From its denunciation of vowels to its charismatic and tattooed waiter, Glasgow's latest burger joint BRGR shows all the signs of being achingly 21st century.
Customers eat in a canteen-style restaurant and feast on lamb, chicken or/and beef patties, with sides in the form of sweet potato fries, mac 'n' cheese and corn on the cob.
A novel concept at BRGR is its 'hawders' - sturdy paper scoops in which to place mammoth burgers to avoid disintegration and keep fingers clean.
The haiku
Slayed by cardboard claw,
Smoked onions admit defeat.
Who's crying now, eh?
Dinner for two including the Barbie - a beef patty topped with onions rings, smoked onions, pickles and lettuce - and the Shroom with a Pew - a panko-breaded Portobello mushroom topped with mac 'n' cheese sauce - costs around £30 at BRGR, 526 Great Western Road, Glasgow G12 8EL. @BRGRgla
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
