Byron opened in Aberdeen today so Father Cheesemas had to be done. By far the best burger place in the city now.

I had a Five Guys for the first time about a month ago and it was lovely.

Although every burger to me pales in comparison to the one I had in Prague at The Tavern.

Never have I ever had anything as amazingly scrumptious as the burgers at that place. Perhaps it was just the mindset I had then, 2nd year of University, amazing beer, amazing food, amazing friends, take me back to Summer 2013

.

However I will always remember the burgers they served there as the best burgers I have ever had. And I would whole-heartedly recommend this place to anyone who visits Prague.

Pre Star Wars Byron this evening. Standard Byron burger with with blue cheese instead of cheddar, with courgette fries on the side.

My brother had the Father Cheesemas, and looked ruined by the time he'd finished it.

Awesome eats, awesome film. Satisfying evening all in all.

Basic burger in Shakeshack Westfield Stratford couple of days ago. A bit small considering the price I paid for it. Nice, but would've preferred it without the Cheese. Would've paid the same for without, so I didn't ask for no Cheese.

Had my first Byron in Manchester over the weekend, really tasty and perfectly cooked but them prices :eek:

Didn't find AF until yesterday though and we'd already decided to go to Lust Luck Liquor and Burn next door for some Mexican food.

There's a Byron cookbook being released in April for anyone who is a fan.

I've still not tried Lust Liquor and Burn. I hear it's pretty good though (and as you prob already know, owned by the same people as AF).

AF is infinitely better than Byron btw. I'd also rate Filthy Cow.

Are you still in Manc? I could recommend some other pro places

Lust Liqour and Burn was great, the only downside was my friend ordered the tacos and while tasty they were not tacos it was some filling stacked on top of something smaller than a pancake you get from the Chinese for your crispy duck.
I had a buritto which was brilliant.

I'm not I was only up there for the weekend

Ah, sounds a bit closer to traditional tacos but I can see how you'd be annoyed if you wanted what is usually called tacos :/ The food sounds good though - I might try and get down there this week if I can sneak out of work for a long lunch.

Shame you're not still about. There's so many nice places to try out. Real shame you missed out on AF too as Byron is (imo) nowhere near as good and also a bigger chain.

edit: I'm not saying Byron sucks btw...it's just not as good

tom_e · 20 Jan 2016 at 09:48

There was talk of us spending some more time up there and checking out more of the city so I may be back in the future for some recommendations

FrenchTart · 20 Jan 2016 at 09:49

Sounds like a plan

A new burger joint open less than a mile from my house, all their burgers come with bacon as standard (win). First visit, went with their standard burger with "Ninja wings" which is teriyaki sauce with a hot dip.

FrenchTart · 22 Jan 2016 at 20:40

Looks pretty damn tasty. Also, you managed to get all the important stuff in focus. *thumbs up*

Raymond Lin · 22 Jan 2016 at 20:45

It is pretty tasty, nice thick patty, their own special sauce is very nice. Not cheap though, £8 for the burger, and it's the cheapest one.

The wings are tasty if a bit skinny, I think I prefer the wings from the other place I normally visit.

What's the name of the place?

Had my first ever Five Guys earlier today as ones opened up near our local Cineworld, Nice burger and the fries where unlike anything I've had before taste wise.

I got the Bacon Cheeseburger, never had full crispy bacon on a burger before, didn't go mad with the toppings just lettuce, onions and jalapenos, Got the standard fries and some hot sauce for dipping. Sauce tasted like it was tobasco based.

Bit reluctant to pay £14 for a burger, fries and drink again though.

Slow reply but...understandable response

To be honest I'd rate Byron much higher if they simply heated/toasted their buns. I really don't get why they're served cold :confused:
