Every so often, usually after a few beers, the topic of where to find the best burger in Bangkok will be raised. It is a popular topic among Ex-pats and one that is bound to result in some heated debate. While the outright winner often comes down to personal preference, the burgers at "Fat Gutz Saloon" invariably make the short-list for many.
As I had a bit of a hangover this morning and a hunger for something greasy, a burger seemed like just the tonic, so I made my was across town to try out the "Fat Gutz Binzy Beef Burger". I had not eaten one before and was eagerly anticipating it on this balmy Sunday in Bangers. At 400 baht or about $12, the burger isn't cheap, but I wasn't after cheap, I was after good.
There is nothing particularly fancy or unique about the burger they serve, it is simply a homemade beef patty dolloped with fat onion rings, cheesy cheddar and their own home-made spicey ketchup. The beef patty was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of beef flavour and fat, which meant that it crumbled without falling apart. It was seared on the outside yet still moist and a little pink on the inside. The bun was dense and just a little sweet. The cheddar contributed to the flavour without being overbearing, as did the fried onion rings. A little bit of fresh tomato and lettuce rounded it out. Overall, the blend of the burger was just about perfect. I must admit, I was pretty hungry so I devoured it without giving it too much thought. It was served with a side of home-made Fries, which were also pretty good.
So is it the best burger in Bangkok? I'm not sure, but I can say it is far from the worst. For now I will put this delicious little treat in my top 5 of burgers and get back to you after I've sampled a few more of the competitors.
