The Burger Thread

May have already been mentioned, but this is a great addition to the kitchen utensil cupboard for anyone making home-made burgers:

I love bone marrow

I've never knowingly eaten it! What would it bring to the burger? They scraped it out and finely chopped it before adding to the mince.

Yes! Purchased one of those last year! although I might go for a hand job on my latest attempt

I've never had it in or with a burger. Just one it's own on toast.

Inspired by this thread and this programme from 1m 55 sec in http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b089b5dw/the-hairy-bikers-comfort-food-6-classics I have ordered 2 kilos of chuck steak which Canhams are going to mince for me, and also ordered some bone marrow.

Will follow their ingredient guidelines and hopefully it will be a wonderful burger!

You know you're duty-bound to report back how it went.

I know where you took that pic. It brings back happy memories.

Ok I am not sure if this can be answered here, but me and old friends have been trying to remember one of the first out of town Burger Bars this direction, Saltdean, Peacehaven etc., so any help would be great.

It must have been 1981'sh and we all used to pile into our cars and race down to the lights at Rotthingdean heading towards Brighton from Peacehaven and turn left towards the sea, park up near or next to The Coach House pub we then enter a nearby restaurant (it might have been a Thai/Chinese) and go down the stairs to a little hatch where we could order and pick up burgers of our choice, I seem to remember they were quite nice but we just cannot recall the name, if you are of that era and location maybe you can let me know, thank you ??

Gannets roost?

I worked in the kitchen and waited at The Coach House in the mid-80s.

Decent pub, pretty sure it still does licensing hours though ...

Had a similar thing but only makes small burgers so I switched to a meat press which makes bigger burgers and can also be used to make terrines.

There's a bloke in another thread moaning that Albion supporters being middle-class. What do you reckon?

Sorry - should have decribed it as potted meat which is much more working class!

Whopper with cheese.

 

[clippedgull]

Progress..so far

Gannets roost?

I think you're right, I was expecting a more Americanised name, but yes Gannets Roost seems to be correct, been boring people with this conundrum for years !!

Just for clarification you did need to go down some stairs to it, after entering the restaurant ?

Reminded by 'The Usual' thread, there was a burger place in Victoria Road, Worthing back in the early 90's where I would always have their Chernobyl burger - a double burger with West Indian Yellow Pepper sauce and Jalepenos together will strong garlic mayo.

Can anyone remember the name of it? It was opposite the Wortax office where I think Star Kebabs are now. They did great burgers and it was run by a bloke called Marcus and they had a football video game in there to play while you were waiting. It all went downhill when Marcus' brother Roy took over when Marcus went travelling (I think) as he was a liability and screwed the business over.

Someone on here recommended Smoque at the top of Islingword a while back. I popped by to test out a burger, and won't be going back.
