Used to make myself some serious burgers when I worked in the wimpy in Chelmsford megabowl. Half pounder, bacon, egg, and a bender thrown in for good measure
If you're ever tempted, DON'T get the veggie burger at MacDonalds or Burger King or any of the places that specialise in the meat variety, they are universally vile vile vile, the meat guys simply don't get it for the Vegetarians.
I used to work wimpy in Dartford before it became Burger King. Used to make some awesome burgers for lunch break.
If desperate then a beanburger platter at Wimpey is a far better choice than Veggie ones at MD's or Burger King. Simply refuse the bread, as the chips will do the carbohydrate thing for you.
Remember going to Saturday morning pictures and their being a clown giving out vouchers for free burgers. It turned out to be Ronald McDonald and it was the day it opened.
One of my school friends got his Saturday job in there. I'd go in and ask for a burger and walk out with enough flood to feed a family for a couple of days. He didn't last very long in that job
I concur with Five Guys. All ingredients are local and fresh, it's true they have no freezers on site.
Spent a bit of time figuring out the recipe, it's pretty easy to do a five guys burger at home. The hardest bit is finding the gourmet sesame seed rolls. Thank you marks and spencer.
For anyone interested in trying this, I highly recommend it-
Get some 20% fat ground beef. Ball it up in 3.5g balls Flatten with a frying pan Indent the middle Fry (they use peanut oil but I can only find walnut oil) Oven cook some bacon Get gourmet rolls Put your sauce of choice on top half Put lettuce etc on bottom half Aim to have a taste of every topping on every bite Serve two patties per burger. Cheese goes in between the two patties.
Thought this one was pretty decent at the time...........
Many years ago, playing Sunday morning football, one of the lads in our team had an Alice band, bloke on the other side said to him, you're more ham burger than Patrick. Of course we didn't let him forget about it.

Used to be a place on Wellingborough Road, Northampton thirty years ago that did proper char grilled burgers in the days when that was unheard of. I don't think I have tasted better since...
Honest burger, brixton way ahead of Meat Liquor or Burger & Lobster. Not tried Goodmans or Hawksmoor (and would have a steak at either of those places anyway). Patty & Bun is meant to be very good.
Wendy's were by far the best "mass market" Burgers.
Non-uk, then it has to be Burger Fuel in New Zealand with Kumuri fries. Absolutely smashed it.
Best UK I've had, has to be from the mad bloke on chapel market, Angel. A Deep Sea Diver for one of the best burgers I've had, ran Burger Fuel a close second. PeteF will back me up on that!
