Like ridiculously good.
Burger in the new Hudson Rooms gastropub place there was lovely but prob too big. Tank of a burger. Place is no more a pub than Eddie Rockets tho. Was hoping for a man-creche with footie and pints. Had pints at least. Think it was very pricey on the food too.

Also, Noah bistro next door gets all their burgers made there and sent through a hatch.

Family think my burgers are the best.
Butcher grinds out 10 x 1/2lb bags of topside beef which I use/freeze till required at a time.
I then mix meat with stuffing I get from same butcher (basically breadcrumbs, onions and a few herbs)
Bind with a bit of beaten egg
Can add in 'extras' such as chilli, garlic or whatever you fancy if you wish
Roll up into a ball and slap down on a sheet of cling film, place another sheet of cling film on top and press to wahtever thickness you desire with a placemat
place a bowl over almost finished burger and make circular movements to round it off
As its good quality meat it can be then cooked as rare or well done (never) as you like. I like to sear in a pan first to get good colour then finish in oven ( often with a slice of mature cheddar melted on top)

Honestly the thought of a rare burger with the bun disintegrating and juices oozing down my arm is not all that appealing.Profit before people.

1. More space, and outside space too.
2. Nicer area to live in.
3. Cheaper and bigger than anything in an area I'd like to live in Dublin.
4. Better place to bring up a kid most likely
The only drawback is a biggie though, a longer commute into Dublin. Living somewhere near a trainline that has regular services to Connolly and onwards is a must.
