The thought of eating insects repulses me, I cannot lie. I think the whole “I’m a Celebrity” thing is quite cool to watch on television but the fact remains, cooked or uncooked, insects are not for me! I mean, the thought of eating mealworms or maggots is more disturbing than it is funny. How people can expect this to be something that takes off into a global market is beyond me but hey, let’s see where it goes! Have a read of this article let us know what YOU think?!
After being cancelled last year due to the pandemic Winter Wonderland once again opened its doors to the public for Christmas. The booking procedure was a little different having to book in ‘sessions’ in an attempt to limit the number of people attending the Hyde Park venue. I have not been to Winter Wonderland before; I have only seen it on multiple social media profiles and spoken to friends about it. My son’s birthday seemed a perfect opportunity to debut in Winter Wonderland, London, albeit in a quiet morning session from 10 am – 1 pm. Booking System and Entry…
Popeyes Fried Chicken, although technically out of our jurisdiction, is a brand that has had my eyes watering because of its inaccessible journey across the pond. Just the thought of those golden pieces of chicken is enough to make a grown man feel warm inside. Seeing that they are about to launch in the UK on November 20 means a trip to Stratford for us!London’s New Vegan Burger I have been reluctant to try any vegan burger, it really just is not my bag! However, with the addition of a Red Bean Burger with a ‘creole’ seasoning, I am ready to…
Hawksmoor has put together a brilliant Christmas Turkey Burger recipe for the upcoming holidays. Remember when we used to look at Christmas from December 1? Well, being organised never did any harm, so why not have a look at starting early with this brilliant recipe from Hawksmoor? Christmas Came Early! With Cranberry Ketchup, yep I said it, Cranberry Ketchup this recipe could be something a little different. We definitely think it is worth giving a go as Hawkmoor has to go down as one of Londons best restaurants and has some great London Burgers. Check it Out! https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/christmas-burger/
We’ve eaten Burgers for a yearA little over a year and 63 reviews down makes you reflect on the journey that is Cheeseburgerme. Our first review was done in preparation for the launch of the site in the shape of the Nanny Bills Hot Box Burger DIY using our unique scoring system. Although there has been no need of changing our scoring system our understanding of the scoring has certainly evolved through the last 13 months. Perhaps some of our scores in the initial stages were too harsh some, perhaps, too generous. We are at a stage now where we…
Burj Al Arab – Instagrammable Settings At CheeseburgerMe.com, we are primarily looking for the best cheeseburger in London, but that does not stop us from looking out for the best cheeseburgers around the world too. On a recent trip to Dubai, I had a chance to get out for a couple of memorable cheeseburgers which I will cover here in the blog. In the last post, I tackled my views on Black Tap, and this week I want to talk about a very memorable lunch at the Burj al Arab, the landmark hotel on the Dubai coast that looks like…
At CheeseburgerMe.com, we are primarily looking for the best cheeseburger in London, but that does not stop us from looking out for the best cheeseburgers around the world too. On a recent trip to Dubai, I had a chance to get out for a couple of memorable cheeseburgers which I will cover here in the blog. First, I want to talk about Black Tap (https://blacktap.com/) which is a small but highly regarded burger and beer chain out of NY City. I had a chance to try it a few years ago at the Marina Sands Mall in Singapore where it was…
You may not be aware of it, but we live in a world riddled with advertisements. From mobile game promos appearing every few minutes on YouTube to the jarring Spotify sponsor breaks, promotions and commercials are a staple of today’s marketing-centric world. In fact, many marketers claim that the advertising industry is one of the largest of its kind in the world. So why is a Five Guys Burger one that we just know about? Five Guys is the quintessential underdog, with no flashy ads or endorsements. It started as one family-run business and has since transformed into hundreds of franchises worldwide.…
Ingredients for a Healthy Burger When it comes to January there are so many people that jump on the New Year New Me bandwagon, rightly so, especially after an absolute blowout of food comas during the Christmas holidays. I like to throw caution to the wind and train like a crazy person in January, like summer is a few weeks away and the remanence of a six-pack may return in a few days. The diet is always one that is tough to re-arrange after the alcohol-ridden period between Christmas and New Year so I thought I would head to the…
What is Fast Food in London Like? To be clear, when we are talking about fast food in London we are talking about food that you can literally grab and go. London is one of the most diverse places when it comes to food and many times I get a little down about not having access to it on a daily basis; then I remember how much I am saving by actually cooking my own food and it feels better! All being said, London has a few areas of absolute gold when it comes to grabbing something on a lunch…
