This week, London burger aficionados Bleecker Street and Lucky Chip combined forces to create a cheeseburger named the World Peace Double Bacon Cheeseburger.
Sometimes the best and worst thing you can say about a restaurant is: "it was good". But if your restaurant is part of the ever-growing and super popular MEATliquor chain then hearing that something was merely "good" is probably like a knife to the heart.
Let me start this review by saying that this place was so good we went back two weeks in a row because it was so delicious! Read on.
Bird in Shoreditch, London sells a mountainous fried chicken burger BETWEEN TWO GIANT FREAKING WAFFLES. What more do you need to know? Well, all of this...
I stumbled across the existence of Homeslice last week, a little joint serving massive pizzas with gourmet toppings in Seven Dials, Covent Garden. Apparently Homeslice started life as a food cart selling slices of pizza in the courtyard of an East London brewery. They now reside in a permanent fixed abode down a quaint little alleyway in Neal's Yard, where they knock out wood-fired pizza in their hand-built pizza oven. And all this in just a few years. Not bad, eh?
I imagine that when most people think about food in London one of the first places that comes to mind is Borough Market on the South Bank with its resident food trader stands and pop-up stalls selling yummy treats to foodies from all over the world. I am lucky enough to work just around the corner from Borough Market but those of you who have been there on your lunch break when you are not being a "tourist" know how absolutely packed it can be with dawdling sightseers. Not to mention that £7.50 for lunch every day does take it's toll on your wallet.
Salvation in Noodles: beaming like a little beacon of yumminess in the face of a long journey home, serving up pho and other Vietnamese delicacies.
Better pack your finest adult-bib and toothpicks, because we're going to meat town.
Let's play a game. I bet I can grab your attention in three words: barbecue, ribs, beer. Did it work? I kneeeew it. That's basically the genius behind Duke's Brew & Que in Haggerston. A traditional Texan style, wood-smoke barbecue joint plonked in the middle of northeast London serving up ribs, burgers, pulled pork and all manner of other delicious meaty, smoky treats.
