Birmingham's [**Original Patty Men**](http://originalpattymen.com/?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk) has been recognised in the **Observer Monthly Food Awards** this month, having been awarded Runner-Up in the [Best Cheap Eats](https://www.theguardian.com/food/2018/oct/22/ofm-awards-2018-best-cheap-eats-runners-up?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk) category.

The category shortlists restaurants across the country that fall into the under-£15 prince band.

Original Patty Men is 

the only eatery from the West Midlands to be nominated in the awards. 

**Tom Maher** and **Scott O'Byrne**, the brains behind the burgers, say they are delighted with the award:

> "It makes us feel sassy as hell. Setting out with a goal in mind, and then being recognised for achieving that goal is a great feeling."

The winner of the award for Best Cheap Eats was **Bia Rebel**, a Japanese/Irish collaboration in Belfast. Other categories include Best Place to Drink, Best Sunday Lunch and Best New Cookbook.
