HIDE Burger Bar

So Happy National Burger Day folks!

To celebrate we took our first visit to the HIDE Burger Bar in Derby...and impressed we were! 

Overall we were impressed with the burger...it was a special called the 'Double, Double, Double'. It consisted of 2 6oz beef pattys, double bacon and double cheese.
We were initially scared with the size of the burger...but we couldn't help but finish it off! The only part that let it down was the disintegration of the bun...we even took one of the epic burgers out...but the bun couldn't cope!

HIDE Burger Bar has a great vibe about it and has some good beer (we had a cheeky Samuel Adams). 

Overall great atmosphere and definitely somewhere you get a lot for your money...recommended...maybe just ask for extra napkins! 

So we mark everything out of 5 and then give an overall score! 

Presentation - 4
Burger - 3
Bun - 1
Toppings - 4
Sides - 4

Ambeience - 5
Choice - 4
Name - 4
Beverages - 4
Value - 4

Overall Score - 37

An Idea...

Hello Readers of this blog!

So a couple of months ago myself and a friend decided that our weekly 'Burger Night' needed an extra spark. We had a think about how many burgers we had eaten (I won't tell you how many!) but wondered whether we could come up with a rating system that would determine Derby's Best Burgers!

We discussed what we thought are the most important elements that make a burger great. Here is what we thought of...
  • Presentation
  • Quality/Tastiness of Burger
  • Quality/Tastiness of Bun
  • Quality/Tastiness of Toppings
  • Quality/Tastiness of Sides
We decided that these things all were major parts of creating a good burger...which got us thinking more creatively. We also really wanted to rate other elements that make eating out (especially burgers) more enjoyable. It is my pleasure to also announce a 'Part 2' to the rating system....

  • Ambience
  • Variety of Choice
  • Name of Burger
  • Variety of Beverages
  • Value
 Our rating system is now complete and since discussing our ideas we have undertaken the difficult decision to go out in to Derby...find burgers...eat them...and rate them!

We started the blog as a possible way for others to see what we think of Burgers (and maybe even persuade them to go and try them for themselves!).

Hope you enjoy reading (and try not to drool over your computer!)
