Where to find Blackpool's most outrageous burger with waffles for buns

If there's one new culinary twist shaking up Blackpool's foodie scene, it's the Waffle Chicken Burger at Backyard Burgers on Whitegate Drive.

Imagine two golden sweet waffles replacing the buns of a burger, with a southern-fried chicken fillet, melted American cheese, smoky streaky bacon, a fried egg, crispy onion bits and lashings of BBQ sauce.

It's a playful mash-up of breakfast indulgence and comfort food and it tastes every bit as fun as it looks.
