Double Pulled Pork Cheeseburger – Bar Gumbo, Glasgow

Whenever I visit family in New York, there’s a little place that I like to go to called the Great Jones Cafe which, in my opinion, serves up some of the best soul food in the city. Each and every time I leave that place, I always come home to Glasgow, wishing that there was […]

Recipe: Sweet Chilli Pork & Chorizo Burgers

This recipe is great for warm Summer days (when we’re lucky enough to get them in Glasgow!). The pork is slightly lighter than beef and the sweet chilli sauce, chorizo and red onion really lift the flavour. Enjoy this one outside, with an ice cold bottle of beer, cider or your favourite soft drink. INGREDIENTS: […]

The Big Mackie Burger / The Smokey Juan – Broadcast, Glasgow

As one of Glasgow most-loved gig venues and friendly bars, the Captain’s Rest has been sorely missed by many since it’s closure; however, the team behind the bar have returned with it’s successor – Broadcast, located on the busy Sauchiehall street – they’ve even kept the long-running ‘Captain’s Quiz Night’ going, that was popular among […]

All Burger’d Out?: Street Food Cartel 2 (Scoop & Lupe Pinto’s) – SWG3, Glasgow

It feels like only last week that we were posting our review of Glasgow’s first ever Street Food Cartel event, which generated much discussion over on our Facebook page. Due to the incredible success of the first event, we all knew that ‘SFC 2’ wouldn’t be far away. Fast forward a couple of short months […]

Return Visit: Customised ‘Greedy B’ Burger – Slouch, Glasgow

Our last visit to Slouch took place only a couple of weeks ago. Normally, we wouldn’t make a return trip so soon; however, this was a rather unexpected visit after getting together with some friends and family last minute on a Friday evening. During our last review, we highlighted that our main issues with the […]

Red Mist Burger / Black Friday Burger – MeatHammer Ltd @ Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow

It’s been a while since we’d paid a visit to Nice N Sleazy. In fact, until this review we hadn’t been in since we had presented Chef Andrew Yates with his award for best burgers in Glasgow for 2012, as voted by our readers. We’ve been following MeatHammer at Nice N Sleazy closely since then […]

All Burger’d Out?: Pulled Pork Sandwich – Brooklyn Cafe, Glasgow

At the corner of Minard road and Frankfort street in the heart of Shawlands sits the Brooklyn Cafe, which has been serving hungry customers since 1931. A favourite amongst south side residents, the cafe offers everything from full cooked breakfasts, to take-away sandwiches & rolls to burgers. Recently, they’ve also debuted a new grill menu, […]

The Jamie’s Italian Burger – Jamie’s Italian, Glasgow

Recently, a lively discussion on the burger at Jamie’s Italian took place on our Facebook page and seemed to divide the opinions of our readers. Some people seemed to love it, others not so much. We’d never been in the restaurant since it opened in Glasgow and since we thought that the burger looked pretty […]

Secret Menu Burgers: The Triple Bubba / The Duke – Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers, Glasgow

It’s hard to think of a food outlet in Glasgow that received more attention and got people talking as much as Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers did when it launched last year and went viral among hungry Glaswegians looking for the next great place to eat. It’s also hard to think of a place that has […]

Rebel Yell Burger / Sweet Child O’Swine Burger – Slouch, Glasgow

In recent weeks, we’ve encountered a couple of really great burgers on Bath street, namely the house special burger from Moskito and the Fat Pig burger from Palomino. Since we’re coming up on our first birthday here at James vs. Burger, we’ve been feeling all nostalgic recently and decided to head back to Bath street […]
