    Gotta say a large fries puts me off the meal. A small handful as a dressing on the side is plenty for me.

    A small handful of fries and I would never be back.

    And that is perfectly fine if thats your thing. What I was pointing out that 5Guys , thats their speciality, and they dont seem to do it in the Irish ones.

    Not Dublin but Burger Bear in London is excellent.

    Still haven't been to Bunsen.

    what would people recommend as cuts of beef to use to make a homemade burg?

    edit: with a nice fat ratio of something like 20/80

    Thread this way!

    Short ribs and brisket basically. Oyster sauce instead of salt, won't draw out any moisture.

    Probably technically not a "traditional" burger but the Juju Burger in Izakaya gets my vote, it's amazing. Very thin slivers of beef in an Asian sauce. Next time I got i'll be ordering two. Also their cocktails are great.

    Thats great news, Bujo do great burgers but Sandymount is just a bit out of the way in for a lot of people. Is there any indication of when the Central Bank might re-open?

    First tenant openings expected in early 2020 going by an Irish Times article from May (below), I'd be shocked if that's the case now, doesn't look anyway ready.

    Yeah I would have thought there is a good few months of construction left there yet. It will be some venue on the top floors when it is finished. We really are in a golden age for the varety of eating out and drinking in Dublin at the moment, there has never been more choice and it feels like new venues are still opening up all the time.

    I had this on Saturday night. One of the nicest burgers I've ever had. That place is pricey but the food is top quality. We got 2 for 1 drink vouchers for the bar downstairs too. Great spot.

    My "regular" burger vote would go to Bunsen

    Back in Bunsen Thursday night off Grafton. Double cheese burger, if you haven't had it in a while. It's very very special.

    Devastated (well, relatively speaking) to see that Bread and Bones in the Italian Quarter has closed. Their chorizo-infused Pandero burger was one of my all-time favourites. A sad day.

    Really? I never thought so. Thirteen or so euro for an excellent burger with chips seems pretty standard.

    Ive eaten in it a few times and it was nice, their kimchi fries were savage.

    But it was never busy. That place should be a goldmine, looking at all the other restaurants in that strip, it was always the quietest.

    I'm a student and have usually found myself their at off-peak times. But, yeah, you're right - they did seem to attract much fewer people than places nearby, like Mad Egg.

    It's a shame. They posted a silhouette to Instagram of their head chef, who they said had been there since the beginning hammering tables together. And thanked their family for being with them through the ups and downs. Very sad when a project like that fails.

    Bao buns seem to be very expensive around dublin for what I find. Seems to be premium sandwich prices for what is in effect a small dish.



    I make them at home and are far far cheaper. Wish I didn't have to however.

    You can sometimes get them on special offer in M&S, if there's any Asian food promotions on.

    They never once promoted themselves properly. The one time they did a pop up for In-and-Out it was jammed around the corner they also suffered from not knowing what they were

    Mad Egg= Chicken burger, Koh=Thai, boojum=burritos, bread and bones ? no idea and this is from someone who walked past it daily for years

    Maybe. But, tbh, I can’t ever remember seeing the places I go to promoting themselves. It’s pretty obvious it’s a burger/wings/bbq type place.
