Never thought I would find better than the McDonald’s Big Mac. Till I recently discovered the Big Mac Grand.

Featherblade bearnaise burger is pretty special.

Went to Bunsen yesterday, it was amazing, pisses all over anything I've had in Dublin.

Bunsen serve Coke & Heinz ketchup. You won't catch me darkening their doors. I get my ketchup from the farmers market and make my own cola.

The mcdonalds double cheeseburger is smaller than most other burgers I think though.

that is why I buy 2. With the touch screens you can customise and get extra stuff, extra pickles, mustard ketcup but also lettuce and mayo. A slice of tomato is 20c. The burgers are 1.6oz, 1/10th of a pound. People love to bad mouth mcds, but I bet if they went to a friends/relatives house and were served up an identical double cheese burger with all the extras they would be praising them.

Yeah bunsen need to up their sauce game alright.

I have to agree, there is something very satisfying about 2 double cheeseburgers with bacon and a large fries.... I think its the the onion that really does it for me.

Its no bunsen, but it certainly 100% has a time and place!

Went for the first time on Saturday. The burger was good alright, but the bun was not sufficient for the mess of the double cheeseburger, it ended up soaked through and dribbling everywhere.

The chips leave an awful lot to be desired.

I would definitely not get a double. The only time a double burger is worth getting is in mcdonalds.
I liked the chips, we got both types. But the wife wasn't too fussed with either types.

Wow Burger for me with toppings of Cheese, onion, pickle, ketchup and mustard.

skibum · 21-03-2020 2:54am

After having to close down our family run pub on Sunday, and spending the next couple of days sorting sh1te out with our suppliers etc ( who have been amazing ), Dealing with our insurance company, who are wiping their hands saying we are not covered for business disruption because none of our staff have covid-19..... I had to drop some documents into our bank in the city center, got there early, "call back in about an hour" they said, at this time I was seriously hungry, headed to the work mans to get a WOW Burger, they were closed like most businesses, headed down dame street, 90% of places closed, pub's getting boarded up etc, saw Bunsen was open, happy days

:pac:
went in and ordered a double cheese burger and fries.. Hungry b@stard, I know...
Burger meat was excellent, seriously moist and juicy, bun didnt make it, it fell apart, think the heat /steam from the meat was too much for the bun.
Chip's, sorry fries were ok, no complaints there...
Coke zero was served as a can and a glass, no ice....
Waitress was polite and efficient
Overall meal was spot on, bit pricey, but would have preferred to have had a WOW burger......
having said that I would eat here again

If there's no meat it's not a burger. IMO discussion of non-meat burgers should be banned in this thread.

Have I started something here. Is a burger not just something an object that is eaten between two others. A hamburger would be what you're describing.

There were a few arguments a few times a few pages back. I don't know what others in the thread think but when I go for a burger I want meat.

This thread is supposed to be a thread for recommending places to eat in Dublin City, while most of the meat free burgers mentioned have been in shops.

Mod: Vegan stuff is best suited to its own thread*. No point in having some sort of off topic, semantic argument that would mainly derail.

some places are doing takeaway, some who usually do not do takeaways.

Some restaurants are not permitted/licenced to do takeaways and Varadkar said he would be looking into this, i.e. to allow them to.

Kerb kebab place in foxrock is now doing takeaway.

Bunsen are too (not sure if they did before?)

Unless you can eat then quickly or nearby I can't imagine Bunsen burgers are going to be nice if they are left sitting in a delivery bag for 20 minutes.

Burgers never travel well and chips are if anything even worse .

I suspect we are going to have to start making our own burgers for the next while.

Where could you buy a good reasonably priced mincer

If you don't want to fork out for another gadget that may take up space and get little use then you can just cut up meat finely yourself.

I do this with chicken fillets to make chicken burgers and they come out great, the chicken is already tender enough that you do not have to cut overly fine so its quick enough. If you just stick a fillet in a bun it is very uneven to eat, I like a good uniform burger and mix spices throughout.

I have not done it with beef but will now that I have time on my hands!

The Nal · 25-03-2020 6:53pm

The Tesco 18% fat mince is fine. Bit of oyster sauce for salt and you're sorted.

What spices do you use in a chicken burger? Any binder needed?

sorry missed this. I use garlic granules, salt & pepper, "italian herbs" mix, and maybe paprika or chilli.

I have used potato starch to bind before but do not bother now. I have metal plates I use to put the meat on and squish together, I then turn it upside down and it stays stuck and place it on the pan. I do not touch it at all, the steam escaping cooks the top a bit and it seems to bind fine all on its own. If you were messing about with it then I expect it might fall apart. Tin foil could be used instead of the plate, or that thicker foil trays you get with meat or with rice from a takeaway.

Flipping is the trickier part. I sometimes use a spatula, lift the burger and turn the actual pan upside down or vertical and gently place the burger against it. If flipped like a regular burger it might break, but usually in 2 or 3 bits so no big deal, just stick it in the bun, some takeaways would have 3 bits of separate chicken in burgers anyway.

*And don't be a smarty pants and say I can go hunt a cow, render it down, rest the meat it in a cedar smoke house for 21 days, ground the beef and mix it with ciabatta crumbs, salt from the plains of Peru and pepper from a Zoroastrian tribe.

I haven't ordered from that location to be honest but give them a bell first, just to be safe. They are definitely doing collection though according to their social media.

Can't bate something hot and handed to you, preferably with a beer :rolleyes: If I have to wash one more dish...

Bunsen is definitely on my post-isolation hit list! Homemade burgers are nice, but they're just not the same.

Have you checked the burger thread in the food forum? there was a link in this thread.

There are videos of them making burgers in various takeaways on youtube, I have seen a few bunsen videos and they show their cooking methods which make a huge difference, it might not be identical but certainly makes a huge difference compared to the typical homemade burgers I have been served up over the years. e.g. bunsen use the smash technique to some degree, and steam the upper bun. Its very easy to turn a 5/10 burger into a 9/10 burger at home, with the exact same ingredients at hand.

Bujo do the burgers over flames on hot BBQ grills, so I would not expect to be able to replicate it with their kit, they only give the instructions if you buy the kit.
