z-layrex Posted 15 January 2015 Share Posted 15 January 2015 Call me a pleb if you like but BK's Bacon double whooper cheese burger is the finest I've tasted. I love a BK as much as the next guy, but that seriously cannot be the best burger you ever tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxoffderby Posted 15 January 2015 Share Posted 15 January 2015 Anywhere else in sheepland you would recommend? I would love to recommend a place but can't really think of anywhere which is outstanding. I keep comparing any burger establishment to an Honest burger in London nothing can compete. Maybe you might like the Forge. Anybody who goes to London at some point must go to Honest there are a few of the them. I went to the one near St Pancaras Station. They use a patty of the highest quality and the bun is so soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 15 January 2015 Share Posted 15 January 2015 Hudson's in Cape Town is sensational if anyone's ever in the area. Ice cold lager and a burger for about £4, I stayed in there about 5 hours and got bollocksed. Also Mel's in Earlsfield, South West London is an absolute hidden gem.

Bluefoxtim Posted 16 January 2015 Share Posted 16 January 2015 Went to Byron's the other day. Was a little disappointed. Came to £45 for two of us Five Guys is my favourite. Good value and much better quality than Mcdo, BK etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 16 January 2015 Share Posted 16 January 2015 The onion rings in Byron are incredible! Any one been to shake shack in Covent Garden? heard its delightful! Also anyone that's been to Vegas must of seen 'the heart attack grill' on fremont street, that place is something else you get your meal for free if you are over 350lbs you get weighed when you go in! http://www.heartattackgrill.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of a high class steak restaurant like in Nottingham that we are gagging for in Leicester we get a glorified fast food venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 18 January 2015 Share Posted 18 January 2015 I tried the Flaming burger from Byron tonight. Very tasty, spicy but not too overpowering, you can make it hotter as they have their new own brand hot sauce on the table. Also tried the Oreo-Malted milkshake which sorted out my sweet tooth. Easily the best burger you can get in Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ or Oven Cook GTFI You want a cut of meat with more than 10% fat. If you get a good quality meat that is freshly minced then you don't need any egg or breadcrumbs to help bind it. Simply 160g of minced steak, I use chuck steak and rib eye minced from the butchers as a blend. It has a good amount of fat. Use a lot of salt on both sides of the patty to form a good crust and some course black pepper. That is all you ever need for the burger itself. Then go mad on making some condiments and sides for it. I've been making bacon chilli jam for the past year and it's immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
