Had a Bleacker Burger this past weekend. Best burger I've ever eaten.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Yeah, they're not bad but do you really think they are better than Honest?

 

[Orang Utan]

Much better. I don't remember anything about Honest now.
There's a Byron below me that I might check out next.

Honest Burgers are overrated. Under-seasoned and overpriced.

KFC doing beef??! What next?! Pizza Hut doing burgers and chicken fillets?! Subway doing cheesey beanburger turnovers?!

Er....

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Those pizzas look enough to make me go vegetarian.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

They have those pizzas in Pizza Hut here. Mr Yu wont let me order one.

It's back....

Just had one - not as good as I remembered.

 

[High Voltage]

Slight derail - but I can remember back years ago when there was such a delight as a "King Rib" which looks very much like the McRib but you got it from your local Fish 'n' Chip emporium - not THAT was a delight to eat - slightly sweetened "pork" MR meat probably but it was lovely, filling and cheap

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

Yeah - remember that too. Pretty sure I saw them in a few chippies in Edinburgh a couple of years ago.

 

[High Voltage]

And it somehow made it's way right down South to my original home town of Weston-super-Mare - the jewel of the South West

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I don't remember having a McRib when they were on before, but tried on the other day and don't get the fuss. It wasn't all that nice actually.

 

[Ranbay]

Yeah I had 2 just to make sure, wasn't all that.

 

[DotCommunist]

It tasted better back then because we all spent most of the late 90s baked on crap soapbar hash

Anyone tried that yet? Right off the bat I'm somewhat suspicious...

Looks like a rip off to me, just get the ingredients separately

I had a burger from fatboys diner yesterday, it is in an old diner caravan by the river: https://www.facebook.com/fatboysdiner?rf=127155594003145
Seems to have changed owner, it used to just do cheap burgers but now they have increased the price (to £6) but made them taste amazing like american ones... worth a trip.

Green Bay Packers debut insane 3.5lb, 2400-calorie 'Lambeau Burger'

The 'Big Game Burger' (or 'Lambeau Burger', named after the Packers' Lambeau Field stadium) contains half a pound of certified Angus beef, half a pound of ground bacon, half a pound of ground venison, MORE bacon (regular strips smoked with jalapeno peppers, this time), crispy fried onions, house-made jalapeno cheese, pickles and a 'secret sauce'.

Oh, and it also contains six slices of tomato and a generous clump of lettuce, for those concerned about the risk this monstrosity poses to their 'balanced diet'.
On sale for $20 at the game - that's £13.19 in today's sterling

One of my New Years Resolutions was to stop buying meat for 2 months. This means that I cook and eat it at work and if somebody else does for me, but on my 7 days of I'm following a mostly vegetarian diet. I'm feeling pretty good for it tbf.

Except tonight I will be eating epic burgers at Lone Star as its a present to some friends of mine from last year which we never got round to. I'm not sure if it's going to be awesome to eat that much meat or it's just going to make me feel ill.

I normally go for this.

That sounds like it's worth breaking your resolution for

 

[UnderOpenSky]

They are dam fine burgers, there is no veggie option and I've owed this for to long, so I'm not counting it as breaking my resolution. I had dhal for breakfast, stir fried veg and chickpeas for lunch and have been caving today. Now bring on the meat!

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I went semi healthy and subistuted one of the burgers for a chicken breast.

Well that's just a chickencowpig feast now isn't it. I'd take the chicken out and eat separately.

In fact. That's a brilliant idea. Considering it's only an extra quid per patty usually, add another chicken breast in the burger and viola! A burger n chips, with a side of chicken for an extra quid.

Trough is quite a genius idea, too messy to be hipster, and you get to eat burgers you wouldn't usually order. I'm wondering how they don't fall apart though? And is it one price, eat as much as you like?
Burger and chips is crap though. Who would even cook that at home let alone go out and pay for it

 

[tommers]

I had a bacon and cheese "gourmet burger" at harvesters for lunch. Burger relish, piripiri on top. It was noteworthy, got to say.
