Looks like Thunder Burger won't be serving up lion after all.
After receiving flack from animal groups last week, the Georgetown burger joint issued a statement on their Facebook page today stating they won't be serving any cat-, dog- or horse-related animals.  "Simply put, we will NOT serve any animal that is feline, canine or equine," it says.
Whew. Can't say we were looking forward to a horse burger.
The spot's new "Wild Wednesday" promotion, featuring a different wild-game dish each week, kicked-off two weeks ago with alligator ribs and then followed up with ostrich burgers last week.
For tomorrow's special, they've got kangaroo sliders with a teriyaki glaze on tap. We've yet to experience the taste of the marsupial, but Thunder Burger GM Ryan Wolfe told us it's a lean but tender meat with a flavor "somewhere between ostrich and venison." Â He also said it pairs great with a DC Brau Corruption IPA.
Giiddyup.
