So we had lots of posts on Aberdeen's best kebab, but none on the equally important topic of the best burger.

For me, a great burger has to be proper meat (not the greyish patties you get in burger vans in car parks), it has to be juicy (and not the super dense brick-like patties you get in most pub chains), they should not be full of gristly bits, and the flavours of the toppings and the meat should blend well together.

So far, I found very few that meet these criteria. I was impressed by Bangin burgers, but they were sold through a hole in the all during COVID times, and I don't think they exist anymore. My current favourites are Flakes Diner (not expensive, juicy, great taste even though and the meat is halal I believe) and Six Degrees (even though in the ones I tried the flavours didn't come together as well as they should in the two burgers I tried -- and the place is so cold inside in the winter, brrrr).

Aberdam was great initially, but I've been disappointed recently (very gristly, even though I still like the taste). Brewdogs I was disappointed by too, especially considering the premium price (super dense not-juicy patties, and the sauces didn't fit the taste of the meat that well). Freshmex was a bit salty and the meat was dry, but I'll give it a second chance soon.

Are there any other great places I am missing?
