That burger looks great but french beans on the side? Naw thanks

Just got back from my second Five Guys. Do you know what, ignoring the price I think it's great. I totally forgot they were all double burgers as standard too. As long as you don't go in expecting a 'gourmet' burger then there's no reason to dislike it.

Also, there's a Shake Shack opening round the corner. I will have Five Guys, Byron, Flat Iron and now Shake Shack all within 5mins walk of my work. And Honest Burger is only a bit further. Eek :eek:

had my first Five Guys (wait, wut) last week. Nice burger, no doubt, however expensive for what it is; read: Burger King.

i had the little cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard and spicy fries

Lol fries is fries, thought I try something different and that too was sprinkled with rock salt. I did try's couple of fries in that place, was good, not turn my world upside down good but better than most.

When I Sweden I noticed that it was pretty normal to have much more salt in pretty much all the food compared to over here.

I had this as the first meal in the first day, the noodles and the dumplings.

Then followed with 1.5L of water an hour later and then not needing to pee...it didn't taste that salty at the time!

That sounds about right. I drink a lot of water anyway but during my time there I was absolutely parched pretty much 24/7 :eek:

I had a brie and bacon burger at Cattle Grid in Balham on Saturday night. Very tasty it was too.

The burger meat was juicy and very flavourful. It was served in a brioche roll with crunchy lettuce and tomato. Yummy.

I've had burgers where the burger itself tasted fantastic. steakandhonour are a local food park van(s) which uses locally sourced grass fed longhorn chuck, and you really can taste the difference in the beef.

I've had their burger. Best tasting burger I have had anywhere here or US.

WOW best takeaway burger i've ever eaten

my heart is very lucky that there isn't one local.

^ Looks quite tasty. It'd be better with a brioche bun and crisper bacon though

Yeah, that bread has seen better days.

Patty & Bun for London, my favourite burger place

Spuj · 3 Dec 2015 at 10:28

Has anyone had any of Patty and Bun's breakfast creations? If so what are they like?

I follow them on instagram and some of the things they create for breakfast look really tasty, unfortunately living in the west country means I will never get to taste them

wow, way to torture yourself - the breakfast is (almost) as good as the normal burgers. I've only had the P&B sausage but think of a sausage mcmuffin, except with real juicy meat, a decent bun, seriously tasty ketchup....

It does lack that aftertaste of disappointment and self loathing you always seem to get with mcdonalds though...

I'm not sure why I do it to myself. Originally I didn't follow them but then the misses would just show me the pictures as she did so I thought may as well torture myself then let her torture me more

Hopefully I can get to London some point soon around breakfast time and try some of their stuff out, that P&B sausage sounds really good and it looks delicious. I could do with less self loathing at the moment

Dirty bacon burger and Onion Fries at dirty burger Vauxhall, damn, thats a mighty fine burger.

the huge slab thing in the burger is about a 2cm thick hunk of bacon

Scam · 3 Dec 2015 at 15:08

Wow I never got a bit of bacon that big when I went! I thought Dirty Burger was great but a bit small. Should have got a double..
