Fat Hippo burgers, Cardiff: review

On May 23, 2022 by The Plate Licked Clean

Mowgli, Honest, Pho, Rosa’s: Church St has become a hub of the better chains. And now here come Fat Hippo. Starting in Newcastle in 2010, this is not an overnight success story but a steady expansion across the North before the moves to Wales, Birmingham and London. News of their Cardiff arrival was greeted with Read More

Ansh Burgers

Ansh burgers, Victoria Park, Cardiff

On November 16, 2020 by The Plate Licked Clean

Here’s a prediction, a happy one in this chaotic, miserable year: you’re going to hear more and more people telling you how good the burgers at Ansh are.  Ansh is Welsh through and through. Not just in name (‘Bite’), but the inspiration for each burger writ large. That sense of regional identity is explicit, from Read More

Bwydiful, Victoria Park, Cardiff

On February 18, 2019 by The Plate Licked Clean

Right, let’s get the name out of the way first. It’s Welsh. ‘Bwyd’ is food, and rhymes with ‘fluid’. Visually it’s meant to pun on ‘beautiful’ but you can see the problem, can’t you? It might work as a visual pun but not when spoken out loud; a word which tries to pun in two Read More

Hills, Brecon

On January 7, 2019 by The Plate Licked Clean

We start with a tight close up of a burger. Slowly we pull out and begin a slow-motion tracking shot, as a server picks up the plate and carries the burger to our hero. We cut to his dark eyes widening lustfully at the sheer size of the thing. He picks it up, admires it; he Read More

Burger & Beyond, KERB Camden, London

On March 9, 2018 by The Plate Licked Clean

I do so love the word smashed’. It’s everywhere, from the roll-my-eyes-whenever-I-hear-it-near ‘avocado’ (is there some edict preventing it being crushed or mashed or bashed or pulverised  just the once?) to the sub-moronic ‘bantz’ of hairy-handed dinosaurs and braying City boys. It’s enough to have your eyes rolling so hard you risk the structural integrity of your bony orbits. But it really is the word Read More

Burger Theory at Kong’s, St Mary St, Cardiff

On February 13, 2017 by The Plate Licked Clean

What’s pink and wrinkled and hangs out your pyjamas? The answer, of course, is ‘your nan.’ (© Cardiff University Rag Mag, circa 1983.) As an aside- what happened to rag mags? Are they Still A Thing, available as a scratch’n’sniff app with added VR functionality, or is their unfashionable comedy now deemed too toxic? Anyway. Read More
