Real Burger World

[Biddlybee]

He had bacon and blue cheese, and has had many a burger in his time. I do have a photo at home.

http://www.spudulike.co.uk/ is like the web, but 10 years ago

That is the burger picture from the GBK website ^

It looks small and crap for £8.
Also food is rarely served as well as the menu photo.

I could easily make something as good as that with less than £2 of ingredients.

it looks like a burger tbh

An £8 burger?
I would pay £5 for it at most.

 

[fractionMan]

I hate paying more than 5 quid for a burger. It'd have to be made by belgian nuns from wagu beef to cost more than that.

and a little aubergine?

Can you pay retail rent, rates, employ staff and sell it for £2?

No you can't.

 

[paolo]

Burger completely soggy and far too big, onion rings, way overseasoned, corn on the cob - flat cold. £20

Onion Rings and Corn and the Cob comes to £6

Burger cost £14?

No you can't.

Why would I do that when I just want a burger?!

GBK et al are all chain shites that charge way too much for mediocre food lapped up by trendy twats.

Burger Junction is where it is at. Right next to Ashford (Middlesex - Surrey if you're a pedant) station is where it's at. Apart from one I had in Queens, Burger Junction is da bomb.

Burgers in the UK can't compare with the ones I've had in the States. I've had good burgers here, but nothing that comes close to the ones over there.

I sometimes work in Ashford, Burger junction is rarely open.

Still want to try the InAndOut burger

The thread is about restaurants.

The thread is about restaurants.

Ingredients <£2.
labour time <£1 (As it will take minutes to make due to them being done in a batch)

That's quite a mark up to cover various overheads...

 

[London_Calling]

Not much in the way of overheads running a restaurant business in London either......

My local curry house charges a tenner for wine that probably costs £3 retail. They must be millionaires.

Better than crap fast food BK or McD versions but nothing special. They're exactly like burgers really. Their chips are fantastic though.

I used to work at a Pizza place and recall a taxi driver picking me up after shift and bemoaning the 1000% rip off mark up that pizza sellers make. I told him to take me home for the price of the petrol alone or shut up.

making money from a restaurant isn't as easy as people seem to think

It is like that diamond you purchased for the cost of a spade and a map

Not generally the most entrepreneurial of environents here, is it....

bromley would have squatted the building, found the ingredients in supermarket bins, set up a co-op workforce, syphoned the utilities from the Starbucks next door, told the customers to bring their own seats and claimed tax was against his religion

 

[London_Calling]

And it'd be a BYO, with toilets in McDonalds down the road, non-industrial kitchens in the bathroom, no Public Liability cover, zero elf and safety certification, untrained staff and a freezer cabinet brimming with out of date meat.

My best friend charges £2 a scope for a scope of ice cream that he gets from around the corner for 99p a tub. If anyone just bought that he would be a millionaire, probably like the owners of Gormet Burger.

In and out is good, but I prefer Wendy's, especially the baconator. If you move away from burgers to general fast food than El Polio Loco and Taco Bell are fantastic. I still maintain despite the burning that it's very expensive compared to other burger chains. I could get a burger as good as the one at the top from a local cafe for £3-£4 and they have toilets safety certificates etc, like perfect pizza, which I rate lower than pizza hut (may have set myself up again there!) it's down to clever marketing.

Proper burger.

 

[Sunray]

I was Supervising stewards in Camp Bestival, one of my Stewards tells me about this burger van called Byron. Never heard of it at the time. He goes on to say it was probably the best burger he'd ever eaten.

So I ate one and I agreed with him.

Shockingly expensive. Very delicious.

That looks good Sunray. Did an order from the website and damn pricey. There is one that just lunching distance from my work. I will try and feedback. You have built this one up a lot so may get sent the bill.
