Grammar

slowly but surely

How would you write the following?

When I first had the 2 hamburgers, I like that one more but slowly but surely, I started liking the other one more.

How would you say? Would you change a few words?
If you would like to know which hamburger is better, you can't taste each one at separate times, you need to have all the burgers side by side and take a bite of each one after the other.

Thanks

The situation is implausible, because "slowly but surely" implies a length of time to provide the change. As a child, I hated most vegetables, but I tried to eat them. As an adult, I slowly but surely came to like most of them, after all (except red beets, Brussels sprouts and raw celery).
