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 […]

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 […]

NYC Black Label Burger – Bread Meats Bread, Glasgow

Recently, as part of American National Burger month, Bread Meats Bread decided to create three special menu items over three weeks, each one being their own tribute to an iconic American burger. The first was their own take on In-N-Out Burger’s secret menu ‘Animal Style’ classic and you can read our recent review of that […]

Build Your Own Burger – Tribeca, Glasgow

Whilst out and about in the west end of Glasgow, you’ll probably have seen a bright yellow New York City taxi parked on Dumbarton road. Don’t worry, you’ve not been transported halfway across the world – the car belongs to Tribeca, one of Glasgow’s most popular breakfast & lunch spots. We’ve been to Tribeca previously […]

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 […]

The Big Mackie Burger / The Smokey Juan – Broadcast, Glasgow

As one of Glasgow most-loved gig venues and friendly bars, the Captain’s Rest has been sorely missed by many since it’s closure; however, the team behind the bar have returned with it’s successor – Broadcast, located on the busy Sauchiehall street – they’ve even kept the long-running ‘Captain’s Quiz Night’ going, that was popular among […]

Ultimate Burger / Chilli Burger – Kudos, Glasgow

Given that it’s located next to Central Station, the Financial District and many other nearby offices, it’s no wonder that Kudos was packed when we stopped by for a burger. It’s a bar that we’ve walked past many times, yet not heard a whole lot about the food. It was only after reading their menu, […]

Double Burger – WEST Brewery, Glasgow

Let me start this review by saying that I love the West brewery. I’ve been a fan of their own in-house produced beer for many years now and the bar itself is one of my favourite places to meet up with friends and family on a rare hot summer’s day in Glasgow. I love nothing […]

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 […]

Handmade Beef Burger – Lucky 7 Canteen, Glasgow

The sign on the door reads ‘Good Food, No Frills, No Fuss’ and that about sums up the Lucky 7 Canteen experience perfectly. Looking like the love child of a shabby hipster New York dive bar and an old western saloon, you’ll immediately feel like you want to spend hours in Lucky 7 just curled […]
