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…

The Dutch love Bruce Springsteen. Well the ones I’ve met at Bruce Springsteen concerts do. You know what else The Dutch love, potentially more than Bruce? Mayonnaise. I recently found myself in Amsterdam, and as has become the norm, I set out to find some of the best burgers in the capital of The Netherlands….

A few months back I left the safe haven of burger filled London and made my way to Brighton on the south coast for some burgers that were catching my eye on twitter. I wrote about the burgers here, raving about The Troll’s Pantry and the passionate and imaginative mind behind these delicious creations. With…

When I first started Burgers and Bruce my aim was to review a burger in every city that Bruce Springsteen plays. Whilst I don’t doubt my ability to eat that many burgers, it’s not been as easy as you might think. The problem is, I don’t want to eat any old, sorry for itself burger….

This Saturday, Springsteen is playing…

A Burgers and Bruce report. One of the first questions people ask me when they discover my, er, passion for burgers and Bruce Springsteen, is whether Bruce himself likes burgers. My answer is always “of course he does”. Because really, why wouldn’t you like burgers? But I keep having a dream. I’ve had it a…

This post is very brief because tomorrow I’m flying to Italy to see Springsteen and I haven’t packed, booked a place to stay, and perhaps most importantly, found my passport yet. My priority this evening was to go to Shake Shack, one of the newest burger openings in London. Shake Shack was originally started up…

I’m smiling so much I’ve given myself a headache. It’s not from the carafe of wine I’ve been persuaded into at 11.30am, and no I’m not daydreaming about Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band either. My friend is speaking to me, but I’m too distracted by the synthy ‘beats’ of one of my favourite songs to hear…
