The Beefy Boys serve top-notch burgers in Cheltenham

In the lead-up to the elections in New York, food critic Tom Parker Bowles took time to indulge in three excellent cheeseburgers in the city. His first two stops were at JG Melon, a celebrated establishment on the Upper East Side, and the new Hamburger America in SoHo. These spots are recognized for their exceptional burger preparation methods, with JG Melon serving a sumptuous patty made from ground sirloin and chuck, cooked to a perfect rare, while Hamburger America, run by hamburger historian George Motz, offers uniquely prepared burgers, including an 'Oklahoma-style' fried onion burger. Both places display a high level of craftsmanship, emphasizing quality meat and innovative cooking techniques. Ultimately, Bowles returned to Britain, where he visited The Beefy Boys in Cheltenham, noted for its outstanding burgers that rival even those found in New York City. Initially street-food vendors, they now boast three locations in the West Country and pride themselves on using locally sourced chuck and brisket, which they grind fresh daily. Bowles highlighted their diverse burger options, from the classic double cheese to the fiery Chilli Cheese Boy, showcasing the creative toppings that can be combined. Bowles' personal favorite was the classic OG Boy, emphasizing a straightforward approach to burger-making focused on meat quality, flavor, and texture. Bowles concluded that after indulging in these rich burgers, visitors should be prepared for a messy but satisfying experience, cementing The Beefy Boys' reputation as top contenders in the burger scene.
