Danny Malin: 'I thought I’d had my fill of burgers in Yorkshire but this place surprised me'
In his weekly column for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Danny Malin of YouTube’s Rate My Takeaway talks his high and lows in the world of burgers.
National Burger Day passed me by because everyday seems like burger day when I’m filming. There are smashed patties everywhere.
When it comes to burgers on a BBQ I like cheap burgers, none of the fancy stuff, just a cheap box of 20 from Bookers does our family party right. That’s why I gave £1 burger in Blackpool a solid 10 because it was value for money. I also think that’s why Smash and Dash at the Packhorse in Huddersfield sold out on their first day - people love cheap and cheerful.
Wow, it melted in my mouth
When it comes to choosing burger places for a treat, there are several places that continue to excite me.
My top place of all time is Digins Hut in Saltaire. For £25 I had The Steaky One burger, a chicken wrap, the Dirty Mac fries, and a Crème Brulee doughnut. Wow, well worth the price. I’ve had an amazing dirty cheese burger at Subs and Suds in Wakefield.
Back in my home town of Barnsley I love Get Smashed by Stallones, it’s in what used to be a fish and chip shop serving up pizza calzone boxes.
It’s a Rocky-themed takeaway. I tasted the cliff-hanger burger, chicken loaded fries, and an Italian-stallion pizza - all for £26.48.
Smashed and Pulled on Abbeydale Road in Sheffield has bang on gourmet burgers.
Weirdly another place I now love going for a burger is Brazilian Rodizio restaurant- Estabulo.
I’d never normally order a burger there instead of steak on their new menu but wow it melted in my mouth. Instead of The Flat Iron I had Estabulo’s Truffle Cheese Burger and wow.
