Ulysses G. Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 What makes a good burger? The owner HAS to be American. However, fish and chips takes a Brit, Aussie or Kiwi to do it right! I've had burgers in many countries georgie and the best by far was a small shop in Parnell Auckland called "Al and Petes". Their steak egg and cheese burger was second to none. The best burgers I've had were in Australia - Crow's Nest, Sydney. Beet root on burgers really works. As for Chiang Mai, Mike's gets my vote so far, but I've yet to try lots of other places who do them... most of the small fish & chip/burger bars in NZ do beetroot as well.Infact,mcdonalds even came out with one called the "Kiwi Burger" almost made our kiwis extinct!! what a way to drag down one of our best cusines- the lettuce all sliced up and using cheese slices, give me a real burger any day over MacDs Actually, many Americans don't think of what MacDonald's or Burger King or other fast food outlets serve as "hamburgers", they serve Whoppers or Big Macs or something simular to a hamburger, but with their own corporate twist; You make the real thing at home usually and you don't put mayonaise or thousand island dressing or sliced up lettuce on it. Shredded lettuce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Chiangmai Saloon. Seven different burgers to choose from, all of them charcoal-grilled. Tried Duke's once, the burger didn't come as described (avocado on menu, no avocado and when I asked the server said they were out of avo, which would've been fine if they'd told me when I ordered, could've chosen something else), buns were limp. Service quite slow, and I was the only customer in the restaurant, mid-afternoon. Too many negative factors for a second go ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT65 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 What makes a good burger? The owner HAS to be American. However, fish and chips takes a Brit, Aussie or Kiwi to do it right! If you want good fish and chips in Chiang Mai there is an Aussie guy who has a shop in the Loi Kroh Boxing Beer Bar Centre up from the Saloon. Its called Dannys. The fish and Chips is excellent but they open late around 6pm or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Dannys too. Its only a small takeaway place but the Fish and Chips is excellent. They are now doing small pizzas as well. The burgers are okay but the patties are a bit small, but still okay value considering its Ozzie Beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the Greeks if you live in Oz. I haven't a really great burger in Cnx but most are adequate. You are right about Mike's their buns let them down. I won't go back there for a while. In his defence it is a hard to get a good burger bun in Cnx especially to get one that is big enough to fit a decent sized burger. Don't forget McDonalds to remind you look somewhere else.

They have always made their own breads and as I recall, their hamburger was large and delicious.

Yeah, it's nice, but there is no room to roam around I'm afraid... Because of my physical problems (can't really walk well), and because I live alone, everything here is designed for me, so there isn't but 50 cm of walk space between the pool and plants.. Sorry about that... Ajarn is a great cook; Might be able to do better than hamburgers.

Way back when, Easy Cafe had some of Chiang Mai's best burgers ever, and it was run by an Englishman ( I'm pretty sure that there was an American soldier in the wood-pile though).
