Burger cook who began his business in lockdown sees creation crowned best in Britain

A BURGER cook who began his business in lockdown has seen one of his creations crowned the best in Britain.

And he says it is all down to cooking with beer-flavoured cheese.

Danny Hawkes, 42, bashes his beef patties thin so they get a crispy, frilly skirt when fried.

Then they are served in a toasted brioche bun covered in beer cheese with candied jalapenos, American mustard, pickles and burger sauce.

Now, the burger has been named Britain’s best after a four-round cook-off in London.

Danny’s Burgers took off after he posted a picture of a burger he had barbecued at home.

Now fans queue for more than an hour at the food truck he operates outside pubs in Bristol.

He said: “The business is hard work but I absolutely love it.”
