Chris Telford and the ‘very best burger in the country at his Hungry Moose Cafe, Kilkenny
This afternoon.
Kepak, sponsors of National Burger Day, has announced that gourmet burger restaurant, The Hungry Moose in Kilkenny is now officially home to the best burger in Ireland.
The Huingry Moose , located on Upper John Street on the north side of the River Nore, opened in 2017 following an online crowdfunding appeal by Chris Telford, former chef to The Rolling Stones.
In the past month, over 15,000 “Irish burger enthusiasts” cast their votes with over 500 burger outlets to choose from
The Hungry Moose was awarded the title for a burger containing a combo of “smoked bacon, dill pickles, dressed with beer battered onion ring, aged Canadian moose cheddar and organic maple BBQ sauce”. Eddie Rockets took national prize of the Best Burger in a Fast Food Chain
The announcement comes ahead of Ireland’s first ever National Burger Day tomorrow, June 21. with an exclusive ‘Buy One Get One Free’ offer at participating burger outlets nOMNOMM

Mmmmmm, Bunsen
MOOSE CHEDDAR
‘Moose cheddar’ sounds like slang for something.
Smegma?
Like the regular outpourings from a certain hotel/cafe on the NCR?
Where’s the beef?
is it an onion ring sambo?
I am also confused
yeah…see I often wondered about this
whenever there’s a burger-off discussion here on BS ‘oul Eddie Rockets never ever ever ever gets a mention…& although not bad atall either I don’t mean the posh Rockets one….nope it’s all Bunsen this Bunsen that Bunsen the other
the fella or girl’s ability at the grill is also a factor
there’s def better burgers per category in town than Bunsen (imho of course)
haven’t had that Moose one yet but it’s now on my radar next time I’m near Kilkenny, congrats!
Bunsen is a good burger in a terrible place. I feel like they want you out as soon as you sit down.
Chips on the plate please, toss that ridiculous stainless recipient. Also, what’s the knife for? I swear I cant stand this rubbish anymore.
100% I hear ye…
:-J
…bacon…stones…Tel Aviv…don’t think so…
lol… Getting political now.. interesting.
:-J
I’m sure it tastes good and I wish them well but it looks like another hipster monstrosity…
Any half-decent burger, let alone a classic should fit in one hand without dripping all over the place and falling apart into soggy liguid drenched pieces as soon as you take a bite.
In other words, it’s not a burger if you need to skewer the damn thing to keep it from falling apart, it’s a pretentious decorative cry for attention and a nuiscance to try to enjoy no matter how good the ingredients or the cooking skills involved.
Looks aren’t everything for you social media food-porn addicts -bloody everywhere these days,,, transfixed by facederp, snapcrap, instaphlegm etc. You’re like a bunch of zombies and you know who you are….
Isn’t a burger supposed to be one of the easiest things to make well, sell cheap and eat easily on the go.. and be able to enjoy every bite…
Y’know, isn’t that the whole point !?!?!
:-J
Agree. I prefer girth than height and in floury baps not brioche. Gherkins or go home. I make my own these days with variable seasonings like chipotle and they’re whoppers. Hoop Hamburgers will blow those hipsters to hell.
Hoop hamburger also sounds bold. Or terribly terribly painful…
I bought me a couple of those swanky Australian wagyu burgers in F&B last Friday. Grilled them outside Sunday night. Brioche bun – well you do these days right?! Some blue cheese – buffalo blue again from F&B, fried onions and mushrooms. It was a surreal burger eating experience.
But yeah. Bunsen is still pretty much the benchmark in Dublin anyways. Chips are only ok tho.
Moose burger looks good.
Appleologies to Mr. Telford there but the best burger in the country is found on the grill outside the Martello in Bray on a thirsty Saturday evening
BIB: Bunsen is Best.
Will the Oirish Toimes be sending Catherine Cleary to review it?
