After being carefully talked down over the first two, we pushed forward with the third. Over the past year, we tried out the very best burgers that the UK has to offer.

Crack Do Heroes Of Might And Magic Ii Mega more. JEBurger of choice Loomswood duck Suffolk pork burger. Toppings Kreik Boon, liquorice black cherry ketchup, Provolone picante cheese. Chips Worcester sauce chilli. Price 8. 7. 5 without friesThoughts Throughout our search, weve sampled a fair few burgers that can be easily placed in the odd category. At this Shoreditch pub, their three burgers are all focused on bringing the quirk and while its always interesting to try something a bit leftfield, its important not to let the more basic ingredients disappear into the background. So while the patty, a combination of duck and pork, made for a nice difference, the bun was a real letdown. Dry and tasteless, it prevented any of the other flavours from really shining. Bonus points though for the delicious chips which were ingeniously coated in Worcester sauce and chilli. Star rating crownandshuttle. September 2. 3rd. Joes Southern Kitchen, London. Address 3. 4 King street, WC2. E 8. JD London, United Kingdom. Burger of choice Joes Dry Aged Burger. Toppings Pimento cheese, bacon, caramelised onions,Chips Fries, served with bacon salt. Price 1. 2. 9. 5Thoughts Previously known as Navajo Joes, this Covent Garden restaurant was in need of a bit of a face lift after slowly turning into a theme park. Thankfully, its come and after being rebranded Joes Southern Kitchen, the menu has become a more authentically American selection of tasty dishes. Our burger was dry aged and made from longhorn which gave the patty a deliciously savoury flavour. In fact, every component worked together like a charm from the glazed bun to the bacon salt served with the salty fries. A worthy reinvention. Star rating joessouthernkitchen. September 2. 0th.

Thoughts Dear, dear Birmingham. Its been a long search, but finally we have it. A simply superb burger in Britains second city, courtesy of local legend Glynn Purnell. Convertir De Html A Pdf Con Php'>Convertir De Html A Pdf Con Php. Half pork half beef, the grease free patty is a divine bite, with the perfect flavour to juiciness ratio. The homemade burger bun isnt floppy, it has some backbone which marries perfectly with the meat. You have to do a little bit of work to get a mouthful but its oh so worth it. And the chef goes easy on the toppings, meaning theres no mess. This isnt a dirty burger. If you want one of them go to Original Patty Men at Digbeth Dining Club also superb. This is sophisticated, stunningly fresh burger making. Top tip The flair bartender makes an incredible peanut butter and jelly cocktail. Its not on the menu and is a sublime bed pal to the burger.

RFBurger of choice Patty Melt Sandwich. Toppings fried onions and ogleshield cheese. Chips thin cut, salted. Price 1. 2 1. Jar options of ricotta, duck liver mousse and smoked trout. Available before 7pmThoughts We were slightly taken aback when Chop Shops burger arrived at our table We didnt order the cheese toa. We should have adjusted our expectations when we ordered the Patty Melt Sandwich is just that a square meat patty riding shotgun in what is otherwise a cheese toastie, albeit an extravagant one. The patty 3. 5 day aged meat from the rolling hills of the Lake District was flavoursome, medium rare and not too heavy on the grease. The onions were fried to sweet perfection, but it was the ogleshield cheese of Neals Yard Dairy that was the overriding flavour a melted mess of stringy deliciousness. Our only issue lay with the bun the two slices of fried then toasted rye bread were nicely crisped, but the crusts spoilt the overall texture of the sandwich, leaving a notable gap in which there was no meat or filling. Its different, but in a good way. Star rating www. September 1. CHOSEN BUN, LONDONAddress 6. Fulham Rd, London SW6 5. PU delivers within a two mile radiusBurger of choice The Viking. Toppings caramalised red onion and garlic chutney, lettuce, American cheese or Cheddar cheese, ketchup, mayo and Nicks pickles. Chips Belgians skin on, triple cooked with rosemary salt. Price 8. 5. 0 without friesThoughts Burger delivery What madness is this Not madness, but perfect sense, according to friends Andy and James, who realised there was a gap in the market for a high end burger delivered to your door. So they set to work travelling the world tasting burgers and patenting their own box to transport the burger without a mess of bread and beef arriving on your doorstep. We ate in store, so cant comment on the delivery, but we can say that there was no toppling in transition from counter to seat. Highlights were the branded bun which is kept from sogginess due to a strategic layer of chutney and the American cheese. The patty wasnt mind blowing, but the chips were crisp and crunchy due to the triple cooking process over 4. One to keep an eye on. Star rating www. September 1. Dukes Head, London. Ventana De Microsoft Publisher 2010. Address 8 Lower Richmond Rd, London SW1. JNBurger of choice Cardinal BurgerWild Boar Apple Burger. Toppings Cheese, Tomato, Lettuce for the Cardinal Cheese Smoked Garlic Mayo for the Wild Boar. Chips Triple cooked chips. Price 1. 0. 5. 01. Thoughts A thoroughly beautiful riverside setting, overlooking some struggling rowers attempting to navigate the Thames, together with some friendly service made this an enjoyable eating experience overall. Unfortunately the burgers were good, rather than sensational the Cardinal beef burger was very nicely done, but straightforward, while the Wild Boar burger had a good, strong flavour, but was a little on the rich side overall. The accompanying triple cooked chips, however, were excellent. A great place to eat, but dont expect burger paradise. Star rating www. September 1. Boom Burger, London. Address formerly The Earl of Portobello, 3. Golborne Raod, North Kensington W1. PRBurger of choice Boom BurgerJerk Boom. Toppings Lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, onion for the standard Boomfried plantan, mango sauce, paw paw sauce for the Jerk Boom. Chips Plantain FriesFrench Fries. Price 8 for the burgers, 2 for the fries. Thoughts A pop up kitchen in a relatively obscure pub in Westbourne Park, together with a rainy Wednesday night meant that it was fairly quiet when we experienced the Boom Burger so all the more reason to shout from the rooftops about this hidden treasure in the UKs burger landscape.
