Hi there, (put ‘National Burger Day’ somewhere near the top for SEO purposes) remember the B-52’s 1989 hit single Love Shack? Of course you do, you wild party animal. Well, see below, I’ve composed a new version.
I’m headin’ down the Smallbrook Queensway
Lookin’ for the meat getaway
Headed for the meat getawayI got me a mouth, it’s as big as a whale
And we’re headin’ on down to the Meat Shack
I got me a gut, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your burger moneyThe meat shack is a little old place where we can get together
Meat Shack, baby
Meat Shack, baby, Meat ShackRepeat until bored
Good right? I’m willing to write jingles for any food / drink provider in the West Midlands in exchange for free booze, food and cash.
So, burgers is it? I like a burger, I’ve even spent three of the last four years running pickle eating competitions at Mr Hyde / Street Feast’s National Burger Day Parties. What I’m getting at is – yes, I’m a high flyer in the burger world.
Moving to Birmingham I was slightly concerned about not finding anywhere decent, having tried Buffalo and Rye a few months ago and being left VERY disappointed. I was excited to hear about Meat Shack and seeing everyone on social media saying it was like properly good.
So, I went, and for once, social media was right.
I had the buffalo blue burger and some onion rings, despite onions doing funny things to my arse – a price I’m willing to pay to provide you with top blog content.
The burger was superb, the Franks sauce, blue cheese dressing and candied bacon crumb all worked so well together that it’s giving me the right horn just writing it down.
The onion rings were fantastic too, perfectly crisp and with onion salt added to give my bowel a real good going over.
Congratulations to everyone involved, well done, ten on ten, in other words:
x 5 out of 5
Want proof that I’ve eaten burgers before? Weird, but OK, check it: here and here.
