SS looks worth a try, i was just in NY but would have struggled to wait over an hour for a burger. Did try BLT burger though, owned by Laurent Tourondel. very nice, but what else does one expect in the states? agree with your summary re hache. mine was a bit dry and really wasnt better than GBK. cant wait to try byron, when’s the south london branch opening?!

Loved Byron when I last visited London. I like their "simple, adorned" philosophy. Thanks again for bringing this place to our attention. Great post Kang. Loved Byron when I last visited London.

Ollie - Thanks mate - how goes things on your end? Haven't heard from you in a while, perhaps we should meet up? I was a Hache believer initially but I think Byron really are on fire so far. Mr Noodles - I never thought of the name actually, yeah, they have an air of superiority around them Hache, which is not always welcomed. For me, I used to be cheesed off with their no photography policy, but it seems to be relaxed now. Kerri - Yes I think Byron connecting with the public is definitely a great move for them. Oh definitely give Hache a try, they still have many fans, I would be interested in your thoughts too :) LF - cheers mate :) how was the cooking over the weekend? Trust you had a good one. Michele - thanks! Are you another west londoner? Kings road is my closests Hache :D BurgerDogBOy - Yeah, there was a burger explosion in the last couple of years in London :) Yvonne - You must give Byron a try! Mylastbite - thank you :) Gastro1 - ahh Joe Allen's - right, I'll look that up and give it a try. Thanks for that :D Sabrina - thank you again, very kind words :) Helen G - Yes yes, I have to agree - the Hache bun is outrageous indeed, but the Byron is lovely, I think the byron buns are the best in London so far, certainly the best Ive had so far. Helen P - Lol, I didn't know that, ah, Y likes field mushrooms too! Tiramisuu - Totally agree with you - burgers should be serves as B's!! Rachel Sweeting - Give Byron a try, I used to a hache convert..took about a year to change my mind though :) Mark – yeah bigger photos, its 660px now instead of 560px wide, has more impact I think…but also means that I have to work the technique harder.

I've not been to either still, as I'm not the biggest fan of burgers (there, I've said it now, but on your blog, not mine!).

Tom was so kind to indulge me in the burger bun challenge! I was amazed at how many types of bun they made for us to try! The burgers are great too. I do love some things about GBK too - the smoked chilli mayo for example. Hache on the other hand - I am not a fan. The meat is good but that ciabatta bun is absolutely outrageous. I expect everyone is bored of me going on about it now though so I'll stop! Well as you probably know, I love Byron. Tom was so kind to indulge me in the burger bun challenge!
