Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

I am squeamish about raw mince, wouldn't have been able to eat that. I'm getting fed up of trendy burger places, but I realised it had all gone too far when I went to bubbledogs.

People queue round the block for that place and both the food and the concept is diabolical. Most of the people queuing were wearing a trilby and glasses with no lenses.

I like lamb and beef pink, but draw the line at pink mince.

I obviously have no imagination, as I would never be able to put together a concept of hotdogs and champagne as a business.

Or even visit it.

Steak tartare?

There is mince and fresh minced steak. One should IMO never be rare.

Otoh I want meat and redder the better almost all the time ATM. Steak tartare doesn't do it for me though.

Thanks. I reckon I've just about seen it all now. :rotfl:
And regarding the burger the word isn't "squeamish" it's "sensible". I'm just hoping the meat was steak and served before anyhing could be growing on it. The whole concept's a disgrace though. It's not just that they need a better ambience than a fast food outlet, they should be at least as safe, that's all we ask.

Actually, I'd probably like a 'gourmet' hotdog and champagne. Depends what gourmet means. They say 100% British meat,...what else makes them gourmet? Any more welfare info?

I've seen some interesting crossover ideas. My friend who lived in New Orleans used to take his laundry to a laundromat, but it was also a cocktail bar, as the Americans have realised that most laundromat users are young bored and single.

The greasy spoon caff near my old house used to convert to a Chinese takeaway at about 5PM when the daytime customers were fed and cleared off and the evening customers were looking for takeaways.

Price?

I prefer steak medium-rare, but it gives me cramps about 2 hours later. Mince I'd rather have cooked through.

They were certainly not gourmet. Supermarket equivalent.

Just been to a fancy burger bar in town where the burger looked so bl00dy inside I could only eat it by looking away from it.

Wish I'd asked for it to be well done instead of medium. :eek:

It's all very trendy and I'm sure it's high quality meat but if they're just going to slap it raw onto a bun I'd rather trust my luck with a fast food burger or one from a greasy spoon caff.

I'm not a real burger fan but I went to this place in the summer, on the demand of friend. We drove completely out of the way to get there on what was already a three hour drive but but and Oh. My. I had the onion jam one and it was the nicest burger I have ever had by a clear mile. Nothing like a burger I've had here. I can almost taste it now. The bread was totally different - soft, warm, perhaps a bit like Brioche? and the juice was dark, almost caramelised and soaking into the bun. I've been craving one for weeks.

I'm not sure if I'm happy I went or sorry that I'm now tormented by that burger. If anyone goes to Seattle, do not miss it!
