Tried Shake Shack today, was nice, burger wasnt as big or satisfying as Five Guys though, James Mcavoy also prefers five guys as I could hear him talk about it as he was sat across from me and the wife

I had a Byron burger in Milton Keynes today.
Did not know what to expect, they aparently have good burgers. I had the chilli burger and chips with skin on.
Nice to be honest given its a fairly mainstream food place in mk center. The burger was nice, bun was soft, it was a nice size too. found there sauce they put on a little claggy to the roof of my mouth. The chips were almost the same as patty and bun just without the rosmary salt.
Its not a patty and bun that's for sure, but for a local burger I am impressed.

I always get nervous when I see places list "hamburger" instead of "beefburger" as on a trip to Prague a few years back I ordered the former expecting something made of beef and instead got something made of what looked like reconstituted ham? It was absolutely disgusting.
I assume Byron and the like serve proper burgers and nothing like the above? If so I am going to give the Exeter branch a try this week as it's come quite recommended in this thread.
(apologies for the stupid question, I'd just like to not make the same mistake)

Not sure if this should be in here or the man vs food thread, but have a look at this abomination, AKA the glam burger..

Hardly anything new, but what a load of **** anyway!
For those in Scotland, try the burgers served in Dram on Woodlands Road, they are fantastic.
Went in on Thursday and had the cheese and bacon burger with spicy cheese fries. It was definitely up there with the usual burger joints and possibly the best one I have had!

Well I'm supposed to be going to Bodeans on Thursday for a meat and beer catchup. It's not great but it's convenient. Just the thought of Pit Cue Co is tempting me to go there instead (there is no comparison between the quality of Bodeans and Pit Cue of course).MeatLiquor for lunch tomorrow.
Potentially Pit Cue in the evening too.
Love the food at MEATLiquor.
Hate the building. Far too dark and trendy for me. Same with some coffee shops in London. I'd actually like to be able to see across the table.
Takeout may be my thing here.
Had the Bacon cheeseburger. Truly a great burger. Fries were very generic, but not over salted which was a very nice surprise.
Didn't get to go to Pitt Cue today. Next Tuesday for lunch then.

Downside of pitt cue is the queue 
everytime i've wanted to go it's been half hour plus. Even getting a soho special from Bodeans can be a fair long wait!

Off to Almost Famous for the second time tomorrow. I'm hoping it will match up to my first experience

Sorry for the bump but.. that service charge lol!
At least they brought it to the table (right?
)

Almost Famous was just as good as I remember. Food-wise at least. The clientèle were scaltastic tonight (at the AMC AF).
