A burger kitchen in Bristol has been crowned as one of the best in the UK at the National Burger Awards 2023. Fattso co-owner and chef, Hamish Macdonald, was handed third place after a cook-off at the prestigious competition in London last week.
Fattso was first conceived by Joe Watson and Charlie Morris Adams who kitted out a burger truck in Wells, less than an hour away from Bristol, setting up in the Cheddar Valley car park, where it still remains to this day. The pair were interested in the 'smash burger' scene coined in the United States, which sees the meat cooked on a flat top grill at high heat, served with different sauces and toppings.
Hamish, who had previously worked as a private chef in Switzerland, joined the team after moving back to the West Country when the pandemic hit. “The first day of opening was very busy," he recalled when they launched in early 2020.
