    Gourmet burgers. Already, before I finish this sentence, one of two things is happening: 1. You’re suddenly feeling hungry, and juicy, or 2. You’re discovering that you have something called hackles, watching with a sense of distant horror as they rise, spluttering at the indecency of something so prosaic as a burger – a burger!…

    One of Ireland’s first gourmet burger chains will shortly be going out of business.  Real Gourmet Burger had large shops in Dun Laoghaire and Ballsbridge in Dublin, and it’s a shame to see yet another Irish business close down.  The gourmet burger model has often been debated here, with many people being violently against the…

    There’s some days where a gourmet burger, overpriced and bereft of inclusive chips as they are, can really hit the spot. Tuesday was one of those days, so I stopped off for a gourmet burger in Dun Laoghaire on the way to the Forty Foot for a swim.

    The controversy about the pricing of gourmet burgers rages on, if only inside my own head. A friend and I had dinner in the Gourmet Burger Co in Ranelagh on Sunday evening, and while the food was good it struck me as a little overpriced.  The cheapest burger was around €10, and the chicken burgers…

    Just because it’s got a cocktail stick in it, does not make it a gourmet burger. Nor does its impossibly large size: too big to eat without a car jack holding your mouth open. So what turns an ordinary burger into a “gourmet” burger? For a start, the cow should have been massaged on a…

    Here’s one.  The gourmet burger chain Jo’Burger has had to stop offering rare and medium-rare burgers to its customers after the HSE warned them off.   Gourmet Burger Company in Ranelagh received a similar warning, and their letter to the Irish Times about it appeared in the paper today. The HSE’s position is that consumers could…

    Anyone who says the words ‘I’m not going to get drunk tonight’ AT THE SAME TIME as drinking a series of large martinis (ingredients: neat vodka!) is clearly a genius.  And when a genius has a raging hangover, they deserve to be brought somewhere good for a curative lunch. This was the state that our…

    Do I look fat in this blog? All week it’s been burgers this, sweets that, fish and chips the other. But my gluttony has been strictly rationed, with each week receiving its fair share, so just in case all those trolls out there think there’s lots of meat on me – there isn’t. The junk…

    I hardly ever go out for lunch these days because I just can’t afford it. We may all be sick of hearing about all things recessionary, but the reality of many is that the financial situation isn’t getting better. But wait! You cam still go out and have a yummy, filling lunch that doesn’t set…
