Burger Thread. Yes!

Had this amazing burger for lunch:

Hubba Hubba: 2 x 3oz smashed mustard-fried beef patties, American cheese, pickles, chipotle burger sauce, iceberg, soft white bun (£9.50) from The Social on Little Portland Street
 
Never been to five guys. Their 'anti-branding' branding makes me feel a bit ill, and I'm inherently suspicious of any chain restaurant that appears everywhere in the country all at once. It should be called 'five guys and a private equity fund'.

I had a burger the ither day while waiting for the bus. Just a plain burger with cheese tommy sauce and onions, little place opposite the new bus station. First non homemade or maccy d's burger in a while and I was impressed. Came in its styrofoam container, platic seating, free dr pepper. Dave had the same sans cheese. A really nice burger for 4 quid, nothing too fancy just a kebab shop burger. Must remember to stop there again, its convenient for the station

it just makes me think 'five guys one burger' and then onto private school wanking rituals
 
I'd be willing to try one. Just the name conjurs up images of said five guys masturbating onto a burger pattie and the one who finishes last has to eat it
 
I went to Five Guys on my birthday. The wife was NOT IMPRESSED at the prices, the service (the bitch behind the counter was proper giving it huffs and rolleyes when my wife was trying to work out which toppings to have) or the food.

I thought the burgers were good. Solid standard for a good robust fast food burger. I've had better at gourmet burger joints though (I know, shoot me) and do I think they justify the price? Nah. The spicy chips were great. Wife said they were too spicy :mad:. No pleasing some people.

The cheese and the bacon were the best bits.

Kebab shop burgers can be a real gamble, but also rather good if you get the right one.

When I was a student and pissed up I could be quite partial to a Cheese burger with chicken Kebab meat. This is probably not the right one.
 
It's been ages since I've had a burger that wasn't McDonald's or Burger King. The only time I really eat out is with my GF and burgers are not her thing (or red meat in general). Quite fancy one now.
 
Five Guys just got a change of use to let them open an outlet here. Scheduled for November apparently.

I'm beginning to wonder if there should be a campaign to rename part of the City "Burger Square" due to the sheer number and variety of outlets now.
