We've been excited to come here since the day we started this thing and now we've been, we're even more excited to go back. With over 30 burgers on the menu, this is really THE place to be.
We got to Annie's at about 12:15pm and the place was already heaving. The atmosphere of the place was really good - the music was fun and you could just sense that everyone was having a good time. After a while of flicking back and forth through the menu we finally settled on our choices.
First of all, I have to mention how good the Jolly Rancher cocktail was. If you love cherry and/or lime flavours, you have to try this. I have no words. It tasted just like pop so you could easily get through 10 of them.
Let's start with The Johnny Vegas. A patty topped with crispy bacon, warm toffee apple butter, Lancashire black pudding, sweet chilli jam and a homemade mini Guinness™ jelly doughnut on a stick. It was good. Really good. ~Everything just worked so well together. The patty was packed with flavour and with it being so big, you got different elements in each bite which was amazing.
(If you thought that sounded good, just wait til you read about The Buffalo Ranch.)
Fried chicken that KFC can't even touch. It was so good. Juicy chicken, full of flavour and even more flavour in the skin. Smothered in Buffalo sauce and ranch, topped with pickles and red onions. It also came with a side of blue cheese sauce which I swapped out for creamy mayo, sorry not sorry. I couldn't stop eating this, even when I was full.
I could go on forever about how good both of these were. Even the fries kicked ass. If you couldn't tell by the score, this is the best place we have ever ate. The portion sizes, the customer service, the venue, the atmosphere really pulled everything together. We're so excited to go back.

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

Our Order River Phoenix £9.50 (Double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestrings onions, Frazzles, red chilies, Redneck BBQ, Bacon Bacon mayo, Smoky Bacon Ketchup) DTF £10 (Extra thick juicy patty, double American cheese, bacon, wonder onions, smoky bacon ketchup, dijon mustard, peppered mayo, pickles) Chilli Cheese Tots £5.50 (Tots, cheese, beef chilli, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapeno, onion) £25 8/10 After struggling to find Almost Famous on the Saturday, we were sure to find the place on Sunday. We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

#40 Yard&Coop, Manchester

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
