    Supernatural Burgers offers high prices and quality food

    Supernatural+Burgers+offers+high+prices+and+quality+food

    Be honest. There aren’t many fast food places that offer a quality burger anymore. More often than not, they are burnt, too thin, or greasy. There aren’t many places that serve a real burger, cooked to perfection. But Supernatural Burgers, a food cart located at SW 9th and Washington in Portland does it with relish.

    Supernatural Burgers serves a variety of burgers (Hawaiian, Pepper, Peanut Butter, etc.), as well as hot dogs and chili. There are plenty of options. The prices, however, are not ideal. A regular hamburger costs $6.50, and additional toppings, such as cheese or bacon, are an additional 50 cents. As far as a value meal goes, Supernatural Burgers is a little pricy, but serves quality food, and that for many is worth the price. Supernatural Burgers offers some very unusual meals, like the peanut butter burger, but the plain cheeseburger isn’t too far from what most are used to.

    Supernatural Burgers wins you over with its friendly service. The two workers were both very friendly, not to mention patient. However, one downside to the small staff is the wait time. On a busy day, they will still promise a five minute wait, but that quickly turns into ten minutes. Another downside was the small drink selection; the only options were canned juice.

    These cons were quickly forgotten when the warm food arrived. Really, it’s a lot of food. If the order included fries, they load your box with fries, similar to Five Guys, leaving a scarce amount of room left for the burger. The fries are skinny and just about what you would expect; heavily seasoned and salted, crispy and not greasy. For an additional $2, the fries are enough to qualify as a meal itself.

    Every burger is one-third of a pound and cooked between medium and medium well, leaving plenty of juice in the meat. Each burger also comes with traditional burger toppings: fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles (sour pickles, not sweet). Finally, the bun was lightly toasted and a little cheesy. Once you pick up the burger, it is hard to put it back down.

    When I first ordered at Supernatural Burgers, I was expecting to give it only three out of five stars, mostly due to the prices. However, the quality of the food made me change my mind. Overall, I would give it four out of five stars. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who spends their lunch hours in Portland, as long as they aren’t on a strict budget. If you have never had the experience of eating at one of Portland’s food carts, Supernatural Burgers is definitely a good place to start. It is open at lunch hours on weekdays.

    Christian Marvin, Athletics Co-Editor

    He aims, he shoots, he scores - basketball is one of many activities that Christian Marvin, junior and Athletics Editor, has an affinity for. In fact, a life full of friends, church and sports is one that he leads daily. With his hands full of engaging activities, in and out of school, Marvin looks forward to an exciting year.

    This school year, Marvin has a full schedule on his hands. Physics is his favorite class because it is less rigorous than a handful of his other AP and Honors classes. He enjoys being on Amplifier because he “likes to write and there’s always something to do”.

    Though he does not know exactly what path to take in the future, he does know that he wants to try his best in high school and start from there.

    “I’m really want to get good grades this year, especially because I’m taking some hard classes,” Marvin said. “I also want to be more involved in service projects too.” At home, Marvin prefers to eat, relax and then do homework. He and his sister have two fish: Marvin’s is Flo, and his sister’s is King Triton. Despite his busy schedule, Marvin always finds time to spend for himself and with his family. Marvin enjoys eating chicken alfredo and drinking root beer and Dr. Pepper as well.

    Out of school and home, Marvin is an avid participator in his church. Every Sunday, he teaches kindergarten at church, and attends youth group every Wednesday. In addition, Marvin also goes to Night Strike, a program in which he feeds homeless in downtown Portland.

    “I like getting to play with the kids and teaching them,” Marvin said. “The kids are really fun and I like getting to know them.”

    As for the sports aspect of his life, Marvin plays basketball. He prefers not to play on a school basketball team, but rather plays for enjoyment. Marvin’s specialty is shooting half-court shots and dunking on a ten foot net. He enjoys playing with friends because it is more fun, and there is a friendly competition.

    Marvin hopes to complete his junior year and enjoy his last year in high school. He believes that can get through his high school life with the help of his family and friends. In all aspects of his life, he hopes to be successful and take the next step of his life.
