the union chilli burger
This is the beginning of the search for the top burgers in london.
It’s no real secret that burgers have slowly been devouring the capital in the past few years and I think it’s only appropriate for me to highlight some of the burger bars which are ever-present around town. On this outing, I chose to try five places:
- Gourmet Burger Kitchen - the original posh burger bar now serving buffalo.
- Burger Shack- smollensky’s take on the ol’ bun.
- Hamburger Union - One of the few which serves a steak burger.
- Hache Burgers - Self anointed connoisseurs and aspiring to be the best.
- Byron Hamburgers - proper burgers and nothing else.
Who has the best beef? Which bun can soak up the most juices? Which one serves the biggest shakes and just who exactly serves the best burgers in london.

Weekly round-up of yummi-news from around london and the blogosphere. Now released every Sunday and brought to you by a London eater.
I’m cruising & dining on the thames, running circles around Maze, thinking about a burlesque show in a seedy venue and making five minute cakes in the microwave.

Everybody does it. The first time they set foot in London, they are sure to hit the embankment area to catch the London eye, possibly the mayor’s offices and take obligatory pictures of tower bridge. After that, the thames just becomes this ‘been there, done that’ non-event. Surely such a scenic river holds much potential. What happens when you put together a beautifully laid yacht, a sunny autumn friday afternoon, excellent service, cool clientele and excellent food? You call it the veuve clicquot cruise.

The thames is beautiful. It invokes this lovely sea-breeze feel ( its a river I know ) but you can’t help but feel the buzz emanating from the city which surrounds it. There are just so many landmarks, the tate museum, the shakespeare globe theatre, the london assembly, canary wharf, the O2 , I could go on and on. Suffice to say the river still holds a certain charm, if only there was a way to get londoners excited about it again.
The food is awesome, read all about it here…

After a long morning staring at that spreadsheet or coming out from yet another mind numbing meeting with the powers that be, you are greeted by yet more paper pushing. You are very much looking forward to a quiet lunch at your desk, to double check those numbers perhaps and maybe steal a quick minute to catch a daily dose of your favourite foodblog updates. For some apparent reason, you have landed upon this site and are five seconds away (from getting frustrated by my reminder of yet another morning in the bland and soulless climb up the corporate ladder) from hitting Google on your bookmarks…
Wait.
I’m about to give you ten reasons why you should keep reading this.

Gordon Ramsay looms over British cooking like a big bad shadow. He owns no less than ten restaurants (in the UK) under his label and his formidable marketing machine is used extensively to turn those restaurants into brand names in their own right. All that gloss is seemingly a way of guaranteeing a quality fine dining experience, albeit one that feels manufactured (aren’t they all to some extent?) . My visit to Maze was not based on Gordon’s merit alone, rather I was drawn to the man in the kitchen, Jason Atherton. He has gained a cult status since opening Maze and I had to find out just how creative his unique taster menu really was.
