Big ol' Burger Comparison Thread

Those burgers look great, but those chips look nasty.

Tried Honest Burger for the first time last night. I'm difficult to please but I thought that the Tribute burger I had was fantastic. Was pleasantly surprised that they included chips too.

I'm glad that I avoided the Kerala chicken burger @Siliconslave. Had it been grilled and not fried, I probably would have had ordered it.

Hit Meatliquor N1 up last night before a gig. Lush. Dead Hippie with chilli cheese fries. Hnnnngg.

Anyone been to The Diner chain in London? I ignored it initially thinking it's just another US style over substance establishment. However the photos on Instagram, reviews and menus look good!

I'm tempted to try them out next time I'm in London

Went there a few months ago, was a great burger.. Got the Doubled Up bacon Cheese

Just had one from Five Guys (I’m still in here - the music is lol loud). Was pretty average tbh. What’s the combo in terms of burger and fillings/toppings?

I have grilled onions, doubled up patty, mushrooms and BBQ sauce.

You can make your own VERY easily using flavoursome cheeses. Blend together cheese/hot liquid/sodium citrate and then cast into slices (eg. onto a tray and cut them out? Or in a tube and cut slices). I can give you the ratios if it’s of interest.

Yup. There's a good video (iirc) guide on Chefsteps with ratios for different kinds of cheese.

 

[MissChief]

Yeah, they’re everywhere. I was thinking of the modernist cuisine variants I think I’ve posted before. Chefsteps have done it. I guess Serious Eats have. The bloke behind Sansaire did a video on them. Etc.



The mushrooms were disappointing in mine - were too watery/meh.

OMG I forgot the cheese! Always cheese!

Had the Italian stack at McDonalds and have to say it was very tasty. Possibly the best of the recent guest burgers

I know it's stretching the definition of a burger, but I might have to have another one of these dirty greasy ******** tomorrow:

Went to Reds in Leeds today, wasn't too impressed if truth be told, i've eaten plenty of BBQ in my time, but never have i had rib tips that tasted straight up of charcoal and the bread on the burger had the same taste i know you get the BBQ taste from the coals but this was stupid, the burger (single pit burger) was ok but nothing spectacular, the pulled pork and Brisket that came on it were lovely and the swine fries were good too, but we came away disappointed really.

Just found out that Honest Burger are opening in Reading. Byron and GBK on the way as well.

 

[Craig1981]

Nice one

 

[Belloni]

I'm just off to eat at Honest Burger, been a while since I've been there. Any recommendations?

 

[Scam]

Can't beat the honest burger but the chimichurri special looks ace.

 

[Belloni]

I went with the tribute, delicious! Chips weren't to my liking, bit soggy but that bacon gravy though, imense.

Tried the Christmas today at Honest Burger which isn't in your face Christmassy. Thought it was decent, I'd happily have it again.

Had a Shake Shack in Tokyo, of all places, with black sesame milkshake.

The burger was good, but the shake was better.
