Went out into Leeds yesterday for my Brothers birthday, started out with a burger at Meat liquor in the trinity and i have to say its up there with the best burgers in the city. I just opted for a simple double patty, cheese, fried onions mustard ketchup and pickles and it was very tasty indeed. Best part was for £10 you got any burger, fries and bottomless soft drinks.
Its now a toss up between meat liquor and almost famous.
Meat Liquor in Leeds is good but Almost Famous was a shocking hell-hole the one time I went - poor service, under-cooked patty (and I like rare) that was flavourless and place was full of loud twunts. Almost as bad as the one in Manchester's Northern Quarter!Its now a toss up between meat liquor and almost famous.
Patty Smith's at Belgrave Music Hall do good burgers at good prices.
I've found Almost Famous can be spoilt by the other diners at times, their staff also seem very indifferent to the whole serving customers things at time, the fries have also got smaller and smaller in size but the burgers, in my experience at least, have always been really good. I bet they go through a fair few staff members though and suspect passion isn't as high in the line cooks as it is with whoever comes up with their creations.
Patty Smiths on the other hand, always great - they clearly have a process in place and the limited menu makes it easy to replicate the quality time and time again for a really good price.

Sitting around waiting today so flicked through a magazine pile. Came across one of those franchise magazines.
Appears the burger market is not saturated enough, Carl's Jr, some American burger chain is looking for master franchisers. Another one Wayback Burgers also.
They must have heard wrong about how little profit Five Guys is making
Anyway tried these two in the States? Any good?

tty RTE burger marketNow is resolutely not the time to be getting into the bricks and mortar restaurant game.
Indies closing, chains offloading unprofitable sites, and Deliveroo/UberEats hammering margins everywhere.
You'd have to be brave or foolish to consider it.

anyone tried the spicy nuggets and double quarter pounder yet...im on a post holiday diet as ive ballooned to 15 stone so not allowed!
i was told the spicy ones aren't really that hot so not worthit.Mcds clearly shows you how many calories the food is, incorporate it as part of a calorie deficit and it wont inhibit your weight loss

Yes, tried them on the day they were launched ...... Spicy nuggets are not that spicy if you compare them to say KFC hot wings, no doubt the dip adds to it but i'm not a fan of tomato sauce so would have preferred a spicy BBQ dip.The Double quarter was ok but you can only add bacon to it, i prefer to add extra cheese and lettuce and remove the sauce and pickles. I probably wouldn't rush out to buy them again.
Slap & Pickle at The Assembly Underground in Leeds, a really well cooked "basic" burger where you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The fries (scoop shaped) with bacon bits were spot on too.
I had the "baconator".
Highly recommended, unlike some of my terrible £6.60 a pint beer choices.
