Kinowe Soorie Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Burgers at Le Bistrot Pierre ain't bad... comes with fries.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Burger, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Bacon, Cheese, 3 different sauces on a brioche bun. Absolute heaven - Can't beat Reds BBQ in Leeds. You most definitely can beat it - Reds is absolute guff, the most over rated place in the city.
Guest ttfn Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Dunno if it's still open but there was a Jamie Oliver pop up called Jamie's Diner at Piccadilly Circus. I had a burger topped with pulled pork there that nearly achieved meat perfection.
LcFc_Smiv Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 http://georgesrestaurant.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/GeorgesMenu.pdf I had most burgers off that menu when I was in Texas, smokehouse burger was possibly the best!
sdb Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Fergburger in Queenstown, New Zealand is the one. yep think that's the best i've ever had
lavrentis Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Just because a burger is stacked really high doesn't make it amazing. Less is more with a burger, keep it simple and don't overload with flavours/sauces.
Finnegan Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 I'm a borderline Byron addict. Been loads since they released the Holy Cheesemas. It's cheaper (I think?) than Handmade Burger, Coast to Coast and Frankie n Benny's and is infinitely nicer than all of them (although maybe not difficult.) Probably my favourite burger in Leicester. Do like a bit of Spanky van Dyke's in Nottingham.
Saxondale Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Byron. Not been to the Leicester one yet but I went to their Cambridge branch a few years ago and it was insanely good.
absolutelegend Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 I've never had a burger out as good as the ones I make at home on my bbq simple is the way forward - cheese only.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 I had the Jack Daniels BBQ one at TGI's recently in Manchester. It was incredible. I wept.

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Just because a burger is stacked really high doesn't make it amazing. Less is more with a burger, keep it simple and don't overload with flavours/sauces. Generally speaking, I'd say you're right. A huge dollop of barbeque/other sauce (as tasty as it can be) overpowers any flavour in the meat, and you might as well just have the bread and barbecue sauce. However cheese almost always improves a burger, crispy bacon and/or onion rings are usually welcome too, so long as the burger is thick and grilled enough that it's still the main flavour. If it's barbecued or properly grilled, I don't bother with anything besides cheese and maybe ketchup. Going the other way from the topic, the missus had the Pulled Chicken burger recently from KFC and after a colleague had bigged it up as the best burger around, I was amazed that KFC could put something so bland out. It tasted almost solely of carrots and watered down barbecue sauce. The pulled chicken itself was pointless and had none of good properties of pulled pork. That thing will be pulled (badumtish) from the menu in no time.
ScouseFox Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 gonna make my own burgers tomorrow night after work i reckon, inspired by this thread. anyone got any must dos? all i know is it will definitely include a burger, some cheese, some bacon and some chillies/chilli powder/chilli sauce. can't wait.

Perfect the burger itself. Get fatty mince or even chuck steak, anything lean will lack moisture and your patty will dry out and crumble. Don't forget to add an egg to bind it all together. If you have a frier, top it with some onion straws; fried onions soaked in milk then dipped in flour and seasoning.
Bayfox Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 you lost me at courgette. wtf the most rancid veg on planet earth.

Definitely recommend mixing in a bit of fresh chilli, season as you like and probably add a pinch of sugar too - brings out the beef flavour well. Let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before you cookI like the Morrison's New York burgers, which have gherkin, Monterey Jack and onion mixed in - gonna try making my own when barbecue season commences

walkerleeds Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 9:44am and I don't think I've ever wanted a burger more in my life.
kingcarr21 Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 The burger i always remember is the baconator at Wendy's. After 2 weeks of shit food in Dom Rep the airport on the way home had a wendy's. Best meal i had all holiday. 2nd time i went Dom Rep was to get married and was really looking forward to having that burger again on the way home. (Think i was more excited about the burger than getting married haha)
Darkon84 Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 How the hell didn't I know there was a Byron in Leicester. Just shows how rarely I venture in to the city centre these day. Mark my words, that place is going to get raided!
Guest MattP Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Not really a burger fan but the five guys place seemed very decent when I had one. Although I get called weird when I eat a burger as I only eat it with bacon on and with a knife and fork.
MooseBreath Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 For me a burger is all about simplicity. A soft bun, some nice salad and sauce and a good quality patty with the right amount of cheese properly melted. Anything else is just hipster crap. I had an expensive burger from one of these places once and it came with a crispy bun that rained flakes all over my plate. Disgusting. Those burgers that are more than two inches high, makes it inedible so what's the point? I conclude that burgers are the starbucks of food, popular with hipsters but lacking any real taste, class or sophistication. Happy to be proven wrong of course as always.
AndWhat? Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 The best burger I have ever had was a Wendy's from Seattle airport. Was the only burger I had in the 3 weeks I was over in the US and Canada so no idea if they are all that amazing or I got lucky!
