Hold The ‘Cheese’ on This Excellent Vegan Burger – Freddy & Hicks at Platform – Glasgow

A really great veggie burger is a hard thing to come by. Only one that I’ve ever eaten has made me not think about how I’d rather be eating a juicy cheeseburger instead – the $6 Superiority Burger in New York City. Even the much-hyped Impossible Burger was a huge let down. I’m always wary […]

Tiny Dancer’s Tiny Sliders are the Best I’ve Ever Eaten.

The closure of the Arches back in 2015 hit a lot of Glaswegians pretty hard. Our city also lags behind so many others when it comes to street food. Platform has recently revived the much loved Arches space. It may not be a nightclub and it may not technically be street food since it’s located […]

THE STEAK DIARIES: Côte De Boeuf – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

The first time I ever tasted côte de boeuf was in the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow many years ago. It was quite unlike anything I’d tasted before. It was near-perfect in appearance with beautiful charred grill lines and buttery-crisp edges. It was soft too, despite being as thick as a hardback novel. I […]

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 […]

Royale With Cheese / Fried Chicken Burger – Bread Meats Bread West, Glasgow

Bread Meats Bread’s west-end location has been open for business for a few weeks now and after attending the launch night, I decided to leave a few weeks before popping in for the real dining experience. The menu is bigger, the restaurant is bigger, there’s plenty of booths and a bar too. This is, essentially, […]

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 […]

Vegan Burger – Steak, Cattle & Roll, Glasgow

A vegan burger at a place called ‘Steak, Cattle & Roll’…how good could it really be? The name of the restaurant alone doesn’t exactly scream ‘COME IN!’ to people who don’t eat meat. You’d be forgiven for thinking that, in a place like this, a veggie burger would be an afterthought on the menu. A […]

Cheeseburger – Byron, Glasgow

After what has seemed like an eternity, Byron have finally arrived in Glasgow, bringing their brand of “proper” burgers with them. In a city that’s already filled to the brim with burgers, I had to wonder going in whether they’d be able to stand out above the already stellar offerings in our city. Inside, the […]

Camemburger / Californian – Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Glasgow

Gourmet Burger Kitchen isn’t exactly new. It’s been serving burgers in Edinburgh and other parts of the UK for some time now, but with Glasgow’s burger invasion in full swing, the chain decided to open up shop – right next door to Five Guys on St. Vincent Street, no less. The burger wars are definitely […]

Pork & Buckfast Burger – The Arches Cafe Bar, Glasgow

I had never set foot in the Arches Café Bar until very recently. In the past, I’ve been in the Arches for gigs and being scared silly during Alien War, but never for food. To be honest, it was never a place that was on my ‘burger radar’; however, when I recently heard about the […]
