World Tour: El Machete Burger – Holsteins, Las Vegas

Holsteins was a place that we had high hopes for. After hearing some good things and looking over what looked like a great menu, we were excited to try some of their signature burgers and shakes. It’s also located inside the Cosmopolitan hotel – home of ‘The Wicked Spoon’, one of our favourite brunch spots […]

World Tour: Southwest Burger – Strip Burger, Las Vegas

I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate my 30th birthday during my time in Las Vegas. On the morning of my birthday, we had decided to start the day by doing the Stratosphere hotel Sky Jump. After leaping from almost 1,000 feat in the air and being terrified in the process, we were […]

World Tour: Double Double Animal Style – In-N-Out Burger, Las Vegas

In-N-Out burger is, to West coast America what Shake Shack and Five Guys are to the East coast. Fast food burgers, but with a difference. Nothing is ever frozen, everything is fresh and the fries are cut and made practically right in front of you. The meat is free from preservatives and additives too. There’s […]

World Tour: Peanut Butter Crunch Burger – Pub 1842, Las Vegas

When we visited Las Vegas recently for a burger tour, we were booked in to stay at the MGM Grand but had a list of potential burger joints as long as my arm, which spanned the entirety of the strip and beyond. After exploring our hotel a little, we stumbled upon Pub 1842 and decided […]

World Tour: Black Label Burger – Minetta Tavern, New York

I hadn’t been expecting to review the much-hyped Black Label burger at the Minetta Tavern in New York City until some time next year, when I’d hopefully have gotten to visit the Big Apple once again. Recently, we visited Las Vegas to both celebrate my 30th birthday and to try out some (hopefully) tasty burger […]

World Tour: Original 5 Napkin / Avocado Ranch – Five Napkin Burger, New York City

Our favourite thing to do when in New York City is to hunt down the city’s best burger joints and as long time readers will already have noticed, we’ve recently reviewed a few of them on the site. However, we decided to keep the best until last. This, burger fanatics, is the Five Napkin burger […]

World Tour: Bacon Cheeseburger – Great Jones Cafe, New York

If you are in New York City and craving a little slice of New Orleans, the Great Jones Cafe has just about everything you need. You’ll forget that you are still in New York City from the moment you step into this small cafe, which is likely around the same size as your living room […]

World Tour: Grilled Bonfire Burger – Todd English’s Bonfire at JFK Airport, New York

Here at James vs. Burger, the search for the best burgers in the world never ends. So even when we’re waiting around at airport departure lounges, we’re always on the lookout for our next review. On the way home from a recent trip to New York City, we spotted Todd English’s ‘Bonfire’ restaurant, located next […]

World Tour: Bacon Cheeseburger – Five Guys Burgers & Fries, New York

Recently voted as ‘America’s favourite burger chain’, business is booming at Five Guys Burger & Fries. With rumours of the much-loved US chain looking to expand to the UK in the near future, we had to see for ourselves just what all of the fuss was about and decided to stop by one rainy afternoon […]

World Tour: Double ShackBurger – Shake Shack (Theatre District), New York

Prior to this most recent visit to New York, we had never had the chance to visit one of the Shake Shack branches whilst in the Big Apple; however, since we launched James vs. Burger, many of our readers have e-mailed us and contacted us on Facebook and Twitter to tell us that we hadn’t […]
