One of south Wales's most loved burger restaurants is opening a new location in Cardiff. Burger Boyz has announced it will be arriving in the capital on Friday, July 18. It will be located at Cowbridge Road east in the Canton area of the city, within the same unit Ansh once traded.
The business was launched by school mates Marcin Sadlos and Jack Phillips back in 2021, who quit their full-time jobs in the engineering industry after finding success pursuing a career in the culinary world, first buying a food truck, before taking over the kitchen at The Red Lion pub in Port Talbot.
They went on to secure a spot at Newport Market, before going on to open a restaurant in Port Talbot, and are also based at Albert Hall in Swansea. For the latest restaurant reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here .
They also bought a food truck which is used to attend events, called The Truck Norris, named after its best-selling burger the Chuck Norris.
The truck has had a presence at Bridgend designer outlet for the last year.
Speaking ahead of the opening of their new location, Mr Sadlos said: "It's an exciting time. Cardiff is a site that we've wanted to open for a while now.

"We were looking for the right opportunity.
"When Ansh decided to close, we got in touch with the landlords and decided to take it over."
The restaurant's menu consists of seven different burgers, along with loaded fries and sides, and has gained a great reputation for the quality of its food.

It has been visited by professional competitive eaters at its Port Talbot restaurant, including Randy Santel, Katina Eats Kilos, Joel Hansen (modelvsfood) and Leah Shutkever.
Mr Sadlos added: "We are going to be serving the same menu that people are used to, and we are actually working on developing a little prep kitchen where we can bring in some smoked meats and some more American-style barbecue items.

"That will be for down the line and not for opening.
"It will be a few months down the line once we have settled."

ABA seeks to salvage law school hands-on learning proposal amid pushback from deans
Aug 18 (Reuters) - The American Bar Association is taking steps to appease critics of a proposal that would double law students' required number of hands-on learning credits with several concessions meant to make the plan more palatable. The modified proposal, however, is still likely to face opposition from critics who have accused the ABA of exerting too much control over law school curriculum and driving up the cost of a law degree. The ABA's revised proposal, opens new tab, released Aug. 15, would still require law students to take 12 credits of clinics, externships or simulation courses that aim to recreate real legal work — up from the current six credits. But it offers more ways to obtain the required credits and delays implementation of the revised accreditation standard to give law schools more time to expand their experiential course offerings. The new proposal would let law students obtain three of the credits during their first year — which was prohibited in the original plan. They could also receive partial experiential credit for regular courses that include some hands-on elements, such as simulated client work or drafting transactional or litigation documents. The new proposal also delays implementation of the change from 2030 to no earlier than 2032. ABA's managing director of accreditation and legal education, Jennifer Rosato Perea, declined Monday to comment on the latest proposal. Opponents of the initial proposal — including many deans of ABA accredited law schools — wrote in public comments that the ABA had not provided enough evidence that the higher experiential credit requirement would benefit students and said that the requirement would be costly for schools. Some critics said it would be especially onerous for part-time students with day jobs or complained that the implementation period was too short. Supporters, including many clinical legal professors and others who teach experiential courses, countered that the change is necessary to produce practice-ready new attorneys and that concerns like cost and flexibility were overblown. Gautam Hans, a clinical professor at Cornell Law School and a proponent of doubling the experiential requirements, said Monday that he's 'cautiously optimistic' about the revised proposal and was pleased that the new version was only 'slightly changed' from the original. But Northwestern Pritzker School of Law professor Daniel Rodriguez said the revisions are unlikely to win over critics like himself who believe the ABA is going too far in dictating curriculum without providing adequate data to justify the proposed changes. "There is a conspicuous lack of what we might call evidence-based analysis in the council's work," Rodriguez said. The ABA's Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar is slated to discuss the updated proposal Friday, when it could approve a second round of public comment before making any final decision.

Marathe's Leeds answer that points to Rangers transfer hint
With the window set to shut on Monday, September 1, the Ibrox club has just a fortnight to conclude its business until January. Russell Martin has been a busy man since arriving as head coach in the summer, with 11 new signings joining him. Marathe is in the unique position of being the vice-chairman of Rangers, while also being Leeds United's chairman following the takeover of the Scottish Premiership side earlier this year. It's a big night for Leeds as they returned to the Premier League against Everton - a major milestone in the journey of the club under the ownership of 49ers Enterprises. They've spent £70m so far this summer. And in an interview pre-match, Marathe teased that more is to come. And while he was answering the question in the context of Leeds, his response does perhaps hint towards what's yet to happen at Ibrox in terms of recruitment. "History shows there's always a lot of activity in the last few weeks of the window, certainly the last few days of the window," the American said live on Sky Sports. "We'll exercise every day that we can. Read more: "I can't speak for other American owners, I can only speak for myself. I've been in sports for almost three decades now. I love winning, I hate to lose, that's what drives me. "I don't think about the commercial side of it, I think about making this club as successful on the pitch as it can be. "It matters to me. There's no hours in a day or weeks in a year that limit me, it's win or go home. And I just want to do everything I can to get this club as good as it can be."
