Vegetarians are always complaining. Not in general, but about burgers. I get it. They get the bum deal. No veggie wants to head out for a burger with a meat loving friend to have the restaurant fob them off with a big grey watery mushroom in a bun. That’s no burger, that’s just fungus flopping…

*Since I first posted this review I’ve been told that the Flying Burger Company has gone down hill a little. Hope that’s not the case! Up until this point I’ve been unconvinced by the idea of having a burger delivered. A few months back I tried Chosen Bun burger delivery with my friends at work, and whilst…

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…

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,…

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…

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 then I met Bruce Springsteen. And Bruce loves burgers. He has a “fondness for a good diner burger” in fact. Simple, unpretentious, classic…

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…
