The Great Edinburgh Gluten Free Burger Hunt

So I've decided it's my duty to find the best gluten free burger place in Edinburgh :) I have created a rating system and after trying each place will write up what I think and its rating and also rank them :) I know it's gonna be difficult but I think I'll be up for it hehe

So the ratings are gonna be outta 5. Seeing as the best gluten free burger I had in NZ was at Black Harp the ratings are based on there and are as follows:
1. Not even worth comparing to Black Harp.
2. Good but not really that close to Black Harp.
3. Very very close to being as good as Black Harp.
4. As amazing as Black Harp.
5. Better than Black Harp.
I am pretty sure that I am not going to give out a 5 at all but I am willing to suffer through lots of different burgers to make sure hehe, not even sure if anywhere will get a 4, Black Harp have something special and that is why I love them :)

The first place I went to was on my birthday, Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Gotta admit that for all the hype they gave themselves I was disappointed. The bun was dry and yuck and the burger itself wasn't all that great either. Plus their chips weren't gluten free so that was a major mark down. They scored a 1 and don't make it onto the rankings at all. 

The second place was Burger. The first time I went there I was so hungry I inhaled the burger and figured I couldn't rate it that time round and would need to go back. Not really all that hard as they are just down the road from work :) hehe. The next time I went I ate in and got the chips as well. Again I ate the burger real fast, so fast I gave myself indigestion lol. It was an amazing burger and amazing chips :) so so good. I am giving them a 3 overall :) 

The third place I went to was Holyrood 9A, I went there with Jo and Ben :) it was pretty good, we had to wait forever (over 40mins) for our food, it was a busy Friday night but still. The chips were pretty amazing and the burger was very good. Not the best bun ever but still was real nice, and the chips were amazing lol. Overall they get a 3.

So at this stage the rankings are:
1. Holyrood 9A
2. Burger. (Yes the fullstop is part of the name)

And yes the rankings might change if I go back to somewhere and have decided they have improved or gotten worse or whatever but the rating doesn't, they only get one and it's from the first visit.
