Wannaburger Edinburgh

In London the burger war rages with patty and bun, meat liquor, Byron, burger and lobster, Tommis all vying for first place. Edinburgh and Glasgow are following suit it would seem. James vs burger is a comprehensive and useful resource for the latest in the Glasgow Burger scene.
HI had sampled what the Cambridge bar in Edinburgh had to offer so now it was Wannaburgers time. I desperately wanted to like it with its too cool for school vibe and free condiments but the burger was far too American ( in a bad way) for my taste. Although the patty itself was decent the bun was too sweet, the cheese plastic and the gherkin sweet as well. No, no and no. The shake was decent but still not as good as Byrons. I have emailed them again asking when they are opening a branch in Glasgow!

Hache, hurray.

On Saturday we met up with Will in Camden at Hache. I was determine to give this place another go and I am glad I did because I ended up with very fine burger.

I think the trick is to be specific.
I opted for the Canadian (cheddar and bacon) medium-rare with no salad, sauce or mayo. It worked! It came exactly as ordered and was very tasty. HI enjoyed the Blue cheese version.

Will, the Catalan.


Unlike other diners who have written about the place I didn't notice anything amiss about the service. Maybe they knew who they were dealing with!

Wish we had a place like this in Glasgow. Actually, no I don't as then I would be a fat Heifer.
