Beef Burger / Salmon Burger – Skinny’s, Glasgow

As you walk towards Skinny’s; tucked away on Otago Street in Glasgow’s West End, it almost feels as if it shouldn’t be there. Located on a fairly quiet side street and surrounded by flats, it’s a rather unusual, almost hidden-away location for a burger joint. To be honest, if I hadn’t heard about it through word […]

Recipe: Pancake Burger

It’s that time of year when most supermarket shelves are stocked with pancake mix and jars of maple syrup and people around the country consume more pancakes in one day than they are likely to have all year. We decided to whip up a batch of savoury pancakes of our own along with a smashed […]

Recipe: Christmas Burger

It’s that time of year where we like to enjoy lots of turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and carbs galore – the time of year where we stuff our faces until we just can’t eat anymore, as we tell ourselves that we’ll get to the gym as soon as the new year […]
