tree house tam Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Dingwall has a Wimpys. Wimpys is shite. There's a wee Polish takeaway in Perth called Must-dash. Amazing burgers and chicken burgers all for under £4. Only started using it as it's next to the bookies, wouldn't see past the place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Is there still a Wimpys in Aberdeen? Seem to remember having one after a birthday party at ramboland but that's going back a good few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anothertime Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Good news if you are in London or going to London, theres a place opening called CaliBurger which I have heard is also suppose to taste similar to In and Out I have heard http://caliburger.co.uk/about/locations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Bit late to the chat on the rare, medium well done issue but I was talking to a chef who lost his shit at hamburgers being cooked anything other than well done. He recons because it's minced meat it has to be well done as bacteria can get into the patty and not be killed off. Unlike steak which is slice of flesh. Was he talking shite?

It's not like steak where you can brown the outside and have the inside basically raw. Medium should be safe as long as the core temperature is high enough. Personally I cook my burgers at home medium if I've made them myself (particularly if I've minced it myself), but well done if they are supermarket burgers. Even so you would almost certainly be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recons because it's minced meat it has to be well done as bacteria can get into the patty and not be killed off. Unlike steak which is slice of flesh. Was he talking shite? It really should be cooked well. He is correct about the bacteria being able to be still present inside the burger (unlike steak). The USDA allow irradiated beef, which is why you tend to get it rare over in the US. In Scotland the minimum internal temperature should be 82C on the probe.

Suspect Device Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Just noticed that Five Guys is opening in November in Aberdeen. Across from M&S. Given that I've not even bothered trying out Byrons, I'm not sure how long it will take me to get around to tasting a five guys burger. Not been to the Boozy Cow or Angus and Ale. I really need to eat more burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Not been to the Boozy Cow Nothing particularly special and rather overpriced for what it is imo. Went a couple of years ago and have had absolutely no desire or temptation to head back. One thing that Aberdeen absolutely excels at is over hyping anything new which comes to town. We'll be hearing about Hornblowers fish and chips for ages when it finally makes the switch up from Gourdon btw. Ace food, but not looking forward to hundreds trying to educate me on somewhere I've been going to for years already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had a Byron Burger the other night, Double Cheese and Bacon burger, very nice if a little messy. I also had a peanut butter cup milkshake, which was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's probably the Evening Express who seem to lose their minds when something new opens in Aberdeen. Still, it will be good to see their food review of Five Guys when it opens. They are normally tragic. I don't mind The Boozy Cow. Probably prefer it to Five Guys TBH but I was disappointed I didn't get a chance to sample Byron when I was in Aberdeen at the weekend.

jmothecat Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Byron and Boozy Cow are both better than Fuve Guys imo but Bread Meats Bread is better than either.In a related note I was sad to see Wannaburger has closed down in Edinburgh. Good burgers, well cooked. Nothing too fancy but always a great burger and their shakes were incredible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Byron's was overpriced for what it was. Nice enough food but paying for everything separately (chips/coleslaw etc are ordered as sides) means that you end up spending loads for some moderately tasty food which you can get much cheaper elsewhere. After their 'Lee Wallace' episode I'll never go back though. Hired loads of illegal immigrants top work for them on f**k all wages and when they got caught, they did a deal with the home office and told the workers they were going to a training meeting when really they were setting them up to get caught and deported. Ok they were illegal immigrants, but grassing them up and getting them deported after they have been working for you is fucking low. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/28/it-was-a-fake-meeting-byron-hamburgers-staff-on-immigration-raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to the Byron in Camden and it was alright, was more impressed by their own beer than their burgers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Byron and Boozy Cow are both better than Fuve Guys imo but Bread Meats Bread is better than either.In a related note I was sad to see Wannaburger has closed down in Edinburgh. Good burgers, well cooked. Nothing too fancy but always a great burger and their shakes were incredible too. The demise of wannaburger is a sore one. 'Burger' round the corner on Shandwick Place is naff, bread meats bread prices for wannaburger style and a needlessly weird ordering system and staff. Will not go back.Byron has no chance of getting my custom cause of the immigration thing but also because its opposite bmb on lothian road.
