Meatwagon Mugging.

Agree. Never understood the desire to take a lovely bit of meat, then mince it up, and stick it back together again.

If I want a beef burger (which I don't very often), I will go to Burger King or Maccas. If I want to spend some cash on good beef I'll buy a steak.

There something of the EDF hipster > mass market > not hip anymore happening here? Like those certain beaches of Thailand, Glastonbury and probably parts of Hoxton in 1989, it was all great until it was somehow decided that lesser sophisticates had got in on the act.

Instead, I'd like to write something sensible and intelligent about once good businesses losing their way when confronted with ?? signs but I'm on holiday (staycation in rainy Lochinver hipsters).

There is a finite amount of air you can get in a balloon..

Over inflate it and it will burst..

Yeah MrBen, I liked their first album before they sold out.

Oi Mr Ben as a regular of Glastonbury it just gets better and better - stay away from the Pyramid and the Other Stage and go with the right mindset and hope for reasonable weather and there's still nothing on earth to touch it. When you're tired of Galstonbury you're tired of life (or too old).

Yeah and food is food is food.. With all respect Mr Fox that's poppycock. Yes fat is important for taste but that doesn't mean that cheap burgers are the tastiest.

On the subject of good local burgers, went to the Victoria in Peckham Rye in the week and it was a beaut (chorizo scotch egg starter wasn't half bad either!)

I was there Sunday too.

This thread got me back to the Rye on Thursday. Two pints of ale and a cheeseburger and an order of onion rings. ?16.80 all told. And what had been a horrible, awful, no good day started to brighten wonderfully.

Whatever a Meatwagon burger does to my neurotransmitter balance (with the ale playing its important part of course), I like.

This is a Burger...

Finally made it to The Rye (very small baby makes life tricky sometimes) and had glorious burgers. But I see this is a 'summer eesidency'. Anyone know the sad date for packing up? We're off on holiday for a fortnight and I think we may have made it just in time to wave goodbye.
