[Preview] Burger & Shake, 47 Marchmont Street, London, WC1N 1AP

Burger & Shake opens its doors this weekend on Marchmont Street, just around the corner from Russell Square tube station.

I have to admit to being a little turned off by their marketing efforts - the 'sexy burgers, triumphant hotdogs etc.' stuff, but heading along to the preview I going to admit that I'm quietly impressed.

In recent weeks my burger-to-exercise ratio has escalated in favour of the former, so I was congratulating myself more than usual for nailing a decent bike ride on Saturday, and for having no foodie-nonsense scheduled until the Thursday. Then I got an email. Would I and some others like to pop to the Admiral Codrington on Tuesday to try something new? My heart contracted painfully in fat-related protest, then relaxed into a little jump-for-joy: when Fred Smith says ‘I’ve got something new’, one has to get involved.
