00:00LPEats, hello. Welcome to our first burger review. Now, we're on the way over to Tipsy

00:12Chef, the other side of Preston. I'm just down near the Union at the minute. So, heading

00:17across town to check it out. Really excited about this one because it's just so highly

00:20rated. It's got such a good reputation locally. The menu looks pretty good. I'm very excited

00:26about this. Happy to be moving away from kebabs and trying something a bit different. So,

00:31let's crack on and let's see what our first burger's looking like.

00:43Right, burger fans. So, you join us with me having just walked into Tipsy Chef. Now, the

00:49burger review is to come and don't worry, there will be plenty of footage of dripping

00:53burgers, you know, your classical food porn. But, let's do the review first. Now, the place

00:59itself, the venue, absolutely immaculate. It's one of those classic, kind of like up

01:04and coming, chic, dead modern, dead groovy, dead cool burger joints which you find in

01:09a lot of city centres these days. So, the vibes were really, really good. Cool music,

01:13cool people, friendly staff. Everything was immaculate. Every surface was dead clean.

01:17I feel like we've eaten burger patty off basically every surface in there. So, very clean, very

01:22kind of like cool and hip. That was the vibe in there. So, they get a 5 out of 5 for the

01:26vibe in there. Onto the food itself. Now, as you'll be able to see, the burgers in there

01:32looked incredible. Smelled good. Everything about them was just, this is brilliant. Let's

01:37get stuck in. So, to go into our first kind of category in this review, first thing we

01:42look at is the meat itself. Now, this was a smashed burger, so the burger patties were

01:46a little thinner than you'd normally expect from a classic burger. So, it didn't naturally

01:51have that kind of proper juiciness that you want from a burger. When you proper bite in

01:55and it's juicy, you get the seasoning, you get the meat, you get beefiness, you get chargrilled

01:59flavours, all these things. Didn't necessarily have that juiciness by dint of it being a

02:03smashed burger, but did have a really nice meaty taste. Did have a really kind of like

02:07distinct flavour. Yeah, very good on that front. Like I say, the only way I'm going

02:12to slightly mark it down is that it just didn't have that proper juicy kick to it, which does

02:17come by just the fact that it was a smashed burger. So, 3.5 out of 5 on the beef itself.

02:22On to the moisture of the burger overall, because like we said, the worst thing you

02:26can have when it comes to burgers is dryness. You don't want dry bread, you don't want dry

02:30meat, you don't want dry anything. So, the moisture in this thing was amazing. It's 4.5

02:34out of 5. The sauce was contributing, the dead mustardy, dead tangy, dead flavourful.

02:39The burger itself, while like I say, it wasn't flooding your mouth with moisture or anything

02:44like that, it wasn't dry. So, it was nice, it was good. Lots of melted cheese on there

02:48as well, that was also a nice little addition. Salad was quite fresh and kind of cut into

02:52the meat itself, the warmth of the meat itself with a bit of coolness as well. So, that was

02:56really good. So, yeah, moisture 4.5 out of 5, that's always good. On to the extras.

03:01The sauce on this was very, very nice. I will say that the kind of overwhelming mustardy

03:07nature of the sauce did slightly detract from the beefy flavour, which you're really looking

03:11for from a classic burger. So, slight mark down on that front, but they do get plus

03:17marks on two main fronts. Obviously, well three if you include the sauce just being

03:21nice, just a little overwhelming. The other two were, the salad was very nice and the

03:26tomatoes didn't do that thing which you hate when you take a big bite of a burger, you

03:30pull away and half a tomato comes back with it and you're stringing, you're fighting

03:32with it, it drops down your white shirt. Well annoying. To be honest, this didn't do that.

03:36Don't know how they managed that, but they didn't do it. It was great. The other thing

03:40is that there is bacon crumb on the sauce as well. So, that was a nice little thing

03:44as well. That was a different texture, that was a different flavour, that was a bit of

03:46zinginess as well, which was very welcome. So, they get 3.5 out of 5 on the sauces. I

03:51might have been a little harsh there, but I'm sticking with my score.

03:54Finally, on to the value of the burger. It cost me £9. That was just for a burger, which

04:01burger and fries, it's Simon and Garfunkel, strawberries and cream, you've got to have

04:04one or the other.

04:06Hi guys. I don't know what that guy's talking about. I said Simon and Garfunkel, you've

04:10got to have them together. I mean, poor Simon was quite successful on his own. So, had to

04:15interject. Apologies for the slip of the tongue. Back to the review.

04:18That's how it goes. I don't make the rules. These are the unimpeachable kind of twins

04:23in the food world. The good ones have got to come with the other and this was just a

04:26burger and it's on. So, I felt that it was on the more expensive side for just a burger,

04:30but I've got to say, it was a seriously good burger. Like, I'd genuinely go back and get

04:36another. It was very, very good. So, the value is a 3 out of 5 because I felt like for that

04:41kind of price, you probably would want to chuck some fries in there as well, but it

04:44was really good. So, I'm compromising. I'm compromising. That gives Tipsy Chef a total

04:49score of 19.5 out of 25, which is a very healthy start to our new season of Healthy Eats. So

04:56yeah, thanks for watching. Hopefully, this will have got your mouth watering. Give us

04:59some recommendations for places you want to try and go and check out Tipsy Chef because

05:04I don't think you'll be disappointed in the slightest. Cheers.
