Food enthusiasts in Alpine, Texas, were in for a delightful surprise as Bock Burger Takeaway unveiled its new Saturday Night Special pop-up event, featuring a tantalizing Moroccan-inspired dish that left taste buds tingling. The star of the show? Chermoula chicken, a flavorful blend of spices and herbs that transported diners to the vibrant streets of Morocco.
Bock Burger Takeaway, located at 601 E Avenue E, Alpine, TX, known for its delectable burgers, took a break from its regular menu to introduce this one-of-a-kind dining experience on the second Saturday of each month. The aim? To offer patrons simple, organic, quality, handmade meals that are a departure from their classic burger fare.
Chermoula, a marinade and sauce originating from Morocco, was the highlight of the evening. This zesty concoction consists of olive oil, lemon juice, fresh cilantro, chopped garlic, and paprika, all expertly combined to create a rich, herby, and spicy flavor profile. Born in Morocco, chermoula is a symphony of coriander, cumin, and fresh chilies, providing a delightful twist to Alpine’s culinary scene.
For a mere $18, diners were treated to a sumptuous plate of Chermoula chicken served with sourdough flatbread, broccolini, and a house salad. The dish garnered rave reviews from those fortunate enough to attend this exclusive culinary event.
One satisfied customer, who took to Bock Burger’s Facebook page after the pop-up, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm, stating, “The chicken is seasoned and cooked exquisitely. Profoundly. Great, great, great.”
Another diner shared their experience, noting, “Enough for one and a half servings. There is a LOT of chicken and we loved it. The chicken is seasoned exquisitely. Ditto the broccolini, which I would like a little more of (for two). Great, great, great. I added some leftover roasted carrots and a smidge of leftover quinoa, for us. Win, win.”
For those eager to savor the flavors of Morocco and indulge in Bock Burger’s Saturday Night Special, the next opportunity awaits on the second Saturday of the coming month. To place an order, simply call 432-294-4580.
