When the challenge was set to find the best burger recipe I only had to think of my father's favourite meal and my mother's recipe and I was right there, transported back to the best barbecue day of each year, my father's birthday.
Every year as I was growing up my mum would make us the best burgers imaginable on 3 August. Combined with salads and sauces and Pimms (when we were old enough) it was my foodie family's idea of heaven.
Back to the present and I found myself at a Brighton barbecue for National Burger Day. Enticed by chef-prepared burgers and a secret location, I was in.
Joining the best of the Brighton Blogger community we yellow-bused it to a Woodingdean AirBnB where a fab live band, called SO trio set the mood with some Jazz while cocktails were offered around. Nice.
Keen to try as much as we could we then shared the barbecued seabass and some halloumi, which had a really great after-kick to it.
Feeling full I almost (only half-heartedly) said no to the pud until Aine told me I had to try it. Eton Mess. What can I say? Of course I had to try it. So good!
But hey, didn't I mention I'd divulge the ingredients for the best burger recipe at the top of this blog post? Yeah, sure I did, so here it is.
Combine the following in this order to make eight or nine burgers:
1 kg or (2 lbs in Mum's speak) Butcher’s Selection Extra Lean Beef Mince
1 large white onion, finely chopped
150g fresh breadcrumbs
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp English mustard
2 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
Season with black pepper
1 large egg (free range)
1 handful chopped flat-leaf parsley or coriander
Can I just add when I first typed out this recipe it was just for four burgers but when I called Jude to verify the quantities before publishing Mum changed it up to make 8 burgers, with the words, "who makes only four burgers?". So there you have it a fully verified Agnew recipe for the best burger.

The burgers started sizzling and I soon got involved with a vintage cheese, bacon burger and coleslaw. Just delicious. While fellow Blogger / Vlogger AineBeauty got stuck-in to a mushroom, halloumi and aubergine combination.
