Bristol foodie institution Oowee has been serving up the dirtiest burgers since 2016, when they launched their first restaurant on Picton Street. Since then, they've taken over the Bristol foodie scene, with restaurants in Bedminster and the city centre, and they've won award after award.
My first Oowee burger was from their meaty North Street branch in the hazy heatwave of the summer of 2020. At the point where we could finally start collecting food from eateries for takeaway, myself and my partner made the hour-long walk to Bedminster from our flat in what felt like thirty-plus degree heat just because we knew we could finally get our hands on a dirty burger again.
It may have been that euphoric feeling of the first takeaway post-lockdown, that sweet taste of freedom, but I inhaled that burger within seconds. I'm not the only one, however, as Oowee has won its fair share of awards in a very short space of time.
