Simply the Best Burgers at Brew, Beers & Ciders (B190-290)

This Daniel Thaiger collaboration goes back to basics, aiming to recapture all that was good about old-school American fast food. The patties are made from prime cuts of Aussie wagyu and angus beef, nestled between local breadmaker Conkey’s steamed potato bun, which hold up admirably to the winning combo of gooey Cheswick cheese and garlicky Thousand Islands-like sauce. Available as double, triple and quad stacks in classic (B190/240/280) and BBQ (which adds bacon, jalapenos and a tangy BBQ sauce, B200/250/290) forms.
Available at G/F, SeenSpace, Thonglor Soi 13, 02-185-2366
