Burgers helped lure me to Cape Town. For a few months I couldn’t decide if I should go (in fact I was definitely not going), but with ten days to go, the temptation of Bruce Springsteen concerts, sunshine and big juicy burgers was all too much for me to handle. One of the burger places…

This post is a little off topic but stick with me! I’m excited/terrified/nervous to say that on Sunday 13th April 2014 I will be attempting to run the 26.2 miles of the London Marathon. Being a burger lover I’ve always thought of myself as being more Born To Bun than Born To Run. So this…

If you are flying all the way from London to South Africa for three Bruce Springsteen concerts in Cape Town, the logical thing to do would be to go to the fourth concert in Johannesburg too. I’m not very logical, so I didn’t realise this until the day after Springsteen’s third and final Cape Town…

“You are a very boring person going to all of these concerts so many times on your own.” I was on a high after my third night of watching Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band play in Cape Town, South Africa, to be greeted with this statement by my taxi driver. I’ve been called…

I heard it somewhere, I think from some hippie traveller with dread locks and patchwork trousers, and my friend and I latched onto it, hollering it at every opportunity presented to us. “Another cup…

London is bulging at the seams with burgers, and so am I. I love them, naturally, but in many ways I’m feeling a little full up. With every week comes a “cool” new burger restaurant churning out “dirty” food. I can’t open a magazine without reading about the next “hottest” burger “joint” (hottest now also…

Who likes reading in bed? I do! But I also like looking at nice pictures in bed. Of the burger variety of course. Knowing I like burgers (like? love!), last year the kind folk at Murdoch Books sent me this beauty of a burger recipe book called Hamburger Gourmet, and I’ve been enjoying it every…

75 burgers. 8 Bruce Springsteen concerts. 6 flights. 15 trains. 4 car journeys. 8 queues. 100s Bruce Buds. 4 Grey Hairs. 2 inches. 1 dress size. 54 blog posts. 1 important burger chat. That’s the edited version for those tight on time. Have I really eaten that many burgers? I won’t talk about them all,…

Imagine going to see a band you love. Imagine strolling up to the venue ten minutes before they come on stage, because you’ve been enjoying a leisurely drink in the pub beforehand. Imagine not having to conform to an orderly line, or not having to agonise over the number of wrist bands available. Imagine not…
