sidewinder Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Heading to Byron tonight to try one of their Big B's which are apparently amazing. Wasn't bowled over by their standard burgers but this should be good. Also go to Dirty Burger in Kentish Town quite often which is a great little shack at the back of a pizza place. And have tried Meat Liquor & Market. No others so far, but will definitely check out Five Guys soon
Modey Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Find a Marstons pub, and grab yourself a Monster Rodeo Burger. He should also point out that you may not be able to move for a few hours after one of those. I'm pretty sure they come with a govt health warning also, awesome!
rickjames Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Dirty Burger are great, an absolute filthy mess. Byron are the Pizza Express of burgers, pass.
LosOjos Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Byron are the Pizza Express of burgers, pass. What's wrong with Pizza Express?! As pizza chain restaurants go, I think they're pretty good...
sidewinder Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Dirty Burger are great, an absolute filthy mess. Byron are the Pizza Express of burgers, pass. Harsh, I'd say that title belongs to Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Byron arn't mindblowing but they at least know how to make a decent burger
Pyroman Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 @Pyroman more BBQ food for you then True, just need to find something for little miss picky to eat!
AJWhite1970 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The Night Owl between Bournemouth and Poole. It might look like a hole in the wall but trust me, mushroom double cheese is the best burger I've ever had. Just don't drink the coffee.....
happymeal Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I popped into Henry J Bean's at the Printworks yesterday and ordered a Chilli Burger, thinking it was just a slab of meat, spicy sauce, onion rings, and chips. What I got...was a huge burger, with chilli, topped with spicy cheese, followed by onion rings, with chips. Even the birth of my children won't compare to the joy it brought me. /sniff
TechMonkey Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 If you are in Brighton for a visit most definitely go visit Brighton Burger. Hand made burgers with various fillings, a posh menu with things like Boar, Vension and buffalo and specials depending on what delicacies he can get his hands on. Currently it is Wasabi Buffalo. Lovely meal deal as well about the same if not cheaper than McDs Disclaimer - A friend runs it but as you can see by the reviews it is jolly nice 2

Byron arn't mindblowing but they at least know how to make a decent burger For London based burger joints, the rest I've mentioned floor them. Patty and Bun's bacon cheeseburger is wonderful.
tmcd35 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Here in sunny Norfolk we have "Casey's" who do the "gutbuster" - 4x 12oz burgers in a bap with cheese and bacon...mmm..mmmm.mmm
kearton Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 NZ Motto: It's not a real burger unless it's got beetroot and an egg in it! Gourmet Burger Kitchen Kiwiburger (a UK chain started by a Kiwi I believe?) (You also used to be able to get a Kiwiburger in McD's in NZ... not sure if you can anymore?) 1
LosOjos Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I'm getting a bit jealous of all this talk of burgers - anyone know a good place in/around Birmingham? The OK Diner near Cannock used to be great but I haven't been there in years...
kearton Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The Flaming Grill pub chains do a "Flaming Challenge Burger" which is a MASSIVE burger for £10 if you're really really hungry. It's almost 'Man vs Food' challenge worthy...
sidewinder Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 For London based burger joints, the rest I've mentioned floor them. Patty and Bun's bacon cheeseburger is wonderful. Patty and Bun does look very, very good. May well make that my next one

The OK Diner near Cannock used to be great but I haven't been there in years... Never been here but this looks like a heart stopper, if your heart is still functioning however why not try their krispy kremeburger? http://smokeys-joint.com/ Hickory's smoke house chester: http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/81/e3/f7/xxxl-burger-amazing.jpg Oh why not have a 'share' platter to start? http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/a6/11/01/filename-img-20120422.jpg Edited July 5, 2013 by bondbill2k2 2
ADMaster Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I’ve not heard of either of these places so I had to look them up. One doesn’t have any location in my state, and the other only has them in the big cities and malls, which I avoid. We get our burgers from the local restaurant supplier, they call them sirloin or chopped steak burgers. Grilled some last night with cheese and mushroom yum
LosOjos Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I can't for the life of me remember where I had it, I'm sure it was just some big chain pub, but recently I had a rib eye burger - minced rib eye patties. That was incredibly tasty!
rickjames Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Also I've never been into this whole massive burger thing as per one of the recent photos; often they just seem to compromise quality for quantity.
the_one_that_cant Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Beginning of June started with this: I have now moved on to this: Just got myself a double sided cast iron griddle plate (plain one side and grooved the other). Going to experiment in making some Schwarma meat kebabs, got a great little recipe to try. Edited July 5, 2013 by the_one_that_cant
dhicks Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Burgers are rubbish. Sausages are the best. Street Kitchen, who make "gourmet" hot dogs, have just taken over the catering at The Miller near London Bridge. Seemingly very good hotdogs and, handily, where I'm doing the sound and lights for a comedy show next Saturday - hotdogs, beer and entertainment all in one place!
featured_spectre Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Beginning of June started with this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]19273[/ATTACH] I have now moved on to this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]19276[/ATTACH] Just got myself a double sided cast iron griddle plate (plain one side and grooved the other). Going to experiment in making some Schwarma meat kebabs, got a great little recipe to try. They look lovely, however we moved from a Gas to a coal one, don't know why but you seem to get a better taste from coal. Also sold the gas one for £300, and got the coal one for £20. Will be looking at making my own smoker as well as smoked venison burgers are just the best! 1
