Another place that was recommended by the blogging community for food in Manchester was Almost Famous Burgers. Although I was still quite full from dinner I knew that I couldn't pass up a burger and fries. The place was quite dark and gloomy but very trendy with graffiti on the walls, metal pole room separations and even a giant gorilla.
The menu is limited but you are bound to find something you like if you are into meat, specifically burgers. I went for a River Phoenix burger which was a double cheeseburger with bacon, bbq fried onions, frazzles, baconnaise, chipotle ketchup, redneck bbq sass and chillies but I didn't have the chillies! Matt went for the Butter Blood and Bleu burger, a double cheeseburger with rare flatiron steak, chorizo, chillies, grilled onions, peppercorn and bleu cheese sauces and mustard mayo. We accompanied these monsters with a mix of normal and sweet potato fries.
These burgers were outrageous, both very juicy and full of flavour. The combination of stuff, although piled high and hard to get your chops around, were exceptionally well put together with great complementing tastes. I cut mine in half to tackle whilst Matt decided to get his knife and fork out. Our fries were sprinkled with a bit of spice and when I asked for ketchup they only carry spicy ketchup. There was no relief for me!
I wish I had had more room to finish my burger as I made a poor effort. It was a great burger joint that I'd revisit but it still doesn't knock my favourite off the top spot.
Have you been to Almost Famous Burgers? I hear they've opened in Leeds too!
