Puccinni's could easily compete, but they need a makeover. I think you're right about a hidden demand for a decent burger (and pizza) joint in the Roath area. Good demographic (grant-rich students, a few boho types, professionals like me and some yummy mummies amongst others. Keep it simple - Byron only has about 6 burgers on the menu - , source really good ingredients and mark it up at £1.50 less than GBK and there'll be queues round the block. Ditto with a really good stone baked pizza joint. Can't be that hard - can it?grahamfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455502639845806444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-74940224001691578312012-05-03T17:45:24.372+01:002012-05-03T17:45:24.372+01:00Yeah the food isn't great unfortunately.

And not cheap either.

Thanks. Loved their triple cooked chips last time I visited a year ago. Hopefully they haven't changed....<br /><br />@Nightboat - Totally agree. Think a crazily good burger place would do well in Cardiff (and almost every city in the UK as well to be fair). Just need to learn how to cook an amazing burger, get some funding, open a burger joint and I'll be on my way to my first million!gourmetgorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151639585645335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-45036521421381998082012-04-07T09:48:19.256+01:002012-04-07T09:48:19.256+01:00To be fair to Cardiff, the phenomenon of superlati...To be fair to Cardiff, the phenomenon of superlatively good, authentic burgers in the UK is relatively recent - in London it's only been a fad for the past year of so. Having said that, I can confirm that once you've had one of these new super-burgers (as you say, Meat Liquor and Lucky Chip are good examples - also, try the Admiral Codrington pub in Chelsea), there's no going back. You'll never be able to order a pub burger again. Anyone who started a Meat Liquor-type establishment in Cardiff would do exceptionally well.Nightboathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367152515098943399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-24592824060215012732012-04-06T11:27:39.699+01:002012-04-06T11:27:39.699+01:00The Cricketers burger has been consistently good t...The Cricketers burger has been consistently good the past few months although the chips are too chunky.Gin Do Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219617257190126284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-77378082885682498532012-03-29T21:56:19.857+01:002012-03-29T21:56:19.857+01:00Yes.
