With a pint of Wife Beater too?
Seriously though, I kind of agree with you on the appearance front. I'm not a big fan of these thick burger stacks - for two reasons:
1) I don't want to have to don a disposable paper boiler suit to eat it.
2) We know burgers etc. aren't 'health food' so I don't want the side order of guilt trip!
However, I'd lay money on the Atomicburger being the better taste and the Wetherspoons burger looking nothing like their photograph..
Agree it was a gut buster but it was worth it, quality burger and damn tasty (for reference it was a burger with pulled pork, whether that makes it better or worse). Seriously though, I kind of agree with you on the appearance front. I'm not a big fan of these thick burger stacks - for two reasons:

Burgers, dividing the Internet since 1990.

Just came back from my second visit to Honest Burgers in a week. Quite possibly the best burgers I've had full stop, usurping Bleecker Burger as the current king. Pink and juicy, lots of cheese. Top nommage.
I went for the Good Karma burger - Beef, Karma Cola candied bacon, double American cheese, shoestring fries, Karma bacon gravy, red onion and bush pepper pickles served up with Rosemary salted chips.
That looks really good - could be a pro photo! I went for the Good Karma burger - Beef, Karma Cola candied bacon, double American cheese, shoestring fries, Karma bacon gravy, red onion and bush pepper pickles served up with Rosemary salted chips.

If anyone is ever in Oxford (or Bristol), this is our go-to burger place (with options +/- £10)

However one of the best burgers I’ve had in the uk was actually in Padstow, in this case served with truffle Parmesan fries
There is some confusion above. That's not from Atomic Burger, but the place in Padstow.https://atomicburger.co.uk/img/atomic-menu-burger-...

Atomic Burger was incredibly good a few years ago. I lived nearby and frequented the pizza (and burger) joint a lot and the purely burgers joint (on the same road) occasionally.
Unfortunately 2/3 years ago they changed the menu once or twice and did a good job of "improving it worse". It became pricier, with less choice. Staff must have changed too, and the food just wasn't as nice or consistent either.
I haven't been for a long time, maybe it's back on form now, but I doubt it.
Their Fallout Challenge burger is the hottest thing i've ever tasted, btw.
Anyone been to Schwartz Bros burgers in Bath recently? Always went there when I lived there in the 90s, the garlic mayo cheese burgers and the sweet chilli chicken burgers were great.
I don't remember going to McDonalds much as Schwartz were always a better alternative (though takeaway only), and used to be open very late at night so they would be compulsory after pub/club food.

Which one? I had the Umami burger the other day and it was pretty tasty. But it's just fast food like McD's/BK.
one of everything apart from avocado basically, felt a bit sick after, and resorted to eating the insides not the buns after the first 2 as huge struggle.. yes its fast food but better than mcds for similar price.mozzarella sticks were gross, loaded fries nice, halloumi burger wasn't nice though, fish burger was edible but wouldnt have it again.

The burger looks obscene. I wouldn't eat that with your mouth and stomach!

Does everyone want more rather than better or different? Seems that way.

The wife and I are in Thailand and wanted something "normal" so we've just been for burgers, the chips weren't anything special, but we're fine, but the burger was sublime; freshly made with the cheese in the middle.
2 of those, a large Chang beer and a Sprite, was £11.54, back home it would have been knocking in the door of £30.00.
We also got 4 homegrown, rather tasty oranges.

GBK announce they are closing 17 branches.
Shame, I remember when they first opened they were at the start of the "quality burger" boom and were worth a visit. I guess they are now in a position where they have overstretched, you've lost the spark that made it good in the first place, and their competition does it better.prand said:

Where was it in Padstow? I won't be back there until August, but hopefully they'll still be serving...Fairly simple stuff but extremely tasty, really friendly stuff and plenty of rustic charm at a really good price. Wouldn't hesitate going back if I could.

Which is not a good sign as food and entertainment businesses are supposed to be fairly safe bets when the economy worsens.

IIRC, GBK are no more expensive than any of their contemporaries (Honest, Byron, Five Guys), they were at the cheaper end of the gourmet burger range.

I wonder what the thinking behind this is? In my simplified view, once an economy worsens, most people generally tend to cut back a bit. Maybe I'm wrong..
