    Bangkok Burger Factory - Ekkamai Soi 10

    Went today and the place sucked so bad that even pictures showing how bad it sucked weren't taken.

    The kitchen has a big window so you can see inside as you walked in. I noticed a 12 pack of Foodland buns on the counter.....I should have taken the hint, turned around and walked out....

    The good parts:
    They make a nice bloody mary (170B). The onion strings appetizer (135B) were good with their tartar sauce.

    The bad parts:
    The staff didn't get my order right (bacon cheeseburger with mayo, mustard, pickles and onions) but instead just did their mass produced burger directly from the menu.

    That really pissed me off as I can't fucking stand ketchup on my burger. Yet both buns were coated with the devil's blend when my burger arrived and topped with lettuce and tomato with are simply too healthy to adorn a burger. I said "Fuck" very loudly.....

    However, instead of asking the waiter to go get his fucking ticket and read back to me what the fuck I ordered, I passively sat back and consumed the burger as it was presented. I thought, "Who knows, perhaps the chef is right?"

    The chef was wrong...the Foodland bun was tragically over tasked to keep up with all of the grease and double layer of ketchup and mayo the burger offered. After two bites, the bun was in such a condition that I had to resort to using a knife and fork to finish the meal.

    The patty had so much pepper in it I could just barely taste that it was made from beef.

    All in all, I wouldn't recommend it anymore. It's pretty sad because I talked to the owner just after it opened and I figured it would be a success. It's another place that fallen to mediocrity.

    I'm enriched with the thought that I don't require a burger [and related cuisines] for survival.

    You keep posting different burger threads. Why don't you do a Burger Review thread and stick 'em in one place?

    Obviously staff/chefs change, but what's the best burger gaff at present?

    You can go on first name basis around here? Who is 'Jeff"?
    I have tried a few places out as well as making my own. I like to have a mix of beef and pork in the patty with a little garlic pepper and salt.

    Who are you? It makes sense to put them all in a Burger Thread. Good job on the reviews.

    Doesn't change the fact that a motherfucker looking for a quality burger is more likely to find it if all the info is in one place. And let's face it, burger info is fucking important.

    Having quality ingredients/product and knowing how to create a final product are two different beasts...

    Doubt it is either.

    This place smacks of a typical thai hiso shit head thinking they can run a farang food restaurant, and making the usual mistake "Looks good so must be good". Ahhh no. Just because their food looks good in selfies does not make it good.

    Pile of shit - sorry for the OP for falling for this nonsense.

    If you like your burgers CFF, get yourself to Gurney Drive, Penang and give the Matterhorn Challenge a go.

    It weighs in at 2.8kgs and someone has done it I hear.

    It costs the equivalent of 880 baht++ but if you can eat it, it's free and they will give you 3,000 baht.

    I should imagine you'd give Jeff a run for his money in a scatfight afterwards

    Traditionally, Thais don't do Farang fare [in a commercial venue] and operate this type of business very well.

    We've all seen this forever.....but they just don't do Farang foods [and associations] with the quality that the snobs are looking for.


    Fortunately, there are scores upon scores of Farang operated restaurants of every description and flavor to satisfy those "real" Farang food cravings.

    20-25 years ago Farang venues were some what restricted to BKK, CM, Patters, and a handful of foreign ghettos - today, one can find decent Western cuisines made on-premises by Farang for Farang.....throughout the country. Even the most unlikely places.

    Burgers are usually a constant source of disappointment in LoS, unless you pay silly prices.
    So I got one of these:



    voila!
