I've no idea if peanut oil is safe for me or not, but I'm not willing to take the chance. It's amazing that in this day and age where food allergies are highlighted much better they make such a big deal of using peanut oil.

Wowburger is well worth a visit, as was Generator in Smithfield, but I believe it went massively downhill. If anyone is near Stoneybatter I'd definitely recommend Chili Shack, great burgers, even better onion rings, large portions of everything and ridiculously cheap. They have one in Galway too that's just as good.

He spent around a year travelling the world with a view to researching and putting together the ultimate burger. They mince high quality meat on site daily (hence the ability to serve rarer). The bun is a specific Jewish type of bread he found in New York. He piggy-backed Heston Blumenthal’s work on the optimum type of cheese. I could go on. So for someone to say “ah my chipper is better” is just patently ridiculous. It isn’t. How can a cheap processed patty made in some factory for the lowest price possible be better?

Twice I got a burger in there and could tell it wasn't seasoned that's a basic thing that makes a big difference and I just don't see the point in going back when it's not cheap and I could do better at home.
