Build Your Own Burger – Tribeca, Glasgow

Whilst out and about in the west end of Glasgow, you’ll probably have seen a bright yellow New York City taxi parked on Dumbarton road. Don’t worry, you’ve not been transported halfway across the world – the car belongs to Tribeca, one of Glasgow’s most popular breakfast & lunch spots. We’ve been to Tribeca previously […]

Classic Angus Beef Burger – Ad Lib, Glasgow

Many consider Ad Lib to be the place that brought the gourmet burger to Glasgow. Many, many years ago, long before ‘James vs. Burger’ was even an idea, I still remember Ad Lib on Hope street being the first place that I ever ate a ‘proper’ burger, with my only other experiences at the time […]

Recipe: The Heisenburger

Like most of you, we love Breaking Bad. Quite simply, it’s the greatest television show ever made and we’re both excited and sad that it’s all coming to an end. To celebrate the finale of the most gripping piece of television ever to grace our screens, we decided that a tribute cook was the right […]

Cheeseburger-Crust Pizza – Pizza Hut

Described on the Pizza Hut website as ‘all of the fun, without the bun’, the cheeseburger-crust pizza, which appeared on menus overseas earlier this year, has now hit the UK. Earlier this week, the near 3,000 calorie pizza hit the newspapers and was panned (heh) by critics. We’re pretty open-minded here at JVB and didn’t […]

Pork & Chorizo Cheeseburger / Lamb Burger – The Curler’s Rest, Glasgow

Take a quick look around the Curler’s Rest and you’d probably never know that before becoming a quality gastropub, it was the bar of choice for many nearby Glasgow students, who were looking to purge on cheap burgers and £1 pints. Fast forward a few years and Curler’s has since built a reputation as one […]

Moroccan Rolla Burger (Takeaway) – Burger Meats Bun, Glasgow

Unless you’ve been hiding away at home for the past several months without any visitors, mobile phone or internet access, you’ve probably heard about Burger Meats Bun by now. The latest addition to Glasgow’s burger scene arrived with a bang back in July and had been the subject of much discussion over on our Facebook […]

Recipe: Double Candied Bacon Cheeseburgers

This indulgent recipe is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them. In fact, you’ll love the candied bacon so much that you’ll want to make extra, just to eat on its own! Warning, these burgers are so good, they’ll make you want to cry. INGREDIENTS: For the patties: 250g of lean steak […]

World Tour: Classic Trash Burger / Marquee de F*ck Burger – White Trash Fast Food, Berlin

Have you ever wished that there was a place where you could go to get a tattoo, go clubbing, have a few drinks and eat a pretty great burger all at the same time? If so, then White Trash Fast Food is the place for you. Even before you enter White Trash, the ‘Sorry We’re […]

Recipe: Lamb Burgers

We love a good lamb burger, especially when they don’t contain mint. In fact, the Moroccan lamb burger from Ad Lib on Hope Street, Glasgow is still one of my favourite in the city and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t tried it. We wanted to whip up our own lamb burgers at […]

Beef Burger – Sloans, Glasgow

Self-described as Glasgow’s oldest bar, Sloans is known to pretty much everyone who lives in our fine city. Tucked away down a lane, just off Argyle street, Sloans has an almost hidden-away feel to it. My parents, grandparents, friends and other family members have all eaten here, yet it’s somewhere that has dropped off my […]
