Very tasty, just came across this from a holiday in Miami. The burger was the least expensive thing on the menu.
What the hell is that? It looks like a massive splat on a plate, no indication of what's what, whether it tasted nice...
You beat me to it . Ffs smile

This guy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Bae was raging when I saw the prices but for my 14 year old son, it was a must-do. Probably looked better before I cut it in half. Also had to order sides separately.

He’s the biggest food wker there is. Don’t sweat it mate. I’m just pulling your leg. I would trust a chef that wears sunnies. smile

If anyone is in Manchester and fancies a change from Almost Famous, try the Big Matt in Hawksmoor, it’s their take on the Big Mac. You can just get it at the bar so don’t have to go in to the proper restaurant.

Think it’s £16 on its own but for £20 you get fries and a cocktail, think it’s called Sneaky Pete, really nice.

The burger is as you imagine, a really nice refined version of the Big Mac. I’ve had Solita’s version before and it’s nicer than that.

That looks good! Suspect the cocktail is a Shaky Pete

No pics but it doesn't need them. Double quarterpounder with cheese, no pickle, add bacon. Awesome.

First time in Shake Shack. Not the greatest thing ever. Still liked it but will keep trying new places when out and about. Why are burgers and chips served lukewarm?!

Anyhow the price. £7.50 for the SmokeShack, £3 for the crinkly fries and £3 for a lemonade and ice tea.

I feel personally triggered by that photo...

How could you eat another burger whilst looking directly across the road at Bleecker!

Went to ShakeShack last night (Piccadilly/Leicester Square branch). Wasn't impressed.

Burger was so-so, better than McDonalds, but then it should be for £10.75 (just for the burger).

Went for cheese fries, which cost £1 extra, could see the woman preparing them was struggling to get any cheese sauce to come out of the pot it's in so had to reject those and get them to try again with a new tub of cheese sauce.

What is it with the tiny coke cup? Sure it's refillable but you have to go up to the counter and beg for it. Not great when you're on your own so don't want to lose your belongings or burger or seat while you go to the counter for another mouthful of coke.

Won't be rushing back!

I passed Hills in Brecon yesterday, I’d heard good thing so popped in for a burger.
I went with the Chicken Parmigiana -
Buttermilk chicken, mozzarella, bacon, marinara sauce. £12. Rosemary fries, £3 and a coke £2.60
It was table service, so didn’t wait for change from a twenty, expensive lunch but very very good.

Also, bought some burgers from the butchers that supplies Bleecker at the weekend, except they replace the fat in the Bleecker mix with bone marrow in their own ones... they went down a storm.

Who's the butcher?
