Recently we’ve lost a number of reviewers from the Glasgow Lunch Review - including Boydie who was one of the main instigators of this project. As such we’ve not been posting much lately about where to eat in Glasgow. I recently logged in and was taken aback by the comments that everyone has had on where we had visited in the past.

Every year when the sun shines for about a week and the girls peel back there duffel coats to revel there white skin I get the opertunity to cook.
My style of cooking is simply, prepare it and cook it, the BBQ code for beginners nothing fancy.
Now, I’m not a well known Scottish chef or even the person in my home that makes the dinner most nights but I can muster together a mighty fine burger, not had that many complaints over the years and I’ve never charged a dime for it.
Today, 9 of us from the office decided to try a new pub for lunch called Lebowski’s in Finnieston, it looks good, a bit trendy for lunch but worth a try. What a mistake that was, since waking up this morning Nick has been going on about getting a real good burger, he had us all enthus’d about getting this good burger. A quick call to some friends that have been before for a quick review and off to Lebowski’s we went.
Not a man, a way of life:
1 hour to make 3 burgers, is this acceptable? McDonalds can knock them out every 4 minutes.
So after such a long wait and patientions being lost should it deserve a harsh review? Well simply, YES!
Burger was under cooked, the wedges to my amazement where black on the outside and raw in the middle. They should make a youtube vid about how to do it, amazing. No condiments and then charged full wack at the end, the other table of guys from the office got comp’d a free round of drinks but they had been waiting an hour and a half and the same message is coming throught from them.
Sorry to say none of us will be back, simply not good enough for the £10 a head charged.
Time to call Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares.
