I still remember having a burger at an open day at Upper Heyford American airbase, when I was a kid and I am sure it was the best burger I have ever had...
They had half oil drum BBQ's going all over the place.
No idea if it's just the rose tinted effect or if the American burgers really were a breed apart from anything we get here in the UK...
Bretts in Reading was awesome though, again long gone now.
These days £20 seems to get you a microscopic burger (more like a slider), piled high so it looks big!
Tried a renowned burger restuarant in Weymouth and found that the burger was full of grated carrot.... WTF?

RIAT at RAF Fairford tucked away in the car park field is usually a stall operated by the USAF staff worth a visit to see if it was? They had half oil drum BBQ's going all over the place.

Anyone had a burger at Blacklock? I’ve eaten there and it seemed good value for central London - the meat (tried a steak and skinny chops) was good quality and cooked well so wondered if the burger might be decent too? Burger is £12 and beef dripping chips £4.
I can't go to blacklock and not either eat a huge piece of beef or the 'all in' chops. Feels like sacrilege.C70R said:

My Dad was in the USAF and although he was an accountant he was also trained as a chef so he did alot of cooking at the base events.They had half oil drum BBQ's going all over the place.

In the 90s we lived on the military families bit of Heyford so if it was then that you tried the burger there is a genuine chance that my dad was the cook!
