London’s most prestigious burger blogger (er no, not me) has created his own burger menu. Burgerac is my fav London burger detective, and his taste in music is almost as good as mine. He’s not a Bruce Springsteen fan (I’m working on it) but he is all about great tunes. What a relief! London now…

Fit pizza. Made by Springsteen fans. It’s time to talk about Pizza Pilgrims. As you may have seen, I’m verging on obsessed with Italy. Yes yes it’s a beautiful country, but the main reason I love it? The food. Carbs. I love carbs. Life is too short to not eat them. I can’t get to Italy…

Remember that time I ate five burgers in one day? Course you don’t. I do though, my jeans still don’t fit. That was National Burger Day 2013, a very exciting new day created by the people behind Mr Hyde. NBD is celebrated in two ways – either attending a massive outdoor burger event in London,…

What makes a good burger? Soft bouncy bun, the kind that doesn’t tear at the slightest prod? Juicy medium rare patty, with a specific meat to fat ratio? Gooey cheese, salty and generous enough to drape over the lettuce, but not so much that it takes over? And so it goes on. You know what…

Eat a burger, go to a gig. The two come hand in hand for me, and for several others I’m sure. One of those “others” is my dad. So when we went to see Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes play in Shepherd’s Bush, it was a natural decision to have a burger together before. …

Boom! A (relatively) new burger has exploded onto the London burger scene, and it’s as boom as the name suggests. Out west in Notting Hill, burgers are now being served with a loud Jamaican twist at BOOM Burger. Order at the counter choosing from the beefy and bacon jam “boom” burger, jerk chicken burger, fish…

Spuntino opened a few years back, and was the third project from the Polpo and Polpetto folk. Spuntino clogged my Twitter feed and crowded the web with reviews. I didn’t go – all the hype made me shudder. But now we are further on up the road (sorry, can’t help it), and this London take…

Are you one of those people loitering around the bakery section of the supermarket? I am. I can’t resist the smell of freshly baked bread. If you’re into that sort of thing too then you must get your ass down to The Joint in Brixton, South London. The Joint is well known for being one…

How much do you think is too much to spend on a burger? A tenner? Fifty quid? Last week saw some write ups of a crazily priced US$250 burger at Beer and Buns in NYC, filled with caviar, foie gras, kobe beef and truffle. Even if I had that cash to splash I wouldn’t over…

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…
