I have recently learned that there are foods that would speed up weight gain for a certain blood type. In my case (Type B), it’s pork, chicken, and shell fish and some vegetables. So the only thing I can eat if I don’t want to lose weight are beneficial foods such as beef, goat, lamb, mutton, rabbit and venison. Among those meats, beef is the least expensive of all. The rest will cost me a lot of dough.
SO after learning from my cousin via text that
the dinner prepared at home was pork adobo, I knew I had to eat out. So I was
thinking: BEEF. I don’t want to eat something that will make me fat.
Since it’s
been ages since I last ate a really good burger, I decided to go to Gino’s Boom
Burgers since I wanted to try eating in their new branch near Torres St.
 |
| Torres branch. Other branches are located in Ecoland, Bajada, and near Sta. Ana Church (original branch). |
The last time I ate a Gino’s
burger was in their first branch, which was not really the best-looking burger
joint I’ve been to. It was a humble establishment, it was not air-conditioned,
and the chairs and tables were a bit old. But when I took a bite of that huge
western burger, I forgot to bother about how the place looked like. No wonder
it was always packed with people. From that day on, I vowed to go back to
Gino’s for another taste of that sumptuous meal-in-a-bun.
That was
more than a year ago, and it was only last night that I was able to keep that
promise.
They have a
wide variety of burgers to choose from and I’ve always wanted to try most of
them. But last night I just wanted to rekindle that first moment I ate a Gino’s
burger, so I ordered once again, The Western Burger.
When my
order arrived, I did not have any regrets. Between the buns was a stack of
three onion rings topped with barbecue sauce. The onion pyramid rested on top
of a cheese-covered char-grilled beef patty with lettuce and tomatoes
underneath. And when I took that first bite, I was transported to that orally orgasmic
moment in the past. And a delicious sensation was exploding in my mouth once
again.

I finished
chowing down my burger in a few minutes, dropping some relishes occasionally. But that’s what I love about these burgers,
because the messier you eat, the tastier the burger becomes.
I finished
my meal by chugging down a can of ice-cold Coke. Then I felt bloated and
slightly guilty for eating too much. But I still have faith in that Blood
Type Diet which tells me that I wouldn’t gain much weight from eating that
sumptuous beef burger.
Well, OK fine, I did run this
morning just to be sure. But it was worth it.
