gkinbkk Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Now if "Timmys" opened up their chain here, that would be a good thing! Beats Starbucks coffee hands down! Is there a place that DOESNT make better coffee than Starbucks?!? Expensive hot milk is about the only way I could sum up a Starbucks coffee..... I know, not a coffee thread, but Suzuki coffee in Phloen Chit /Wave Place does great coffee and the McCafe flat white aint a bad thing either......Starbucks is junk.

SausageKing Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The Sausage king grade A burger breakdown = 100% Thai/French beef that been hanging for 6-7 weeks then minced with some secret ingreidents and no fillers or glutton. and sizes 125g-150g-250g at a very cheap price of 300/kg now thats worth eating. sk Sorry, but in my humble opinion, none of these (Triple O White Spot, BK, MOS, or whatever) even come close to a good burger. Witch's Tavern does a pretty good job, and The Home Run bar and Grill also makes a good burger. I am sure there are others, but the fast-food "burgers" are merely ground beef sandwiches, not good burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaFoods Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) For me, method of cooking is of equally high importance as meat quality. Where i come from, a burger just isn't a burger unless its "charbroiled" -- grilled over natural charcoal, covered for part of the time to get a nice smokiness - almost blackened on the outside, but still juicy on the inside. Of course, fresh fixins are also a must - basics such as fresh lettuce, tomato, and sliced onions...pickles for some folks.... are fine and dandy. But my personal fave fixins, being from Cali, are avocado (sliced not guac), crisp bacon, cheese, and pickled chiles (jalapenos or serranos). Heaven.

I can't find anything on google earth indicating a Nana soi 4, and also cannot find anything when searching 'The Tavern'?? Oh, as an aside... Even though the thread is over 3 years old.... White Spot burgers are called 'Burger Platters' for the most part. The Triple-O refers to the sauce. Not the burger. anal little git eh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is, breadcrumbs are for meatballs (and some sausages), but not burgers. A burger already had a bread component on the outside (the bun).

I am sure that's true... but... still.... there should be no breadcrumbs in a burger. I think it is a law... somewhere Meatballs, meatloaf, certain sausages and the like.... yes. Burgers, No. Breadcrumbs tend to make the meat more prone to falling apart on the grill. You get better cohesion using only the ground beef and slight seasonings. If you have the right amount of fat content in the meat to begin with, and cook it correctly, there is no need for breadcrumbs to artificially retain the juices.

It should be a law: No breadcrumbs in a burger or else! Use top grade ground sirloin or something similar, shape it in a burger shape, cook it over an open grill. Nothing more to do except add your favorite items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaFoods Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Remember, we're making burgers here, not grilled meatloaf. There are a number of burger recipes out there calling for breadcrumbs, but that doesn't make them "proper". In older times, people added breadcrumbs to burgers in order to stretch the meat. Many of those recipes floating around today are derived from a pre-1950 (or so) recipe. Today, however, it is not considered "kosher", so to speak, to do so (adding breadcrumbs, that is). Ground sirloin might be too lean for a burger - could end up falling apart on the grill and cook up dry (unless cooked on the rare side). You want 80-85% fat content for good cohesion and juiciness. Try some ground chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheese should be melting and falling out of the sides. bit of onion and toasted bun......the meat content should be 100% whatever good cut you choose. Best I've had was the Hard Rock cafe in London....black and blue burger.....or the Irish place behind Dam square.....only memorable burgers for me.

anilsoi11 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 on the topic of meatloaf, recently had one at Minibar Royal Deli at The Emporium. it was about 250baht for the set(sandwich, drink and desert). Also had the burger at Chokchai, in Paragon supermarket recently. the Burger was pretty good, the seatings wasn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSandwichKing Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 they moved just down the road and into soi nichada thani. they're still open. check their web site. My current vote goes to BBQ Sandwich King. Both the Coney Island Chilli Burger and the Uptowner burger are excellent. Sandwich King had a shop in Nonthaburi on Sammakhi, it has also closed down now.
