    Another addict here - I've been working on perfecting a pulled pork recipe for a few months now. Surprisingly hard to get right using a domestic oven.

    Getting sufficiently good though that the good lady has made no objections whatsoever to my plans for building a smoke oven in the garden :-D

    Used to live in Syracuse in upstate NY and the Dinosaur BBQ in town is a legend. Some of the best meaty goodness I have ever eaten. When the NY State Fair is on in the summer they set up there as well, with a smoke oven you could cook a VW Beetle in....

    Nowadays I've watch enough I've got a good idea if he'll make it or not.

    He pretty much has a 5lb limit.

    I think he did 7lbs once, but tat ice cream one was stunning - TWO GALLONS!

    This only works when you stick it under the grill to melt the cheese through....

    Man v's food is awesome.

    Pulled Pork is amazing, you can get a pretty good version in waitrose were they have done all the hard work.

    What's the current top recipe? We've been buying hand of pork from our butcher for pulling, & it's been a great success; be good to try an alternative recipe to the Ch4 Fab.BakerBoys' one.

    on the burger front, big beef burger thats been cooked on a nearly too-hot grill, so nearly chared on the outside but really juicy in the middle. Big mushroom, fried, lots of blue cheese and a little salad.

    One of my greatest ever burger memories was going into Ed's diner in Dublin in '98 when the TDF started there. I'd just watched France win the world cup in one of the Temple Bar bars so of course they were running around the streets celebrating. I fancied a burger with blue cheese on and by god if it wasn't the most fantastic thing i'd ever tasted. Fresh ground beef roughly hewn into a vague burger shape with proper chunks of semi-melted stilton on top.

    I tried to get the same thing in the London branch a couple of years later and it wasn't anything like the same, normal burger with 'blue cheese sauce' on :(

    The burgers at the OK Diners are great, there's one just down the road from me on the A5.

    The 10oz ones are lovely proper juicy beef. The plain cheese burger is lovely but the 10oz Big BBQ is my favourite. Small salad, ketchup, mayo, big non uniformly shaped burger, BBQ sauce, crispy bacon, cheese and onion rings. Heaven.

    The place is a bit kitch american diner, and the service isn't up to US standards but mmmmm.

    He's an example, not what I would have though

    As heard on Radio 2 once, Wimpy wanted to sell hot dogs, but for some unknown reason their bread distributor couldn't supply submarine rolls. So the had the great idea to slash the sausage and curl it round to fit into a normal burger bun.

    Rick, the chips are without doubt, the best "fries" I've had in this country. Skin on, nicely seasoned no need for extra salt, vinegar or ketchup. Bostin (as they say round my way).

    I must be in the minority because I don't think meat is at its best when it has been minced up....

    In general though, any burger with a decent blue cheese gets my vote!

    If you really want a shocker for minced meat Google "mechanically reclaimed chicken"

    Unless there is ABSOLUTELY NO ALTERNATIVE I will never never eat another non-fillet chicken product. Never.
