Forget KFC it’s all about the Korean Fried Chick’aint burger at this popular Aberdeen beach food hut.

Oozing with Korean barbecue sauce, roast garlic mayonnaise, kimchi slaw, toasted sesame seeds as well as fresh spring onions, chillies and coriander, this bad boy vegan chicken burger is another level.

Add some loaded fries into the mix and you’ve got yourself some seriously delicious street grub.

The Feed Baron

Foodies will be delighted to hear that The Feed Baron will soon be offering its tasty grub at Westhill Golf Club.

The popular food truck, known for its mouthwatering burgers and loaded fries, is set to open its first kitchen residency at the golf club on Wednesday next week.

From breakfast through to dinner, the moreish menu will initially be available from Wednesday to Sunday with plans to open further.

Make ours a barbecue melt burger!
