The Byron “Big D” 8oz premium burger
So… I want to keep this short and sweet as I only just wrote about Byron. Today, Byron launched their brand new premium 8oz patty developed in conjunction with O Sheas in Knightsbridge, and I had reserved two at the Byron Soho branch earlier in the day. This burger could only come one way, in “classic” form, in their plain white bun with fixings of a slice of tomato, lettuce, red onion and mayonnaise with a long slice of pickle on the side.

Byron Burger: What is the perfect burger?
What is my perfect burger?
We can break this burger down to its constituent parts, the bun, the condiments, the garnish, the cheese and the most important part, the patty. The heart and soul of every burger is the patty and this is where we will start. Lean cuts of beef tend to make very dry burgers and it is the fat in the burger that gives it the best flavour. There is also the question of getting the right texture to aid both during cooking and final product. A course grind is preferred.

Shake Shack, Madison Square Park, New York
I can probably count the number of times I’ve really felt an urge like eating a burger twelve months leading up to the Shack Shake burger on one hand. Do I eat McDonalds Big Macs. Yes.

In London, there’s always Hache or Byron Burger, the latter being my preference. Girluninterrupt and fearandrecords had both told me to check this place out and prepare to queue… What a perfect way to waste an hour or so in New York… Continue Reading…
Meat Beast Whopper, Burger King
But does this look appetising to you?
And then there is this…The Burger King £95 Whopper. Wagyu Beef… From the Telegraph. If I was supremely wealthy, the kind to never wear the same shoes twice… ever, I might try a slice of one.
A Guy In New York: Good Eats
Taken from A Guy In New York: Good Eats… definately one to keep an eye on as I plan my next business trip to New York in the next two months. I’ve only eaten at one place they recommend and that is Chatham Restaurant. I went there in 2007 by myself to kill time (and have lunch). I got seriously lost getting there on foot without knowing the actual address and I thought the food was pretty average, perhaps let down more because I had such a mission getting there.
