Glasgow Lunch Review http://www.glasgowlunchreview.co.uk Simple yet elegant - completely unlike us.

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.

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.
