Fret not – have you tried the meatwagon? Best burger bar none http://www.themeatwagon.co.uk/

But i have to say burgers are last year, now it’s hot dogs. Really good NY-style one on the scene in old street. http://www.bigapplehotdogs.com/

As an expat Canadian living in London, I was quite thrilled to come across Burger Monday, run by American Daniel Young of youngandfoodish fame. We’ve only been to one Burger Monday event, but man was it good! Check out his website and come to the next pop-up….you’ll love it!

Congrats on all your successes, and looking forward to reading more here in the future!

Cheers,
Allison

I see that you’re a big fan of GBK; I must disagree. Maybe I’ve had a spell of bad luck, but every time I’ve been to one (including the branch in Liverpool, where I currently live) I’ve been distinctly underwhelmed. Have you ever visited any of the London-based Fine Burger Company’s restaurants? I think they’re vastly superior – if you haven’t been consider it a recommendation.

Keep up the good work, your blogs are a pleasure to read!

-Chris

You were awesome on Masterchef, I pitied the others becuase even though they were great cooks you were a superstar!
As someone who gew up in the States I totally agree with your comments on the lack of great burgers in the UK. I think Byron’s are an ok chain but don’t beat my own homemade versions.
Also, I feel there is a real need for decent brunch places. Why can’t we progress beyond bacon and egg’s in the UK? I am desperate for buttermilk pancakes or proper hashbrowns, luscious waffles, huevos racheros….Have you thought about lending your genius to breakfast offerings?
I am praying that your Masterchef win will enable you to start cooking for your loyal fans, like me!! Please keep us posted as to your future culinary plans.
Once again congratulations on your well deserved win!!
Meanwhile your pub in Euston looks really cool.

Susan

After seeing what you’re able to do on Master Chef, I find it hard to believe you lack the ability and connections to create a UK burger comparable to In N’ Out. Even something to fill the Taco Bell/ Del Taco void.

Come on, man. You’re our only hope. It doesn’t have to be forever. Get it started and then sell it off to Coca Cola. Use the money to fund your dream project. You will have helped yourself and made the world a better place for everyone at the same time.

Have you tried Mooli’s in Soho? Based on your food preferences, I think you’d really like it.
