Dirty Takeaway Pictures Volume 3
Discussion
o.k off today so drive 39 miles to Birmingham to sample the fives guys that everyone raves about.
18 quid for bacon cheeseburger all the way, with cajun fries. they added an extra patty for free. With a salted caramel shake.
so the salted caramel tasted like the McDonald's caramel sundae, exactly the same. the cajun fries tasted of salt with a little hint of spice and nothing special.
the burger was nice and bun etc, but tasted to me of a burger van stall at a farmers market, so nothing really special. not bad but could have done with mcdees big mac sauce. don't think i will gfo again.

Someone I know raved about 5 Guys for ages, we went. It was okay, burger & fries were on par with gastro pub but expensive for eating in a fast food place. Service wasn't great despite place being half empty on a Saturday lunchtime and plenty of staff on.18 quid for bacon cheeseburger all the way, with cajun fries. they added an extra patty for free.

I think everyone should have some kind of 'big plate' for their dirty takeaways (like gallardo did). It can't be a normal plate size, it can't be 'sharing' plate either (that's boring). it must be something else like above. It has to be something used for something large, like a pie, or pizza or lasanga tray etc... in my youth I used to sometimes eat out of a large glass pie dish for example.
imo 'deep fried' chicken/prawn balls could possibly the dirtiest thing in takeaway land.
the best ones i've had have been crap and the worst have been absolutely revolting, for example a miniature prawn enclosed in a gigantic ball of filthy greasy batter. I love dirty food but I think some takeaways go completely over the top with these.

PoyD tends to be more well presented food, so figured it was better for you heathens
Seaweed, deep fried ribs, singapore noodles and deep fried crispy beef with chili sauce?PoyD tends to be more well presented food, so figured it was better for you heathens
Noodles vary from place to place around here. I've had Singapore noodles with a 'soup' before.
crispy seaweed
salt and garlic spare ribs
noodles with beansprouts
crispy shredded beef in bird's nest with chilli & carrots
sweet and sour chicken (hongkong style)
Taken from the horses (err...) mouth.

I found a gig in the academy near rusholme that I could easily convince my friends to go to and that was the only excuse I needed. Could have just as easily gone to the same show in birmingham but no rusholme chippy there!!next one is rusholme chippy but that is 64 miles away, so need to work out reason to go.

Back before I started my diet I used a large serving plate for Indian takeaways, one day I will return to it.Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
