Charisma? It's just a shame Chris isn't as welcoming when you turn up without a camera or a UA-cam channel. We visited him after your first video and even though we left a tip and the hot dogs weren't ready, we still left feeling like he'd got out the bed the wrong side. I'm even a subscriber to his UA-cam virgin channel. Keep up the great videos Lee, hope to see you in Beni in Nov for fiesta
Don't forget that he works all day on his own and needs a ciggy now and then.. What's wrong with that? If you are hungry and want a burger why don't you all go round the corner and pay a 5er by the arcades for one that someone else has done but had a piss in the alley and come back to the burger bar without washing their hands. Now who is genuine and real now? At least Chris has a 100 percent genuine hygiene and brilliant run place so you all have to rethink your decision and not judge him for any reason to have a break with whatever it is ...
I'd go to the new place for a burger ,chris serving a burger and smoking in front of customers would put me off immediately, if you're going to do that do it in your own time or away from the business.
I need to clarify something. Primeburger charge £1 for burger ,£1.50 for cheese burger,and £2.50 for double cheese burger. Has the double cheeseburger got 2 slices of cheese or just 1? Also, there is a loophole here, if you buy a £1 burger and a £1.50 cheeseburger it’s the same price as a double cheeseburger, but you end up with 2 buns. If you get 2 slices of cheese on the double, then one slice of cheese is in lue of the bun.
I thought they were both ok but I agree about the cob being too thick on the first one and that Chris has the personality and customer chatter which the other didn't seem to have.
Another location you can go to is, whenever you get yourself to Kingston upon Hull, head over to bond street and get yourself to Lena's Ukrainian Kitchen. It really is lovely food
We have a couple in Bolton husband and wife delicious home cooked in their kitchen fantastic not the cheapest but fantastic food Danny Rate my Takeaway had his in their garden. Really nice people ❤
From what you showed us Prime burger looks cleaner than Higgets. Taking a fag brake does not look good when people are waiting. You appear to be favouring Higgets as he is a friend so not a fair contest.
I have but he ain't my mate. Only know him from filming. I don't personally have his phone number. As I said in the video, there's room for both businesses. This video will only drive business to both as people will try both for themselves. All good for Blackpool. :0)
Fully agree with you about Chris, A guy that loves life, & enjoys the banter with his punters, So many places are too sterile these days, In case they offend someone !
Hi lee,we were there last September from Brisbane, Chris was really busy so we didn't get a burger, but i took my daughter in his arcade and she won about 20 odd pound from one of his machines!and he gave us a nice smile and nod as we left,he was really nice from what we saw
The brown seagull on the 1st shot was an apprentice seagull, ie the 1st offspring of the season. Thats why seagulls are particularly vocal at this time of the year. It's mum & dad seagulls 'shouting', 'Go on son/daughter, nick the chips, & make it look like a accident!' LOL!
Visited yesterday to find that the guy had increased his £1 burger to £2, because the airshow was on. Ended up paying it because it's still pretty cheap and there was zero queue. We did go to Chris's, to try and give him the business, but the queue must have been an hour long. And my youngest was having none of that 😄
I went to buy a burger from Chris. Whilst waiting we decided to walk away, he was complaining about sweating and pulling at his t-shirt saying he was "soaked through" and then proceeded to handle the food without washing his hands. It's a £1 burger granted, but basic hygiene costs nothing. In my opinion he would do well to close shop for a day, spend £100 on materials and get the place looking better. It looks quite run down.
It's a great little kitchen Chris has, seems like a dream job to have an arcade too, the thing that makes Chris the real one is the real cheese, unless they were just thick cut onions which is also a bonus!
It’s been the Blackpool airshow this weekend and prime burger put there prices up! Burger - £2 Cheese burger - £2.50 Double cheese burger - £3.50 Hotdog - £2 Chris Higgitts kept his the same price I know who I will be going to As you would say Lee “ shame on you “
I've been to Chris Higgits and really enjoyed the burger but coming from a catering business side smoking in front of the customer isn't great! It would possibly put some people off! Cheers lee! We love your content
@@jennyleewingfield6770 i agree but i think his back door is also his frontdoor and hes on his own . Hes a character though so u have to look beyond any rough edges ❤️
Might have once considered trying Higgits £1 burger for the hell of it, but after seeing him stand there fagging it up looking like he needs a wash, just puts me right off!
Trying to work out how you can make a profit on a £1 burger, after a bit of googling, found you can buy catering pack sizes of burgers as cheap as 40p a burger, say 5p for a bap, 2p for a slice of cheese, ingredients come to about 47p. Cooking etc add on 10p, so leave about 43p profit per burger, not a lot, but compare that to burger vans who'll have the same overheads and charge £3.50 for a burger. That's a whooping £2.93 profit per burger.
Profit per burger is one thing, it's the volume of burgers sold (Chris sells approx 300-400 on a busy a weekend) and your overheads & liabilities to debt as a business or individual that dictates the price you sell something for. Burger vans outside pubs or industrial estates would be lucky to do that in a whole week.
Hi sorry to bother you but I'm coming to Blackpool for the airshow next month and was wondering if you could recommend any good takeaways/restaurants near the tower
I agree Lee that Chris' £1 burger is a much better burger as it is more balanced one at that. The other was way too thick with too much bread. Great video Lee, nice one! Thanks. 😊
Hi Lee I’m usually there this time of year , but this year I’m going late August see you there lol I go to Chris’s at that time, it s a fun 10min take care
Right ! I have to say this . I've tried stopping myself , tying my hands together, from typing ,and even staying off UA-cam, to prevent myself from what I'm going to type , but I just couldn't help it , at all , so here is it : LEE . IF BART SIMPSON WAS A 60 YEAR OLD ENGLISHMAN , HE'D BE YOU ! SORRY!
Both look good, but for me I prefer the bun not to thick either, as you don't want mouth full of fluffy bun. For me I think would go for Chris's despite never had one, but they look better, with the bun not to thick. So for me would go for Chris's burger.
Chris Higgits for the win as he looks after people with not much money and he still charges a £1 for a burger and thats good considering 20% VAT as well
Yes Stephen is the best but a couple more have jumped on the band wagon along with a few in the pleasure beach, "Stephen Walk on the wild side" seems to have the advantage with his photography skills!
Ive tried them both and there not awful but also not great + Im not a fan of eating outside especially in Blackpool, around ten years ago id been to pound bakery got a sausage roll stolen from an angry seagull I prefer to get a McDonald's receipt do the survey get a big mac and fries for £2.99 i always have my water bottle with me so dont get a drink
Went the other day and you would have to be mental to pay £5 up near the tower when this is a £1 .it's a cleaner place and tastes better than what Chris sells 💯 .
Please send my best wishes to Stephen and hope he gets well soon.. great video.. and I will be drinking in your territory tomorrow at Pudsey Wetherspoons lol xx
Chris spices his Plus both can get a good mark up on drinks discount dragon close to sell by date If u can sell stuff bulk wise I bet the one on front will be busy on illumination night
Blackpool was National swimming championships every August in the 1980's - salt water swimming pool but meals were on the golden mile ( usually burger and chips ) definitely under a pound back then but had to keep them down on the pleasure beach afterwards ....
When I went to Chris I didn’t get the charisma you talk about. He was moody and I felt like it was a hassle that we were there. Maybe he just plays up to you UA-camrs? The burger was nice and cheap but it was just a burger I look forward to trying the new guy personally
Sorry but the new looks brighter and fresher. Chris going out for a ciggy when he was cooking put me right off.
Sorry, but ANY burger that costs £1 must be pure shi*e!! I have noticed much less pigeons in Blackpool lately!!
You miserable git lol
I agree with him smoking. Ive seen him do it and it put me off too.
I had a burger from the new place and the bloke hands looked like he smoked 100 figs a day

I suspected it's all just for promo, you can't be cheerful to strangers all day / night long! 😅
We had the same experience unfortunately
Exactly my experience too!
Such a shame, not what we expect from that charismatic youtube daddy! 😂
Same. We go twice a year. To Blackpool, not to Chris 😅 learned our lesson 🫤 Def wasn't the cheery burger man the kids were expecting to meet 👎
Prime Burgers were also missing the tinge of Smoke and nicotine fingers all over the food...yum yum
Not forgetting the scent of antibacterial wash
I was hailing on a cig at the moment I liked and agreed with your comment
Hi Lee, I truly think that Chris has serious opposition, simply because this guy is on the seafront and he is offering much more choices. Dave
Chris has given a £1 burger throughout the cost of living crisis and Covid pandemic to help Blackpool out. He should be 100% supported !
I prefer onions that are fried not boiled.
I like mine baked on a low temperature in the oven on a tray, makes them all soggy and really sweet. I don't know why, but they turn out like that .
Do boiled onions get under your skin?!
fried on burgers..boiled on hotdogs
@@johnrobertson8263 Hotdogs are lucky on a roll!
Love boiled onions on a frankfurter dog and fried onions with real sausage dog. 😉👍

@@mikeolly67 too much bread though .. prefer to pay the same or more for less bread
I really do prefer cooked onions rather than raw onions but.......Chris does not charge for sauce. Chris wins..all the way.
I'm wondering if I should relocate to Blackpool just so I could partake in trying these burgers? 😂
Chris = Boiled onions/ Prime = Fried onions.
all good for me
Well it looks a lot cleaner than the other place.
I thought they were both ok but I agree about the cob being too thick on the first one and that Chris has the personality and customer chatter which the other didn't seem to have.
If they’re the same price then there is no war ! At that price you sample both competitors. 🎉
Double cheeseburger more expensive at prime burger 😂

enjoyed the video Lee, was making me hungry seeing those burgers😊😊
Everyone going mad over mince that you wouldn't feed ya dog
I agree wholeheartedly mate. Probably 5% beef content. Still there are a lot of people who eat this sort of stuff, not me.
Your not mincing your words!
As my old dad used to say " If it don't stick in your throat it won't stick in your arse "
@markfyi 71% of beef in them they both buy the same burgers
I had one I put it in the bin but the hotdog was nice the meat was like u said not nice but for a quid what u exspect
Is a Flock of Seagulls performing in Blackpool this month? 😂
I like to see a Grand final.
Chris Higgott v Maccy D's burger.

Ended up paying it because it's still pretty cheap and there was zero queue.
We did go to Chris's, to try and give him the business, but the queue must have been an hour long. And my youngest was having none of that 😄
It’s the first time I’ve heard of Primeburger. I know that
Blackpool Amusements are also doing a £1 burger but it looks like a cheap Birds Eye burger!
That ‘peace’ guy could be your new Geof buys cars 😅
I went to buy a burger from Chris. Whilst waiting we decided to walk away, he was complaining about sweating and pulling at his t-shirt saying he was "soaked through" and then proceeded to handle the food without washing his hands.

In American, a business cannot say in has hamburgers unless it is 100% beef. Hence, the 'burger', often mixed with soy flour.
It’s been the Blackpool airshow this weekend and prime burger put there prices up!
Burger - £2
Cheese burger - £2.50
Double cheese burger - £3.50
Hotdog - £2
Chris Higgitts kept his the same price
I know who I will be going to
As you would say Lee “ shame on you “

We were talking to you on the front on your way to Chris,s . Really pleased to meet thank you .
Nice to meet you too. 😊
Also also Chris stored some cooked burgers away, so it's not always fresh if you watch the video he stores some patties that are cooked in the tin 😂
I have had burgers and hot dogs from both venders but got to love Chris personality
Might have once considered trying Higgits £1 burger for the hell of it, but after seeing him stand there fagging it up looking like he needs a wash, just puts me right off!
Stick with chris.
If I was in Blackpool I would go to Chris just so I can get the mr Blackpool stack
This - got me thinking about 5 with 5 cheese to match 😂
The bun on the first burger looked fluffy and fresh but was too big. The meat is the star of a burger

@@ThreeFiddy1701 Yes both those stats don't offer a decent wage after costs....
@@Kim-Jong-Un-4I think Chris said he makes money by getting customers into his arcade when they come for food.
20p per burger more like it. He buys thousands though.
I hope Chris washed his hands after smoking that ciggie ! If he didn't , then we know what his secret ingredient is - nicotine !
Minus 100 points straight away. Go Prime all the way.
Chris doesn’t have a sink only hand sanitizer so I very much doubt his hands got washed
He does have a sink and hand sanitiser, he also has a shower out the back of the arcade

No reason for anyone to go hungry in Blackpool with all these £1 burgers.
Chris Higgits for the win as he looks after people with not much money and he still charges a £1 for a burger and thats good considering 20% VAT as well
It same batch he just squash it down before.. to me as there are big que then there is room for both or 3
Staying with chris
There's only one £1 burger and Chris is the don of Blackpool
Good value for a quick feed and probably healthier than one from the Golden arches.
Well said Lee , it always will be , what a guy ❤❤😂😅
Have to remember to bring some cheese slices if I ever go to Blackpool.
Lee if Chris invites you round to his new man cave don't go cause U will end up like Leroy under the floor boards of the arcade lol
PMSL 😂 so that’s where ‘Leroy’ really is!
Good video enjoyed this, thank you for sharing
Yeah to be honest thought the meat at Primes looked less processed, and the onions looked well-fried.
