We Made the World's Best Burger
We set out to make the Best Burger in the World - and to find out if it could survive the toughest food critic in Britain, Jay Rayner.
After months of research across three countries, we tried some of the world's most acclaimed burgers, including the burger voted the best in the world, to figure out exactly what makes a truly great burger.
From 55-day dry-aged bee* and the perfect burger bun, to American cheese, Red Leicester, champagne-braised onions, smoked bacon, pickles and a seriously good burger sauce, we tested every element before combining our favourites into one ultimate burger.
Then came the moment of truth: Jay Rayner tasted it.
Did we actually make the best burger in the world?
