00:00My name's Jack Marshall, I'm with Lancashire Puffs and I'm here today at Foo in Preston
00:07to present them with the award for the best burger in Preston following our LB Eats series
00:12looking for the very best burger in the city. I'm here with Wazim. Wazim, congratulations.
00:18Thank you. Welcome. So I came down to Foo. I've never heard of it before. I was really
00:26pleasantly surprised by how stylish the restaurant is, how cool the vibe is, and then the food
00:30blew me away. So let's talk a bit about what makes a good burger in your eyes.
00:34So the main thing whilst we work with Preston is to make sure we have a fresh burger. All
00:38our burgers are made fresh, they are black, I guess I would agree. There's a mention
00:42of foils, they've got a very specific pattern of the beef, they're how we do serve them.
00:46We tend to make sure that consistency is key. Somewhat, you know, the spine of the burger
00:50is the muslim way of serving a burger. And especially, probably the best Irish food you could get.
00:56It's not a difficult part of the process. There's no meat that could be elsewhere.
00:59So the main thing we've had to ensure is that consistency, and it's fresh, and it's fast,
01:04as well as it would cause it to be very appetising.
01:07I think that's something which really stood out in our fanbase. It was like, everything
01:11about it was done, like, synthetically really well. It was like, good ingredients, good
01:16quality of cooking, good, like, beef. Like you say, everything about it was a classic
01:21burger. It hit the spot on everything like fasting. So if someone in Preston is looking
01:25for a burger, and they're thinking, should I go to Boo, what do you think they'll get
01:28here that they won't get anywhere else?
01:30Well, still, like, Boo's have been quite an important, small demographic. So what we're
01:33trying to do, you see the setting here, which, obviously, we have the option of burger clapping.
01:37It's trying to make it different kind of spot. So you'll see here, it's quite, like,
01:42I'm certainly going to have a coffee. It's safe to also have a burger. So our burger
01:46is quite varied. So you can pick your freedom, really, but the Big Boo.
01:49Yes.
01:50We've also got a lot of the burgers on the A-star, Big Boo, and the Chicken Boo.
01:54Chicken Boo is our chicken, fried chicken burger, but it's a bit fresh. I think it's
01:58got a very unique spice and marinade sauce, and what happened there. I don't really eat
02:01the body of the chicken as well.
02:03Yeah.
02:03As well as that, we've got a few good side options. So the bun, the steaks.
02:07Yeah.
02:07And obviously, we do really good lunches as well. So again, all freshly prepared. So
02:11anyone can press the fries out, and you'll find that you'll have a good varied choice
02:14of burgers, and you'll also have consistency with the idea of which fries are different
02:19each time.
02:19Yeah, 100%. I think something else that stood out to me was the, again, the fries, or the
02:24Ziggy fries.
02:25The Ziggy fries.
02:25They never had anything like those before. That's a totally different new concept. I
02:29absolutely love those. So having the idea that I know...
02:31So the Ziggy fries are one of my popular, late-job popular fries. And you have the
02:34Rooster's fries as well. The Rooster's fries, again, are my personal favorite.
02:37Yeah.
02:38They're a skilled fry. The Ziggy fries are very popular. It reminds me of my childhood.
02:43Right.
02:43I think it was Ziggy Fries or Burger Fries.
02:46Yeah.
02:47But we also have a nacho cheese option, which means that people have a nacho cheese as
02:51well. So that's why the Ziggy, people enjoy it.
02:54Yeah, as well as the cheese and the Ziggy fries, it's all in there. It's a cranny as
02:57well.
02:57You say it's brilliant. Nice one.
02:58Do you have a favorite thing on the menu? You've got an incredible menu here, like
03:01I mentioned. You've got a few standard options. Anything that's your favorite?
03:04My favorite is straight away this one. If you like what I'm saying, I'll be pleased
03:09with the best. I think, of course, what we can add to the menu for a meal, if I get
03:13what you're saying, it's our chicken grouper. The chicken is very, very popular. I think
03:17our, yeah, good food used to be chicken. And there's fries as well. And we find a lot
03:21of people buy the chicken grouper quite often, especially with the orders.
03:24Yeah. It's excellent. Nice one. Well, thank you so much for talking to me today. It's
03:27been a pleasure. Congratulations again. Best Burger in Preston. Here's the man behind
03:31me. He's just talked us through everything. Thanks very much.
03:33Cheers.
