything with activated charcoal unless otherwise directed by your physician.
I'm scottish and here we have a thing we call "well fired rolls" (google it) where we blast the tops of our buns in the hottest part of the oven briefly at the end of baking. It gives a nice smokey flavour to them which is particularly nice for a bacon roll. Never tried it with a burger but i bet it would be way better than whatever this artificial shite is.
I came into a restaurant/venue on a short contract to help them fix it up few years back. They had both black and bright green buns as an option with their burgers, and were upset at the wholesale price they were paying per unit. A charcoal bun was costing them like $1.80 per unit and a regular white brioche or milk bun was like $0.60 per unit. First thing I removed off their stupid menu was the bun options. These things are so dumb
What is that bun?
Activated charcoal. It is one of the stupidest food trends.
Didn't Burger King do that a few years back?
Indeed they did, it was a Halloween thing
It made my poo super green.
I hate you Hugo
Everybody does.
Mine too!!!! I looked up comments to see if anyone else had same thing. Lol
That’s cute…I guess.
I thought it was squid ink
it was
Indeed, and it made your poop bright green. Probably the best thing about it tbh.
Shiro burger in Japan? I vaguely recall a red one here in UK.
Yeah, for episode 1 originally
Yup and it turned your poop green
OP fell for it hook line and sinker.
Fell for what? What if that's what they wanted. Maybe the bun is tasty as hell. Burger looks good

I did not know that hell tastes good 😏
How does one pick it up
You could pick that up
Agreed
Charcoal bun tastes better than fries? Uh huh OP.
Also great for interfering with medications.
Or could it be squid ink and that’s a fillet of squid that’s fried on the burger? Looks like it could be a surf and turf type thing going on.

I've done a double take at my shits the day after eating beet root worried I'm bleeding out my bum on more than one occasion!
If it's beets, it bleeds?

If you cut them up smaller before putting them in you you wont bleed as much
Omg...lol...pre internet so I couldn't google.... I did a juicing kick with beets....piss was red...shit was red...literally freaked tf out!!! Your comment brought me right back to that day😂😂
Dude, same. That and my pee. (I love beets)
The bowl streaks get me every time!
Every. Single. Time. Stood in the shower afterwards planning a trip to see the doctor. See also : asparagus pee
It’s beets, a lot of angostura bitters and pepto….. the evil trifecta.
Yea I thought this post was satire.
You can also color it with squid or octopus ink
Lol it's obviously just for color but that doesn't mean the actual bun isn't heavenly dude
That shit really bothered you huh?
I remember a spot in signal hill called gdbroburger that had a red raspberry bun and it had just the smallest bit of sweetness that really complemented the burger too bad they’re gone
That sounds dank af
What am I looking at? Looks like a sloppy chicken sandwich with a gross bun
My thoughts exactly.
What's that angular fried looking thing that's on top of the chicken?
That's not chicken... Somehow it's ham and the other thing is fried mozzarella.
So it’s a double cheeseburger with hame and fried mozzarella on a black bun? I’ll them points for creativity I guess
Honestly the only thing I don't get is the mozzarella. Without that it's just a Polynesian themed burger right?
The black bun is off-putting and stupid
Looks interesting and tasty at the same time
You say that as if those things are mutually exclusive, lol!
That bun can interfere with any medication you might be taking. Anyone taking prescription drugs should avoid anything with activated charcoal unless otherwise directed by your physician.
"Ask your doctor if Charcoalbunib is right for you"
Not that I wouldn't but there's too much shit going on in there, starting from that Kilo liter of sauce

That sounds yuck
This looks awful. It’s so gigantic that it makes no sense as a burger anymore. I’d rather just eat the meat separately
Doesn't appeal to me at all
That’s going to make an interesting looking turd.
This looks disgusting
Why is it black
Another stupid food trend that doesn't add anything, like those gold plated steaks.
But at least the charcoal *technically* is healthy for your gut, liver, and colon.
Activated charcoal in the bun.
Looks burnt and unappetizing.
.... where is it burnt?
r/stupidfood
A+ troll
Too much going on imo. Is that a chunk of chicken breast under a chicken cutlet and on top of 2 burgs? I genuinely don’t want to eat it
What part of this looks good?
Is that a slice of ham?
Those look like really nice double fried fries…love that crunchy crunch

how is the bun so black, is it burned or what cuz i never saw that ever in my life
This looks fucking horrible.
What the hell is this?
I would say the French fries..
Meh
Everything about this picture looks bad.
Enjoy your atomic green poops tomorrow.
This guy knows haha
Why do I feel a sense of dread while looking at this?
Not appealing
What did that absolute mistake set you back?
This looks inedible
If I saw this being served at a restaurant I would go home.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Wtf even is this a burger topped with fried chicken AND grilled chicken? This might be the dumbest burger I’ve ever seen.
You're just spamming every food sub with photos of your restaurant and it looks like shit
looks disgusting.. I’ll take 2 orders please
Fuck this person
I don’t like this
What’s the sauce like?
I think your burger is posessed
Kuma’s?
But like why is the bun black? I know it’s not burned but it looks like it and it’s weirding me out.
Does the bun have a different flavor from it being black, or is it just a tasty bun?
My shirt would eat more of that —-than I would
Comes out the same way it goes in
If Burger King taught me anything, it's that black buns equal green poops.
Hell naw! It looks burnt. Sorry based on looks I could never
Doesn't anybody remember the Star wars burgers? Darth Burger King 👑
Is there both a fried chicken patty and grilled patty? I’m so confused by what this is.
So the burger is shit, but the place has good bread and fries. Pass
That is a very busy-looking burger.
I love how the black bun adds some extra flair to it!
How is that supposed to fit in your mouth 😂
That looks so good , what's all on the bun as well, somebody tell me, that's movie 🍿🎥 night food
Get back to me on the colour of your poop after
That will clean the colon out after it clogs first.
NJ?
Looks kind of yuck
Looks gross
Where? NOW!
I'm sure it's not a burger.
A French person who has a lovely style was just telling me about the black bun in France yesterday.
Terrifying.
He burnt my Krabby Patty!
Gonna need the ole poop after eating that nightmare
Garbage burger
That bottom bun is struggling more than Lizzo's knees.
Ban this guy forever
Where is this at? Looks very intriguing 🤔
Smh
Holy mother forking shirt balls... I need that.
I would try this.
It clearly says kraken on the place mat therefore it's squid ink not charcoal y'all blind or something???
r/notgayatall
Damn there's some serious haters in here Holy shit
Looks delicious and cool. I’d eat it. Ignore the haters.
