The drive to Rochester was made worth it by a delightful Burger. Having been enticed by Chuck and Blade’s well managed Instagram page I had to go and try the Big Charlie and it did not disappoint. Would I head back there again? Yes. The Burger was beautifully constructed and the Candied Bacon and Sweet Bacon Jam added another dimension. The Bun: 20/20 Reminiscent of Burger and Beyond’s Demi brioche this was the closest thing I have had to it. The shine was impeccable and it held particularly well against the candied moisture of the bacon, the Sweet Bacon Jam…

Lets with start from the outside in. I think this has to be the new gold standard for burger buns for me. They were wonderfully fresh and smelled delicious when I opened the package. So fresh that they were soft enough to squeeze, but firm enough to bounce back. Burger and Beyond have another level of DIY kit, could they be the best burgers in London? The Bun: 20/20 Let’s with start from the outside in. I think this has to be the new gold standard for burger buns for me. They were wonderfully fresh and smelled delicious when I…

If you are after a quick Burger that is of great quality, holds shape, is juicy and flavourful then the SmokeShack at ShakeShack has to be a contender. The patty was full of chargrilled flavour, the bun was terrific and the cheese was the best American cheese I have ever tasted. My one gripe was with the Bacon, although a little flavour was omitted it was pretty redundant against the rest that was nearing perfection in my opinion. The Bun: 20/20 Although the menu does elude to what this bun is made from I am pretty certain it is a…

Instagram served as the inspiration to order the DIY kit from Nanny Bills. The content on their page is a mouthwatering collage of colourful burger variation undisturbed by business advertisement on their DIY kit, a breath of fresh air on social media profiles at the moment. The Hot Box Kit is one of many at Nanny Bills but this one had one of my favourite sauces in Chipotle Sauce, combine that with the smoked bacon and we had a deal! The Bun: 18/20 I have no complaints about this seeded bun. It held well and had a nice soft texture. I…
