[Review] Vigata Burgers, Kings Cross - A Burger of Two Halves

Vigata burgers is something of an anomaly. It's situated up the hill from Kings Cross towards Angel, on Pentonville Road and is ostensibly a pizza restaurant. Emblazoned with red livery and 'Ristorante Pizzeria', it's only when you get up close and personal with the menu that you notice there's a section dedicated to burgers.

Vigata Burger

It feels odd to have an Italian-style restaurant that also serves burgers - but then again, they serve pizza and burgers, what's not to love, right?

[Review] Pizza Hut Cheeseburger Pizza. With Bacon.

Hello. You're going to enjoy this. A lot more than I did.

I'd like to introduce you to the Pizza Hut Cheeseburger Pizza.

Pizza Hut Cheeseburger Pizza

An aberration that could only have been dreamed up on the back of a marathon crystal meth session, and a serious case of American junk food trend following.

I have to say, the minute the flyer dropped through the door I wanted one. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame, as ironically unaware as the moth is, that the result would be doom.

Still, I was able to add bacon FOR JUST 50p. How could anyone without a cast iron will resist that offer...

Build-a-Burger gummy sweets get the Hamburger Me! treatment

Let it not be said that I only give you unadulterated meaty burger porn on this blog. Although, granted there's a fair bit of that. I do sometimes look at burgery stuff that doesn't revolve around grilled meat, gooey cheese, and squishy buns...and this is just such an occasion.  

Only natural flavours and colours go into the burger components...that's a good start

[Review] Burger at The Ring, Southwark

I had a Huge Pole in The Ring the other day. Trust me, correct use of initial caps is very important in that last sentence. In fact, as The Ring was full, I had a Huge Pole outside The Ring.

The Burger from The Ring, Southwark

Right, now I've got that off my chest, I can reveal The Ring is actually a relatively nondescript pub in Southwark, and it holds a secret. It's currently serving the full range of franks from Big Apple Hot Dogs, alongside a short burger menu. So I sampled both.

Burger Fest 2014, 15 March, Hackney Downs Studios

The folks over at TwentySomethingLondon have put together BURGER FEST 2014, which brings together five burger joints for one day only - 15th March 2014 - under one roof, at Hackney Downs Studios.

[Review] Breddos Burgers, Slider Bar at The Player, Soho

For many, Breddos need no introduction. They exploded onto the London street food scene last year when, seemingly from nowhere, they came second against Luardos in street feast stand off 'Taco Wars'. Since then, they've been making massive inroads into street food in the capital with burgers, chicken and desserts.

The Double Classic burger from Breddos in Slider Bar

My first sampling was their burger at National Burger Day, but they've been quietly pimping their wares in Slider Bar at The Player in Soho for a while now, and before that were neighbours to Lucky Chip in Netil Market - so when they invited me to visit them, it would have been rude NOT to give their burger offering the Burger Me treatment...

[Review] The Flying Burger Company - Burgers in West London

The Flying Burger Company flew onto the horizon at the end of November 2013, landing initially in West London - serving a spattering of W postcodes around SheBu, Notting Hill, and Goldhawk Road.

Pan Ham burger from Flying Burger Co.

Now, I currently don't live in West London, and definitely not in Shepherd's Bush (although I did in 2003 - why did I move?!) so the Flying Burger Co.'s Chief Airhostess organised a tasting in a pub on Goldhawk Road, a ragtag bunch of passengers had the opportunity to sample Flying Burger Co.'s entire menu.
