Time & Beef Launch

Guess what makes me happier than Fridays...BURGERS! After a long week, I excitingly made my way across the bridge to the launch of Time&Beef in Canton, a new burger joint that was so needed in this part of Cardiff.

Situated just a step off the bus stop on Cowbridge Road East, it only took me seconds to find my way to it, with its warm and inviting decor. It's times like this I remember why I blog, Cardiff has so much to offer, supporting local produce and restaurants is a must because especially in this city, I haven't ever fallen in love with anything commercial.

The vision of Time&Beef is simply to take home the prize for the best burger in Cardiff. Time&Beef prides itself not to ever freeze or pre-cook any of their food and to make sure all ingredients are locally sourced and delivered fresh daily.

 It was not long after I sat down that I knew they were serious about it by merely looking around -keep your eyes peeled for their 5 commandments. Interestingly pretty much everything in-house has been recycled, for example the stools are from a school in Bridgend and the light shades over the bar, are from old Army Barracks. I must admit, I am highly impressed by how well the team were able to produce an atmosphere that successfully works as an independent cafe during the day and transforms itself into a burger joint at night!

What obviously caught my eye here is the build your own burger concept. Burger (£7) + Topping(£2/£1) and Cheese (£1) + 2 Free sauces 

Pretty standard concept you would think until you try out their combos! I know for a fact that had I known there was a pineapple in my burger there was no way I would have tried it! But it's good thing I did, because it was delish! Its safe to say, I have never had this many burgers in one sitting, but who is complaining? A proof of this can be seen below:

Chicken + Pineapple 

Welsh beef + Beer battered onion rings

 Chicken + Bacon + Fried Egg

 Fish + Fried Onions

Winner of the Night: Lamb + Mint sauce + garlic fries

Overall verdict of the night I would say is that with the combination of the two very competent chefs (one who came over from our beloved Potted Pig) and the conception of the t&b lamb burger there is a high likelihood that I will be back soon to devour some excellent local produce and some damn good garlic fries. 

Thank you Time&Beef for having me!
