Obs'cene x Big Boys Fine Burger Co.
‘Cene magazine and big boys fine burger in folkestone collaborate on the smoking hot obs’cene burger
Award-winning Folkestone patty pushers Big Boys Fine Burger have collaborated with Kent culture mag ‘cene to create a limited-edition burger.
Available during November, the Obs'cene Burger will look to melt the restaurant’s Specials Board, offering jalapeno heat and 8oz of beef cooked animal style (grilled with mustard already applied).
Big Boys, on the Old High Street, has been a staple in the Creative Quarter since 2014 offering banging burgers that have regularly been named among the best in the country at the National Burger Awards.
Joint owners Guy Meurice and Gareth Attwell were celebrating earlier this year as Big Boys took home the gong of Burger Chef of the Year 2020.
Now, collaborating with the long-time admirers/diners at ‘cene Magazine, the burger joint has unleashed the Obs'cene burger after members of the editorial team begged it to make their dream spicy stack of beef.
Using rare-breed, grass-fed beef from Homestead Farm in Dover, Big Boys used two 4oz patties cooked animal style, covered in Monterey Jack cheese, onions, chopped jalapeños and bacon, in a bun topped with deep-fried jalapeño popper stuffed with cream cheese, spring onions and crispy bacon bits.
Guy says: “Collaboration gives you a chance to try something new. Having someone else say ‘Hey, this is what I’d like to see in a burger’ can bring inspiration! “It was a bit of a challenge, this one, especially as I’m not a huge fan of spicy food.
“We always have a special on and we exchange it every couple of weeks, but if they’re really popular, then they could make it on to the menu.”
‘cene Magazine editor Joe Bill says: “We have been smashing back burgers at Big Boys for years, so naturally, when the opportunity came up to collaborate, we couldn’t wait to begin the taste testing!
“We sent in a few memories of our favourite-ever burgers, one of which included an anecdote about Brian Harvey from East 17 that we can’t repeat, and the Big Boys team put together the Obs'cene burger. We know the meat-eating readers of the mag will love it.”
