BLEECKER STREET BURGER
London
has recently been drowning in an overflow of new burger places. They are
popping up on a weekly basis, and each one seems to be the ‘newest’ and
‘hottest’ burger in town. This week we introduce you to Bleecker Street Burger,
which isn’t a newcomer as it established itself right around the 2012 Olympics,
but it has now developed a new cult following amongst many Londoners in the
know. Not a restaurant but a burger van, Bleecker Street Burger moves around
London during the week spreading its deliciousness across the capital. Bleecker
Street Burger is a black van serving simple American ‘New York’ style greasy
burgers. You have the options of the cheeseburger, the double cheeseburger and
the blue cheeseburger, which is naturally served with blue cheese. On my latest
lunchtime visit to Bleecker Street Burger, where it was parked on the ‘Kerb’ by Kings Cross St
Pancras, I opted for the double cheeseburger with French fries. The double
cheese burger is cooked medium rare and comes served in a glazed sesame bun
with American cheese and nothing else; no disguises. The burger was delicious,
the meat was phenomenal and the overall experience was nothing short of
explosive. The meat literally melted in my mouth, and the bun was flawlessly
toasted and crispy; it was an amazing burger, and an incredibly generous
portion. The hand cut fries were also good but did not live up to the quality
of the main dish. My only complaint about the burger is that I would have
preferred it to be slightly more cooked, although it did not bother me so much.
Bleecker Street Burger is highly recommended and I urge you all to log onto
their website and try to catch them at a London location near you; it’s
definitely worth travelling to and will not leave you disappointed.
