After a week of training, a few 5k runs and, pretty much 3kg of chicken breast, I figured the time for a cheat had arrived. After confirming the budget my wife and I actually decided on a huge Five Guys for the evening. Well, I decided, and my wife agreed reluctantly. Remorse is just one of those emotions that I struggle to contain so it was on seeing the board outside Carluccio’s, next door to Five Guys, saying three courses for £20 I broke! I gave myself the ol’ “You have trained so hard” self talk and decided that, if…
Deliveroo has a lot of options for burger deliveries in my area. I tried the Mac Daddy Burger from Neighborhood Burgers. A combination of smoked cheese, Mac & Cheese, onion jam, pickles, and lettuce should have been a flavor explosion. Read on to see how it went! The Bun: 15/20 Suprisingly the bun for the Truffle Mac Daddy turned up looking more healthy than a burger bun should do! The sesame seeds (and black seeds) gave an artisan feel to the burger bun. The complexion had me considering whether or not the bun was wholemeal, given the darker colour. Either…
This stack from Fego Cobham came with Sumac Onions, Roast Peppers, and Rocket. To be quite honest, other than the roast peppers, the toppings were completely redundant. The roast peppers, however, were pretty good. You would expect sumac onions to play a pretty pronounced role in the Lamb Burger, but they were disappointingly a no-show. The Bun: 10/20 I know Fego are exceptional in bringing quality food to a somewhat affluent area of Surrey. I did expect that the bun on their Lamb Burger would have been a lot better. The density of the bread must be purposefully constructed to…
It was a long time ago that my partner and I discussed our love for burgers. In fact, it was our mutual love for Five Guys that probably started the conversation in the first place. After nearly three years, it only just occurred to me that my infatuation with Five Guys had never culminated with me eating the “All the Way” version. Perhaps it could be a step too far, and ruin what I know to be a fantastic burger. But, the fact that Five Guys advertise it on the board must mean that its worth something, right? The Bun:…
For someone that has not been a fan of fast food restaurants, Burger King has become a little gem for me of late. There is something about the speed of the process that I have found quite cool in my adult years. I saw the app download on my Android device and thought I would give it a download. Then, I saw so many deals at Burger King, my eyes lit up. The Triple Stacker for three pounds was something that looked like something worth giving a go. Read on to see how it went! The Bun: 15/20 Things started…
As much as I love eating out at some of the country’s best burger joints, I also enjoy cooking up a storm. I have tried a number of burger patties from various supermarkets and have always been disappointed. After heading to Marks and Spencers to grab some fruit, if you know you know, I came across a surprising addition to the meat section. M&S Wagyu Burger patties! They were two for 5.50 which could be seen as a little steep in comparison to the 4 quarter pounders for 4 quid. But, I figured this would be a pretty decent weekend…
I needed to get a burger review done but was short on time after having a longer day at work than expected. My Deliveroo app came to the rescue! I thought I had tried everything that I had considered worthy in the last year or so, but then came across Neighbourhood Burgers. The pictures certainly looked the part. Some of these burgers looked pretty incredible actually. I am a sucker for Korean food and the Korean Fried Chicken Burger screamed out at me for a review. Read on and see how it went… The Bun: 16/20 The Sesame Seed bun…
After my surprising last visit to Burger King to try the Double Whopper, I thought I would waltz in and try something else. Until this year I cannot remember the last time I had been to Burger King or McDonalds, and the quality has been surprisingly good. The Bacon Double Cheeseburger looked particularly appetizing on the screen, so I thought I would give it a go. The Bun: 16/20 Ok, for starters I thought this burger was going to be bigger! Without my glasses on the Bacon Double Cheeseburger looked like a mammoth of a burger. It wasn’t until after…
Having been to 63rd & 1st last year I found the environment to be really nice in Cobham, service good, just lacked a little on the burger. It was a lunch meeting this time that brought me back to 63rd & 1st, and a quick check of the menu meant we were able to give the 63rd & 1st Burger a try. I must admit that the idea of swiss cheese on the burger did give me reservations from the jump but I knew I would enjoy the ambience in the restaurant nonetheless. Read on to see how the burger…
There is something about ordering a burger on Deliveroo. After trying so many delivery services, I have just found that the final product is sub-par to expectation. Fego, Cobham is a pretty popular restaurant in Cobham, not least because of the Chelsea players attending, but also for documented terrific food. I have had reservations about eating “at” Fego, as the environment is not really my cup of tea, but the menu has always been appealing. A few weeks ago my wife tried the BBQ Short Rib Mac and Cheese and said how good it was and so, I decided that…
