Where's your favourite burger joint?

partial to http://threebrothersburgers.co.uk/ if I'm in the centre.

burgers are so popular its hard not to find a decent burger in the local area.
burger joint is slightly better, but not so centre. http://www.theburgerjoint.co.uk/

start the bus had very good burgers, but its just shut down.

Their mega burger looks most agreeable.

Glaucus · 23 Oct 2016 at 22:47

yeah that's generally my go to, extremely filing, want to try the triple one, but just seems overkill.

Could do it without fries I reckon. Just the burger.

Lunch again at Bread Meats Bread. Had their Wolf of St Vincent Street burger. Cheeseburger with bacon and pulled pork. Was amazing :D[/QUOTE]

That looks lush

Agreed why go to five burgers, when you can go get a proper burger for the same price. Do people really not have 30minutes.

I think you're missing the point of five guys. It's actually closer to McDonald's pricing than the 2 you listed - much closer if you want lots of toppings on your burger. And I would say much closer in quality to how those burgers look than it is to McD's.

how?

three brothers cheese burger £6.50 fries £2.50
five guys cheese burger £7.95 fries £2.95

so yeah you are absolutely right I don't get Five guys and why people are willing to pay such obscene money.

For me, the best burger I've ever had is at Original Patty Men in Birmingham: http://originalpattymen.com/

Absolutely love the place, nice and simple environment, tasty craft beers and awesome burgers!

I actually thought Five Guys was more expensive than that tbh. I'd rate it far above McDonalds though I'd also go to a more indie burger place in a heart beat. Even though it's expanded so it is now technically a chain, Almost Famous in Manchester is awesome. Filthy Cow is also pretty pro.

I think I might have to arrange a visit to a friend in brum...

Apparently so. I had no idea

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I never went but heard good things.

Glaucus · 24 Oct 2016 at 21:23

Well, better that than I turn up wanting burgers some night

Nom nom. I was just talking about home made burgers actually. Planning on getting some decent quality mince from my local butcher to try a few experiments...

Had a steak deep fill fray bentos tonight. I don't know why these get such a bad press. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Crisp top pastry, soggier underneath that mixed with a meaty gravy, nice chunks of steak and thoroughly filling. Can't see a problem tbh.

I've never even heard of this place! It's now on my list next time I pop into Brum. Just a pity you've got to venture to Digbeth!

Made an awesome chorizo and red lentil stew.

Lokai · 27 Oct 2016 at 22:27

Pure filth -

Naan, chicken tikka, spicy chicken, lamb tikka, donner, seekh, chilli sauce, salad, garlic sauce and cheese chips !!!

Craig1981 · 27 Oct 2016 at 23:43
