A new burger eatery by the Theobroma lady packs a punch with meats, fries and everything in between
A cosy corner located on the ground floor of a skyscraper on the bustling Senapati Bapat Marg dotted with mills and towers, Three Chicks & A Bear lured us with its cute name and cheery vibe. Launched by the team behind Theobroma (which also shares space with the outlet), the spacious, high-ceiling-ed, white-and-blue eatery, with sunlight streaming in from its French windows, derives its name from Theo’s flagbearer, Kainaz Messman Harchandrai’s family.

As one of the first families to acquire a Maruti 800 car, Messman’s mother said that their father looked like a big bear trying to get into a dinky car. The name stuck on, while the three chicks represent Messman, her sister, Tina and her mother. “It was mom’s dream that we open a burger joint because all of us love burgers,” revealed the head chef, who has helmed the menu offering a wide range of burgers — with separate sections for tenderloin, chicken, pork, seafood and vegetarian — freakshakes along with appetisers, sharing plates and desserts. They are also awaiting the license to serve beer and wine.

Mac & Cheese comfort
Among the appetisers, we loved the Mac & Cheese (Rs 220), a version that turned the gooey comfort dish into deliciously crispy fritters, dusted with corn crust and served with a zingy homemade hot sauce. Meanwhile, the crunchy tempura-like Squid (Rs 250) scored due to the signature curry leaf and lemon mayo that accompanied it. And the Loaded Fries (Rs 250), generously interlacing stringy mozzarella and a tomato and basil sauce, made for a meal by itself.

A bite of the Israeli Salted Tenderloin (Rs 395) and a burst of flavours greeted us from the melt-in-your-mouth home cured salted tenderloin (carabeef) that complemented the tangy sauerkraut and gherkins. This was one of the best carabeef burgers we had tried in a while. Thai Pork Belly (Rs 400) packed in a punch with its Asian flavours seeping through the succulent meat cooked in a barbecue sauce. We washed it down with Yellow (Rs 210), a freakshake that infused flavours from Theo’s signature lemon tart and Red (Rs 240), which roped in the pattiserie’s famous Red Velvet cake in its pretty pink, thick concoction.
