Charisma? It's just a shame Chris isn't as welcoming when you turn up without a camera or a TH-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 TH-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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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 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
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 “
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 ❤
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'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!
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.
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.
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
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
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 😄
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!
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 TH-camrs? The burger was nice and cheap but it was just a burger I look forward to trying the new guy personally
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 ❤️
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 💯 .
Hey hun were was the onions they were sparse . and that barm was very thick it a wonder you could taste the burger though the barm with it being so thick . my score is a 5.0 xx❤
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!
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. 😊
Right ! I have to say this . I've tried stopping myself , tying my hands together, from typing ,and even staying off TH-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!
Having now watched it fully… those burgers. Having worked in the meat trade they’re all head meat. Cheap burgers - which they quite evidently are - are made from boning out the heads of cattle. Sold separately by the abattoirs specially for those burgers….
Yeah, let's open a £1 burger in a premium location and stick the fingers up to a long serving business man who's worked hard for 16 years building his business creating the £1 burger. Not a kind or creative business move in my opinion. I'll always choose Chris on my visits to Blackpool 👍
You do know that Chris didn’t create the £1 burger he just sells a burger for £1 Jesus! People have been doing it for years. Hats off to the new guys. It’s a dog eat dog world in business.
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.
Charisma? It's just a shame Chris isn't as welcoming when you turn up without a camera or a TH-cam channel.

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 👎
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
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
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.

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 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. 😉👍
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'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.
And he spits all over the food the big mong
@@terminater996 lol 😆 that's you cool
I'm wondering if I should relocate to Blackpool just so I could partake in trying these burgers? 😂
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.
Chris is not a friend. I don't know him only from the vlogs.
You have featured him before though with Wildside.
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)

@@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.

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? 😂
Chris = Boiled onions/ Prime = Fried onions.
all good for me
Well it looks a lot cleaner than the other place.
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 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

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 “
Wow!! Really!!! Shame on them.
Chris has the charisma the other has the fried onions 😊
If you are ever in the Northeast Lee, try GJs Sandwich Hut in Team Valley. They do a £1 sausage sandwich. Wednesdays only.
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 ❤
Stick with chris.
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 😂
Sorry, but ANY burger that costs £1 must be pure shi*e!! I have noticed much less pigeons in Blackpool lately!!
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. 😊
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

In American, a business cannot say in has hamburgers unless it is 100% beef. Hence, the 'burger', often mixed with soy flour.
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 😂
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.
I like to see a Grand final.
Chris Higgott v Maccy D's burger.
It same batch he just squash it down before.. to me as there are big que then there is room for both or 3
Well said Lee , it always will be , what a guy ❤❤😂😅

@@ThreeFiddy1701 Yes both those stats don't offer a decent wage after costs....
@@LifeLessons9999I 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
@@cliffcook3993 Thanks mate ! Chris is good !
@@cliffcook3993 Thank god for that. As long as he has a shower after every ciggy i'm willing to give him a try.
That ‘peace’ guy could be your new Geof buys cars 😅
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 😂
Loved the seagull bit haha. When are you going to vlog Southport, Lee? I'm really looking forward to that one
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
Staying with chris
There's only one £1 burger and Chris is the don of Blackpool
There is a difference. One is situated on the front and one is situated on the back street.
Do a 1 pound burger tour all over uk
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
No reason for anyone to go hungry in Blackpool with all these £1 burgers.
That chris bloke is such a nob.
You mean he has Charisma.
Thanks Lee another entertainingly funny, yet serious vlog. Great content as always. 😊😂❤
enjoyed the video Lee, was making me hungry seeing those burgers😊😊
Good video enjoyed this, thank you for sharing
This new place is cleaner than Chris's place! Plus he's not wiping his nose on his hand unlike Chris. Better location too.

Hope they don't have an "accident" ON the chips.
Cigarettes have no place in the kitchen 😢
Have to remember to bring some cheese slices if I ever go to Blackpool.
How does he justify charging an extra 50p for one processed cheese slice? That’s pure greed lol
Just be careful of those Seagulls, they never forget a face.
You could have asked for the burger meat content to artery content while you were there. Think i could see a bit of artery on the 1st one.
Great Video Lee

He hasn't the best of health sometimes

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!
Now thats a tasty burger.
Yeah to be honest thought the meat at Primes looked less processed, and the onions looked well-fried.
You do know they are the same burgers from Bookers I should know as I buy the same ones 71% of meat in both burgers
@@zoltar666pzdo you get a lot of gristle in them?

Wow back in Blackpool hope we see you n Stephen we we get over, looks like another great video Lee.
One on a backstreet, one on the seafront. Only one winner. Chris is funny but location counts.
Yeah but Chris gets the Influencers due to his persona. Social media is a powerful tool.
Location location location.
99p chris
50p/ 50% extra for a 5p slice of cheese?
On average it costs 60p to make a pizza have you complained about pizza shops too? It’s called business
@@wisher21uk Yes
I have had burgers and hot dogs from both venders but got to love Chris personality
🎶 We are Chris's barmy army 🎶
Hey hun were was the onions they were sparse . and that barm was very thick it a wonder you could taste the burger though the barm with it being so thick . my score is a 5.0 xx❤
Unfortunately Chris’s place looks so dirty and he does not wear gloves. The Prime burger place looked clean and the burgers look very appealing.
I like how Chris has a cigarette n then goes n makes the burger lol its a no from me darling
I watch alot of youtube but there is a blackpool vlogging war.
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!
You Nailed it , I Just dropped a video on Chris , he is a legend 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️
Wheres Leroy
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. 😊
Try the hotdogs next
Good value for a quick feed and probably healthier than one from the Golden arches.
Dunno what the big deal is here.... You get a cheese burger for £1.35 in MacD's. ??????
Hey you are really good at your vids very humorous i found your channel through Stephen Cheatley walk on the wild side keep up the great vids

I’d have left the queue when he started smoking
I for one will be there every chance I get Chris x

Obviously work with each orher
