When I first heard about Butcher's Club in Aberdeen, I wanted to go check it out and buy some steaks home for an evening in or a BBQ day with friends. When I heard they served their burgers at certain fairs, I kicked myself for not knowing to get to try them. When I walked by an art gallery in Sheung Wan that had a Butcher's Club beef extravaganza, I put myself on their mailing list so not to miss out. Then I found out they were opening a burger place in Wanchai. I excitedly messaged boyfriend..
We arrived at 11:50 on a Sunday and it wasn't open until 12. We heard music pumping inside, so we decided to walk around first. Arrived at 12 SHARP and found the place packed! We ended up sitting outside!
Building is small, dark, very bar like. You can sit inside on benches or outside at the windows. We sat there and had a friendly chat with people next to me who were chomping their burgers like they had gone to heaven.
To be honest, their menu is simple. One burger. One price. $100. You can also add fries fried not once, not twice but three times in glorious duck fat for $20. Typical soda is served along with Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke and omg!!! much missed A&W root beer! Yeah, can't seem to find that in Hong Kong. They do have beer...this is PBR. Boyfriend wasn't too impressed with that as they charge $35 for the cheapest watery beer from the USA when at that price they can offer an excellent selection of craft beers. He opted to get a good beer elsewhere. Anyways, I already knew they had a secret menu. It's on their website. It's on the QR codes in the restaurant. But boyfriend and I decided to try the one offered on the original menu as it was our first time.
The burgers are ground on site. Meat is a mixture of chuck, rump and brisket. From the photo you can see the meat in the fridge. It's an assembly line. One guy grinds, one guy shapes and seasons, one guy cooks away. They tell you it takes about 20 minutes before you can devour away. But, honestly, it didn't seem that long a wait.
Burgers were served on a wooden board with a nice white paper underneath. The burger included a slice of cheddar, honey glazed bacon, tomato, pickles, onion spread and secret sauce that tasted like a mix of thousand island and mayo. It was....omg....can your brain be blown away when you eat a burger? The answer is yes. The patty was perfect in every way. Medium rare. Moist. Juicy. I bit in and juices flowed down my fingers. The cheese melted away. It's messy. It's glorious. The bun was soft, lightly toasted. Brain KABOOM! Any burger I once thought was ok, passable, pretty good....GO AWAY! I've finally found the burger of my dreams. I want to marry this burger, it's so good. Boyfriend laughed at how messy and unlady like I looked with flour from the bun all over my mouth.
Duck fat fries were really unhealthy. One serving was pretty small but it came in a cute mini Chinatown take away box. Fries were big. Soft on the inside. Crispy outside. Lightly seasoned with salt. Went fantastic with ketchup.
A few people may think $100 is expensive for a burger. But honestly, it's not for if you think about it, most "better" burger places cost around $70 - 100. But these guys do a burger like it's supposed to.
Definitely be back. Will tell my friends. Next time try the secret menu stuff. Boyfriend heard there is a challenge burger. He wants to try.
