How do you maintain your youthful complexion? It may sound like a question better suited to one of Hollywood’s glamorous A-listers as opposed to being the first thing I’m tempted to ask an emerging rock talent. Taking up his uncle Clarence Clemons’ spot in the E Street Band, Jake Clemons has been touring with Bruce…

Following my burger disaster in Ella, I carried on travelling north in Sri Lanka to the historical city of Kandy. I arrived in Kandy late at night. It was raining, again, and I was hungry, again. During the eight hour train journey I’d been fantasising over all the dahl, fish curry, roti, and kottu I…

Ella is a little village in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country. It’s the place you come to to stretch your legs on long hikes, and wander around endless green hills, tea plantations and waterfalls. I didn’t want to come to Ella. I was travelling north from the coast of Sri Lanka heading to…

*This blog post first appeared on website Civilian Global who were keen for me to share my love of burgers, Bruce Springsteen, food and travel. I don’t remember the first time I heard Bruce Springsteen’s music. I’d love to tell you I recall those first few notes of “Thunder Road”, that the opening lines of…

It should never have come to this. I started Burgers and Bruce with a vow to find the best burgers worldwide for travelling Springsteen fans and other food lovers to try.

And I’m also not talking about the first time you ride a bike, get drunk, smoke a cigarette or see Bruce Springsteen either… 2012. Springsteen announces concert dates in New York, a city filled with so many food options my…

When non Springsteen fans hear how many shows I’ve seen on the Wrecking Ball tour they say I’m crazy. I’ll admit I’ve had my moments, but is it that much of a shocker? Is my behaviour really that irrational? I don’t think so. In the grand scheme of things, I’m pretty restrained. I meet people…

Living in London you might assume that I am spoilt with a choice of new burger joints to try at lunch. You’d be wrong. As much as I’d love to be having a laugh over a burger on my lunch break, the reality is I’m sat at my desk at work. This isn’t because I’m…

I’ve always been a bit unsure about Five Guys burgers. The thing is, Five Guys opened in London at the same time as Shake Shack, and there will always be a special place in my heart for Shake Shack because that’s where the idea for this blog started, before seeing Springsteen in NYC (sorry, have I said…

Bruce Springsteen has a way of convincing me that I am a brilliant singer. If you ever see a girl walking down the street in London, headphones in hollering ‘THIS TRAIN” that’ll be me listening to Land Of Hope And Dreams. I’m not embarrassed at all, but for some reason my friends and family are. Apparently it’s…
