Bleecker Street

Spitalfields

  • Purpose:     Burger Assessment

  • Good for:    Peer approval approval

  • Verdict:       I was hoping for top burger - and got it. Despite being a bit soggy at the back end, the bun was nice, and held the meat well. The meat itself was tasty, if a bit greasy (two patties, greedy pig - serves you right the about the sogginess!) and the lack of toppings wasn't an issue. Cheese was a bot lost along the way. On the whole, it more or less matched the hype. If that's the right word. Even the skin on chips were crispy, and a good choice of tinned beers. Prices in line with lesser tasting options.

  • Burger:        Oh yes.

  • Cost:            £££

Turner & Roast

Truman Brewery

  • Purpose:     Curry Avoidance*

  • Good for:    Serendipity

  • Verdict:       Just passing really, when I remembered the market, and wandered over to T&R. Nice meat hanging around, but hey - theres a burger on the menu. Weirdly, despite not much being right, it was good - the larger meat patty wasn't caramelised (so not so much taste), cheese not really noticeable, the bun was a chewy item, and in combo with the toppings meant it was slipping out sideways all the time. Bizarrely good eating. Chips OK, no beer option but available within sliding distance.

  • Burger:        Don't drop it.

  • Cost:            £££
