James vs. The Impossible Burger

A vegan burger that looks, smells and tastes just like beef? A meatless burger that will fool even the most hardcore meat eaters? That’s what the Bill Gates-backed, San Francisco-developed Impossible Burger has been touted as by many. I’d seen many Instagram photos and blog posts by people who had eaten the burger. Photos of […]

I went to Japan and ate Burger King’s Black Burger so you never have to

Late last year, we took a trip around Japan and during that time, I ate a couple of burgers. From what I could understand, the burger scene over there isn’t quite like what we have in Glasgow, but I had a few places noted in my phone and was determined to make it to each […]

Beef Burger – Stravaigin, Glasgow

Stravaigin sits on Gibson street in Glasgow’s west end, surrounded by a host of good quality bars, restaurants and entertainment venues. Inside, it’s one of the most fantastic venues I’ve ever set foot in. It feels very intimate, despite being spread out over several levels and there are so many little nooks and crannies to […]

Cheeseburger-Crust Pizza – Pizza Hut

Described on the Pizza Hut website as ‘all of the fun, without the bun’, the cheeseburger-crust pizza, which appeared on menus overseas earlier this year, has now hit the UK. Earlier this week, the near 3,000 calorie pizza hit the newspapers and was panned (heh) by critics. We’re pretty open-minded here at JVB and didn’t […]

World Tour: El Gordonita Burger – Berlin Burger International, Berlin

Berlin Burger International is a hole-in-the-wall eatery that you’d more than likely walk by and end up getting lost looking for it, if it weren’t for the long lines of hungry customers queueing out the door almost every evening. Inside, it holds no more than 7 or 8 people – less if there are a […]

Double Chophouse Burger / Glasgow Burger – The Chophouse, Glasgow

The Chophouse is a fairly new addition to Merchant City’s already long list of restaurants and was recently highlighted to us by a couple of readers who had recommended the burgers there. Formerly Sizzlers Steakhouse, the Chophouse sits on Albion street, with the main customer entrance located nearby in Merchant Square. There’s plenty of seating […]

Bison Burger – O’Neill’s, Glasgow

Our recent visit to O’Neill’s was an unscheduled stop on our never-ending burger adventure. I had some family visiting from across the pond in New York City. After a weekend of non-stop catch up and hitting almost every bar in Glasgow, I decided to meet up with them for one last bite to eat in […]

1901 Burger / Elvis Burger – 1901 Bar & Grill, Glasgow

A recent discussion regarding the best burger in Glasgow’s south side on our Facebook page sparked us to head over to Shawlands. We recently reviewed the burger from Eat Cafe, a widely regarded favourite amongst our readers and found it to be pretty darn good. We decided to randomly pick a venue in the south […]

Independent Burger / Diablo Burger – Independent Bar & Kitchen, Glasgow

Before it was Independent, it was ‘Muse’ and before it was ‘Muse’ it was ‘Blacks’. I’d never been a huge fan of the burgers under either of the previous banners and it was only until I saw a large banner advertising the bar as I walked along Argyle street, that I wondered if perhaps the […]

Mal Burger – Malmaison, Glasgow

Located in a former 19th century church building on West George street, the Malmaison Brasserie has often been referred to as ‘the crypt’. Located in the basement of this boutique hotel, the restaurant consists of a black and deep purple colour scheme with gothic furniture and atmospheric lighting. Certainly a very cool setting for a […]
