Now y’ all be intimate we love a petty favorable competition — and this Meleagris gallopavo burger conflict did not disappoint . From Malicia ’s “ le - tters ” and American high mallow baby to Stacie ’s curry fusion with a whole lotta heart ( but not enough flavor ) , the girls come ready to throw down in the kitchen .
Turkey Burgers, Shade, And Lots Of Love: Let’s Get Into This Turkey Burger Showdown
Today , it ’s all about that turkey meat , baby !
Cocoa Butter is back with a fresh , gamy episode of “ People Try Each Other ’s ” — where three bold contestants step up to the orange wall and put their turkey Warren E. Burger skills to the ultimate tasting run .
This time around , we ’ve got Stacie , Malicia , and Alexandria in the building — pulling up and show out with their best Warren E. Burger creation , each one hoping to serve something unforgettable ( and possibly humble their adversary in the operation ) .
Now me ? I usually rout for the one who ’s not doing the absolute most . A little humbleness and a lot of feeling go a farseeing way . So from the parachuting , I was vibing with Stacie . Her energy felt right — and good energy usually stand for in effect nutrient .
So we kicked thing off with Alexandria ’s boldly named “ Yo Daddy ’s ” turkey burger . And listen — she had me at cheese - stuffed cake . Pepper jack and American cheese disappear inside the meat ? Yeah … I was locked in before the first chew .
Now the Mexican street corn ? That was … an interesting gimmick . It remind me of a admixture between murphy salad and macaroni salad — unexpected , but not mad at it . Honestly , with ingredients like Cajun flavoring , off-key emollient , chili gunpowder , mayo , and cilantro ? That sounds like a whole flavor role I ’d wanna keep draw up to .
Here ’s where Alexandria sort of lose me though — the presentation . What she showed us when explaining her looker vs. what she actually plated for the girls had me like … fille , now you recognise . It was giving was Easy - Bake oven annoyer . No shade .
The lettuce was just too magnanimous under the bun — like sister , where is the kernel ? I ’ve never been a fan of the topping outshining the cake , but you know what ? We ball .
Malicia and Stacie need their bites after a little pre - crippled analytic thinking and some wanton shade ( mostly from Malicia — but honestly , a little shade just make it more fun ) . Both noblewoman hear the beefburger and gave Alexandria her props — the seasonings were hittin ’ . Malicia gift it a 7 and even threw a lil ’ nod to the corn , while Stacie gave it an 8 . That put Alexandria at a satisfying 15 points to get down .
Next up — Malicia ’s turkey burger .
Now Malicia ? Came in swing out . She was talkin ’ big from the jump — already take triumph and letting it be known that her turkey burger was not one to play with .
She walk us through her prep : seasoned her patties the night before with red onion plant , saltiness , black pepper , and garlic powder and letting it marinade overnight to really lock in that juicy , sapid vibe we ’re always chase after over here at Cocoa Butter .
Because one thing about us ? We ’re gon na mollify our food , baby . And if you do n’t ? Best believe we will utter about you . Respectfully .
Something that did bewilder out — and had me cracking up — was how Malicia pronounced “ boodle . ” Sis say , “ I have my le - tters , ” and proudly threw in her American cheese , baby . orthoepy aside , the turkey hamburger actually reckon good , and she topped that thang off with some bacon too . A classical move .
She definitely stand out , not just with sapidity but with presentation — clearly into visual aesthetic . She had the mayonnaise and catsup on the side in slip you needed a little dip with your bite , plus a turn of garnish to give the meal that extra “ oomf . ” We eff a little flair !
Now , I do n’t know where Malicia is from precisely , but that emphasis screamsNew York . And as a aboriginal myself , I can confirm : we are very competitive and take our passions ( and being on top ) very badly .
When the ladies bit into Malicia ’s turkey hamburger , you could see they were impressed . Alexandria even holler the plating “ well thought out . ” They had no shade for the hamburger — at least not immediately . Alexandria finally let in the meat was a bit dry , while Stacie wanted more of a kick , like a “ hot pepper sauce from Trinidad . ”
Still , both were slaked . Stacie kick in it a 10 , and Alexandria mark it a 7.2 , saying it ’s hard to perfect a turkey burger — which , facts . That put Malicia in the booster cable with a potent 17.2 points .
Now it ’s our sweet , humble queen Stacie ’s turn .
And sister … sometimes the underdog is the underdog for a reason .
Stacie rack up up a Caribbean and French - inspired joker beefburger . We ’re talking a brioche bun , Jamaican curry integrate into the meat , butter kale , grill onions , Gruyère high mallow , and an aioli sauce with Bertie ’s live pepper for that island spicery she was talking about to begin with .
But here ’s the kicker : Stacie did not try all the component together beforehand . So even she did n’t get laid what her Warren Earl Burger taste like .
Stacie … how you total to the competition and ai n’t even sample your own meekness ?
Lord , lease us pray .
She say a fortune of love conk into the repast — and I conceive her — but unfortunately , the love did n’t translate to her adversary .
Visually , the burger looked solid to both Malicia and Alexandria . But after the first bite ? Whew . Downhill .
Malicia said the burger “ was n’t flavor the greatest , ” and Alexandria just straight up say , “ It ’s not for me . ” really , she lead off , saying the meat was “ moldy , ” “ street - like , ” and compare it to “ raccoon sum . ” Yeah … she took it there . Malicia try out to soften the blow by saying the grilled onions were good , bless her .
Final scores ? Malicia reach it a 5.5 , wanting more flavour . Alexandria have it a 7 , hoping for some classic fixings like tomato or lettuce to equilibrise out the cake . That forget Stacie with a 12.5 .
BUT — plot twist . The competition is n’t over yet .
Because who walks in ? None other than Miss Quad , honey . And she did n’t come alone — she bring her human being , King , to sample the turkey burgers too .
King forthwith allow us live that Quad makes burgers all the metre , so he hump what a real one is supposed to taste like .
First up was Alexandria ’s hamburger . Quad was already unimpressed visually , call it unappetizing and holding up the warm tomato plant and that freehanded ol’ bib lettuce like , “ What is this ? ” She also pointed out that the bun looked tough .
After take a sting , Quad say it was n’t that bad … but King travel along up with , “ It ’s not good either . ” Oop . Then Quad hit us with the substantial concern : Was this even fix all the way ? Camera zooms in on the pink . The room gets restrained .
They afford Alexandria a 5 .
( Also , Quad whispered another score to King off - camera , so … we may need to observe up next time she ’s in the studio . )
Next up : Stacie ’s burger . Quad come in with facts — you got ta flow folk through the heart — and regrettably , this Warren E. Burger was n’t giving what it needed to give . Same review article : not “ appetizing . ”
They took one bite … and spit that baby food out immediately . Quad said the meat tasted like it was “ soaked in onion succus . ” Yikes . Stacie get a 3 .
Finally — Malicia ’s collection plate .
Quad ’s face lit up . It look good . She loved the thoughtful touch of the mayo and tomato ketchup on the side . Her only review ? Malicia used two bottom buns ( and no , not those variety of tail ) . But outside of that , both Quad and King were quenched . They gave her a solid 7 — seal the win .
If you savour this little commentary , you might as well see how it all played out below . Go ahead and tick below — and allow us know if you agree with Miss Quad .
