Deep Fried Tofu Burger – El Perro Negro Pop-Up – The Hippo Taproom, Glasgow

Nick Watkins, aka El Perro Negro is known for his burgers. In fact, he’s regarded by many as the guy who makes the best in Glasgow. His burgers only currently appear at pop up events which sell out almost instantly and he’s currently working on securing a permanent home of his own. His previous burgers […]

Rib-Eye Burger – Porter & Rye, Glasgow

It can be hard finding a last minute table in Finnieston on a Saturday night; however, with burger cravings setting in, we decided to head there in a taxi and do the impossible. Walking through the door at Porter & Rye, my hopes appeared to be dashed as the restaurant was, understandably, completely packed. I […]

The Hutchesons Burger – Hutchesons Bar & Brasserie, Glasgow

Hutchesons is, without a doubt, one of the most stunning locations in Glasgow. As you first walk into and experience the grandeur of the upstairs brasserie, it feels like a world apart from the warm, cozy, jazz bar vibe of the cafe downstairs. But that’s exactly why I love Hutchesons – you can pop by for […]

Cheeseburger / Soft Shell Crab Burger – McPhabbs, Glasgow

I have a confession to make: I had never been to McPhabbs before prior to this review. There’s no reason why it’s taken me so long to finally visit. I just hadn’t ever gotten around to it and there were usually other places that would leapfrog it on my list of places to try whenever […]

Meat For The Beast – Where The Monkey Sleeps, Glasgow

Have you ever left the house for work, arrived and then realised that the lunch you spent time making the night before was still sitting in the fridge at home? Well, that’s what happened to me on Friday last week. Rather than go all the way home to get it, I decided to make the […]

Brel Burger – Brel, Glasgow

Whenever there’s a heatwave in Glasgow, you can be certain that pretty much every bar with an outdoor seating area is going to be absolutely jam-packed with people. During our recent visit to Ashton Lane, Brel was no different. We had reserved a table a couple of days prior to our visit and luckily for […]

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 […]

Pork & Chorizo Cheeseburger / Lamb Burger – The Curler’s Rest, Glasgow

Take a quick look around the Curler’s Rest and you’d probably never know that before becoming a quality gastropub, it was the bar of choice for many nearby Glasgow students, who were looking to purge on cheap burgers and £1 pints. Fast forward a few years and Curler’s has since built a reputation as one […]

Secret Menu Burgers: The Triple Bubba / The Duke – Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers, Glasgow

It’s hard to think of a food outlet in Glasgow that received more attention and got people talking as much as Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers did when it launched last year and went viral among hungry Glaswegians looking for the next great place to eat. It’s also hard to think of a place that has […]
