"I had the best cheeseburger in Bangkok this week, twice. On Tuesday lunch was at O'Reilly's where I had the superb cheeseburger which was good as any burger I had had in Bangkok, and for a short period I reckoned it to be the best
burger in the city until...the next day when I had lunch at Duke's in the new food hall on the 5th floor at
Emporium. WOW! The venue looks modest but the food is exceptional. This is some of the best
honest, pub-style farang food in the city with fantastic dishes for not a lot of money.

The Duke's burger, is in my mind, the best burger in Bangkok. Bacon, mushrooms and cheese on a 1/2 pound sirloin patty
and a mound of fries (or onion rings, or coleslaw) makes a filling meal. What I liked about Duke's was that the portions
were large, the quality excellent and the prices reasonable - that's all the bases covered. Duke's is an institution in
Chiang Mai and its arrival in Bangkok is very welcome indeed. I'll be visiting again real soon.
In fact I can see myself becoming a regular."
