Apple's Burger Blog
I love burgers. This is a record of my burger eats for posterity, for when I inevitably die of burger related disease and/or obesity. Enjoy Apple's burger reviews, enjoy burgers more (responsibly of course)
Let this be a tasty warning. Enjoy !

Original Patty Men
Digbeth, Birmingham
-
Purpose: Burger assessment
-
Good for: Hiding from shopping
-
Verdict: Hidden down a back street not far from the Bull Ring, OPM is a little slice of Hoxton in the Midlands. Similar look and vibe, not a bad thing by any means - underneath the arches. Burger was a bit of a letdown, nothing really wrong with it - just a bit formulaic maybe. Looked good in a sloppy way when it arrived, good bun and salad, meat and cheese a little tasteless, and the burger sauce too similar to other offerings. OK chips and a nice selection of beers and ciders. I feel like I should be more impressed, probably going for the non-standard burgers would deliver more satisfaction.

Gourmet Burger House
Cleveleys, near Blackpool
-
Purpose: Burger assessment
-
Good for: Practicing crying ahead of another 2 point loss to a massive Super League side
-
Verdict: In an effort to escape the brokenness of Blackpool, a side trip to have a burger seemed in order. In an unassuming shop fronted almost café, a little gem. It's not perfect, and probably the opposite of the Original Patty Men, but it just works. The burger patty was a bit flat - excuse the pun - flat top grilled, so no flame flavouring and a lightly industrial texture, but the rest was really nice resulting in a really good burger delivery. Everything tasted or what it was, cheese, salad, sauce, and came together well. Great crispy fries, small seleciton of beer/wine and a freiendly environment.
