Want to try the best burger in Britain? Following National Burger Day last week (25 August), Burger Brothers, Brighton has been announced as the winner of Hellmann’s Britain’s Best Burger competition.
The independently owned Burger Brothers, which has a ‘cult’ following in the South East, beat stiff competition from five other finalists to win the competition, sponsored by Hellmann’s.
Thanks to its original and unique approach to its burger menu, Burger Brothers won over a team of judges led by popular burger blogger ‘Burgerac’, and owner of Burgerac’s Burgershack, Gavin Lucas. Judges assessed each burger menu against strict criteria including originality, quality of ingredients, chef skill, range of choices and customer feedback.
Nadz Nwokoro, co-owner and head chef at Burger Brothers, Brighton said: “We are so unbelievably proud and grateful to be awarded the Britain’s Best Burger title. For such a small independent company to be acknowledged by Hellmann’s is truly mind-blowing! We accept this on behalf of burger lovers everywhere, but special thanks to the people of Brighton and Hove! And Hellmann’s, of course!”
Gavin Lucas, the burger blogger known as ‘Burgerac’, and owner of Burgerac’s Burgershack said: “The Burger Brothers’ are a worthy winner of Hellmann’s Britain’s Best Burger competition. It’s burger excellence delivered by very nice guys on a street in Brighton. They don’t conform to any standard formula yet combine quality ingredients in a way that delivers pure eating joy. Its famous Benneton Burger is a great example of this because they slice the mushrooms and chorizo super thin and include just enough of every ingredient to strike a perfect balance. Looking forward to my next visit!”
The other finalists in the competition were The Grazing Shed (Cardiff), Annie’s Burger Shack (Nottingham), Meat59 (Torquay), Jam Jar (Newcastle), Burgers and Beers (Edinburgh).
Burger Brothers will now receive £10,000 PR support to help make it famous for their burger. Each finalist receives £2,500 of PR support.
