z-layrex Posted 15 January 2015 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.
foxoffderby Posted 15 January 2015 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.
Ric Flair Posted 15 January 2015 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.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 January 2015 Posted 15 January 2015 If any of you are in London, my favourite place is Honest burger in Camden Locke. Yeah about eight of us have mentioned it KEEP UP SAN

Itsthejoeker Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 Are you sure? Here’s a breakdown to help wrap your brain around the 1,375,000-calorie meat monstrosity: 3 feet thick and 5 feet in diameter More than 600 pounds of beef (about the size of a small cow) 30 pounds of lettuce 12 pounds of pickles 20 pounds of onions 28-inch thick, 110-pound bun
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 the biggest burger iv seen How can you be certain that's not just a very small man?
Bluefoxtim Posted 16 January 2015 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
goose2010 Posted 16 January 2015 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/
VLC86 Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 Are you sure? I see GTF is wearing his finest hat.
separator Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 Just noticed that Marco Pierre White is opening an Italian-American restaurant in the Mercure hotel on Granby St. Will do pizza, pasta, hot dogs & burgers (at extortionate prices no doubt). http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Celebrity-chef-Marco-Pierre-White-open-new/story-25854344-detail/story.html

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.
Kinowe Soorie Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 The Handmade Burger Company is great it is shit
lavrentis Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Marco Pierre White? Lost all cooking respect when he endorses Knorr beef stock pots
GingerrrFox Posted 18 January 2015 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.

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.
Mike Oxlong Posted 19 January 2015 Posted 19 January 2015 Anyone been to the 5 Guys place in Birmingham? Working there at the moment and thought I might give it a try.
