Burger Brothers

Hos Brightons burgarbröder står tiden stilla

Första gången vi testade Burger Brothers var 2017, när de nyligen hade fått utmärkelsen Englands bästa burgare i en tävling. Då tyckte vi att de var bra (men inte bra), och sedan föll de faktiskt lite i glömska. Under vårt senaste besök i Brighton var det därför dags för ett besök, och i den lilla lokalen i North Laine kändes det litet grand som att tiden stått stilla. Väggarna var prydda med samma utmärkelser som förra gången, och i princip alla lovord var 10 år gamla. Själva burgarmenyn var i stort sett oförändrad, med ganska överdådiga skapelser rent ingrediensmässigt. Denna gång skippade vi burgarna med ruccolasallad och svamp och valde deras enklaste burgare; en Simple Jack med monterey jack-ost, karamelliserad lök, majonnäs och ketchup för 8,5 GBP (105 kronor). Vi beställde även pommes frites för 3 GBP (35 kronor).

Vi valde även denna gång att äta burgaren i en närliggande park, och när vi packade upp den möttes vi av en välbyggd burgare som såg väldigt rustik ut med sitt sesamströsslade bröd. Den var ganska liten trots köttpucken på 150 gram, prydligt genomborrad av en liten tandpetare. Både brödet och köttet bjöd på en smakrik upplevelse, även om bäggedera var ganska tuggiga. Men vi uppskattade den saftiga köttsmaken, och såväl den karamelliserade löken som ketchupen bidrog med en hel del sötma som band ihop smakerna. Burgaren hade enkla smaker och var mer välbalanserad än burgaren vi åt förra gången, och det var uppenbart att deras lokala och egenmalda kött höll hög kvalitet. Pommes fritesen var dessutom väldigt goda och matiga.

Burger Brothers serverar vällagade burgare, men det går inte att blunda för att tiden har sprungit ifrån dem. För även om detta var gott så fanns det inget nytänk här, och det kändes mer som en vällagad hemmaburgare än ett modernt hantverk.

In English

The first time we tried Burger Brothers was in 2017, when they had recently been awarded England’s best burger in a competition. At the time, we thought they were very good (but not that good), and then we kind of forgot about them a bit. On our latest visit to Brighton, it was time to pay them another visit, and it felt a bit like time had stood still in their small premises in the North Laine. The walls were adorned with the same awards as last time, and pretty much all the accolades were 10 years old. The burger menu itself was largely unchanged, with some rather extravagant creations in terms of ingredients. This time, we skipped the fancy burgers with rocket salad and mushrooms and chose their most straight forward burger: a Simple Jack with Monterey Jack cheese, caramelised onions, ketchup and mayo for 8.5 GBP (11 USD). We also ordered their skin-on french fries for 3 GBP (4 USD).

We again chose to eat our burger in a nearby park, and when we unwrapped it, we were met with a well-built burger that looked very rustic with its sesame-sprinkled bun. It was quite small despite the 150-gram beef patty, neatly pierced by a small toothpick. Both the bun and the meat were tasty, even though they were quite chewy. But we appreciated the juicy meat flavour, and both the caramelised onions and the ketchup added a lot of sweetness that tied everything. The clean flavours were more balanced than in the burger we had last time, and it was clear that their in-house ground beef was of high quality. The french fries were also well-cooked, tasty and filling.

Burger Brothers still serve well-made burgers, but it’s time is starting to pass them by. Even though everything was nice, there was nothing innovative here, and it felt more like a well-made home-cooked meal than a modern craft burger.

En riktig smakexplosion.

Burger Brothers i Brighton fick en hel del uppmärksamhet förra året när de utsågs till Englands bästa burgare. Det kultförklarade hålet i väggen har knappt ens en handfull sittplatser. Som tur var sken solen, så det var inga problem att ta med sig vår burgare till en närliggande park.

Priserna var väldigt överkomliga, och vi beställde en Classic Beef för 6,5 GBP (cirka 75 kronor). Den innehöll en skiva ost, plommontomater, ruccolasallad, senap, relish, svartpepparmajonnäs och karamelliserad lök. Resultatet var en riktigt maffig burgare som serverades i ett rätt mörkt bröd. Om vi ska vara ärliga så var vi rätt skeptiska inför den dressingindränkta skapelsen vi hade framför oss.

Tur då att smakerna verkligen satt där. Vi talar inte om några subtila smaker, utan här tog ingredienserna verkligen för sig. Köttet var smakrikt, om än något tuggigt, och svartpepparmajonnäsen krävde verkligen sin plats i rampljuset. Det var lite överväldigande att få så många smaker på en och samma gång, men slutresultatet var ändå väldigt positivt. Vi hade gärna sett ett mer traditionellt bröd som inte försökte stjäla vår uppmärksamhet, men detta var onekligen en röd tråd i måltiden.

Burger Brothers serverar förvånansvärt bra burgare som precis når upp till en fyra i betyg. Skillnaden mellan dem och toppskiktet i London är dock avsevärd, och de är verkligen inte bäst i England.

When Burger Brothers in Brighton were awarded ”England’s Best Burger” last year, we knew that we had to visit them. The tiny restaurant only has a couple of seats, so we ate our takeaway burger in a nearby park. The Classic Beef (6,5 GBP) with cheddar, plum tomatoes, rocket salad, mustard, relish, black pepper mayonnaise and caramelised onions was a real beast of a burger. Served in a dark bun, the mayo covered creation didn’t really impress us looks-wise. Thankfully the flavours really hit home. The meat was a bit chewy, but tasted excellent. And the mayo really packed a punch without taking over. We could have done with a more anonymous bun though, since everything else was so overpowering. Burger Brothers just make the 4-star grade, but make no mistake; they’re not even close to the best burgers in England.

Bar Luca is a cool and loud bar just a stone’s throw from the Opera House in central Sydney. They have been going viral for a while with one of their campaign burgers, which now has a permanent place on their menu. So when we were there, it was the obvious choice. The burger was called Blame Canada and consisted of a single beef patty, American cheese, maple syrup-glazed bacon, maple syrup aioli, poutine and fries inside the burger. The price was 20 AUD (14 USD).

Our burger still looked pretty good when it arrived, shiny from the maple syrup and with a patty with a decent crust. The beef tasted fine, even if it was a bit burnt in some places and would have benefited from a looser texture. The crown of the bun was a bit squashed, but it still held together surprisingly well and tasted great. The bacon was also unexpectedly crispy, and we liked the nice and flavourful maple syrup glaze. But it was very sweet overall with all the maple syrup, which literally dripped from the burger. This made the whole burger really sticky and quite difficult to handle – even if it also meant that we ate the whole thing at once. The fries that were under the patty itself were very soft and completely lacked crunch, probably because they were steamed by being placed directly in the burger. And we would have really preferred a bit larger cheese curds in the poutine, as the texture was a bit unappealing.

Blame Canada sounded very interesting on paper, and we can see why the burger has gone viral and become so popular. And even if everything was alright, it had too many technical mistakes to become a real favourite. But if you are in the mood for a sweet and sticky burger while listening to some loud music, Bar Luca is there for you.

Royal Stacks is a Melbourne-based burger chain that was founded in 2016 after their founder Dani travelled to the US and got a healthy dose of inspiration. They are still expanding, and currently have more than 10 restaurants that are decorated with plenty of well-known pop culture references. The five beef burgers on the menu are clearly inspired by Shake Shack, but with a slightly cooler attitude. We ordered a Bacon Bacon; a double burger with cheese, caramelised onions, double bacon, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 23 AUD (16.5 USD).

Our burger looked good, but we were a bit worried about the large amount of ketchup that was piled on top of the bacon. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by how well the ketchup tied the flavours together, and the sweetness and intense tomato flavour really made their mark here. The beef patties were tender, tasty and well-seasoned, but the bun was a bit too soft and should have been toasted a lot more. Fortunately, it held everything together well, so it wasn’t a big problem. On the ingredients front, the cheese provided a welcome creaminess, and we also liked the strong dill flavour of the pickles – although we would have preferred them to be thicker sliced and to have had more of them. They were already gone halfway through the burger. The bacon was a bit too soft and would have benefited from being crisper, but despite the slightly pale appearance, it was cooked pretty well. The caramelised onions were also a bit too soft, and we would have preferred raw onions here for a more interesting texture. Overall, the burger had well-balanced proportions, although everything was a bit softer than we would have liked.

Royal Stacks is a nice Australian fast casual chain that serves well made and affordable burgers in a cool environment. They are definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in Melbourne.
