Fatburger

Camden Town

Purpose: Pre-gig eats
Good for: Not sure
Verdict: Happy to find a new outlet, and an apparently popular one, ahead of Tyketto at Underworld (top gig), I was less happy with the experience. I'm non-plussed as to why anyone would love Fatburger - although I selected the components of a Cheeseburger I couldn't taste the meat or the cheese. Nothing positive, nothing negative. Fries OK, no beer. Equally annoyingly it took 15 minutes to produce a milkshake, ordered on it's own. Normally I wouldn't report on any other items I might order, as this is a "Cheeseburger, Fries and Drink" blog, but the hot sauce is pathetic - the hottest option available is like any old mexican chain table bottled sauce. All in all I didn't have a lot of fun. Going to Vegas in September, I'll check it out there.

"Magic Roundabout", Old Street (10 yards off underpass entrance to right of Tube entry), closed now resident at the Old Nunshead, Nunhead)

Purpose: Burger Assessment
Good for: Composite taste
Verdict: Overall I was a bit disappointed, as the meat was rare to the point of eating the lettuce the burger cames with, which (although the meat tasted OK) let it down. The overall taste remained good, but it could have been better. In fact it has been, the last time I had this item when my phone ran out of battery whilst taking the photo. Damn you Nokia. On the other hand, consistency is king. Curiously, the components of the burger are standard fare, but for some reason go together more nicely than other burgers. Weirdness abounds. Good portion of good fries, two bars in the same area serving nice, probably local, cider and beer.
