You are a saucy little thing aren't you?

This time I tried the Spicey Chorizo Burger. After my first time trying Smash Cow, I wanted to take my second experience a little slower. However, once I slowly opened the packaging the aroma hit my nose. Different smells coming at me from every angle. First the freshly baked bun and then smoky, garlicky, paprika of the chorizo. At this point I was ready to commit a sin. I slowly parted the bun edging closer to the holy grail, I took a long inhale which sent shivers down my spine. Carefully lifting it to my lips. I whispered God forgive me for what I’m about to do. With one bite my mouth was in overdrive. The heat from the sauce just perfect, The garlic from the chorizo, The beefiness from the burger. Loudly moaning I took another bite. I had made it! I had finally found happiness in a burger. I really wanted to take it slow but as per normal I didn’t last long. Leaning back in my chair with sauce dipping off my beard. I wiped my mouth with a tissue muttering “That was amazing”. The heat and flavour of the sauce was still present in my mouth. Oh, my saucy little thing, I will return for you!

When it comes to fast food, a lot of people claim that McDonald's has the best fries. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but they are wrong. Burger King is better; however, Wendy’s are better than burger king. Then you throw Five Guys fries into it and that tops them all. Then came along Smash Cow. Why do this to me! I was happy with Five Guys fries. Your chucky, perfectly salted skin on fries are what dreams are made of. Best fries I’ve tasted.

Again, the meal was amazing. It filled the gap and more. I’m really worried where our journey is going to take us…….. gastric band or heart...

I've had Smash Cow twice and both times the taste has been great, can't fault the quality of meat and the fries.

The 2nd time the patty was a touch on the dry side but I defiently don't expect an entirely pink centre from a thin burger.

My only gripe was time only because I thought that thinner burger were quicker to cook. I recognise the size of the units in Lock29.

Price wise, well I don't eat out often enough to have an honest comparision, but I'm only interested in the burger so cheesy fries or something doesn't really appeal to me.

I do recommend a visit though.

Edit (20/12/2021): I went to Oxford, ended up at "Five Lies", and WOW, what horse feed. I've revised my rating of Smashcow on the basis of actually having fat (thus flavour) in the meat. I haven't the foggiest idea why people still choose these big companies that produce such terrible...

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to the Great Wall of China, I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt, I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But until today I have never experienced a burger like that. Wendys, Five Guys, In&Out, Sonic havent got nothing on what I've just tasted. Oozing with meat juice. The bacon was crispy and hard. Bun was nice and soft. You can tell I'm excited by this. My only regret was not taking a photo of it however don't know if I would have been able to upload it as it would be NSFW.

Fries are the best in town as well! Unlike other fast food joints i actually feel like I've eaten a decent meal! I will return and will need a new belt in the future

Overall that was a...
