Here I am holding a massive F Off sandwich in Madrid. Apparently it’s one of the biggest in Spain, and it’s a weighty, glistening, 8 inch heap Galician bread, ham and molten cheese. You know what’s coming. Yes, I recommend you try it. The zapatilla (meaning sneaker, because it resembles one in size) is *the*…

What’s all this! A black bun?? With a pink wodge of fish? Not the usual burger I write about on here, but it’s a good one. You may have seen me banging on about loving Lisbon. I may have said I want to wear the Portuguese flag around my neck, like a cape. I still…

London’s most prestigious burger blogger (er no, not me) has created his own burger menu. Burgerac is my fav London burger detective, and his taste in music is almost as good as mine. He’s not a Bruce Springsteen fan (I’m working on it) but he is all about great tunes. What a relief! London now…

I realised something in Lisbon. I am a nightmare to travel with. Not because I’m dozy, or lazy, or tight, or uninterested. But because I like food. Hell, I love food. I love it so much that when I go away I create endless lists of places I want to eat and drink, and then I start doing…

The view. The view, the view, the view. Oh and the croissant loaf. Location Alfama is regarded as a desirable part of Lisbon, where all the wealthy used to hang. They abandoned the area to fisherman in the Middle Ages (they were scared of earthquakes), but sadly Alfama was one of the only parts of…

LX Boutique stands for “Lisbon Experience” and this babe of a boutique hotel gave me just that. Location If you’re looking to enjoy the nightlife of Lisbon (and why wouldn’t you, because it’s MEGA) then this is the hotel to stay at. Located at the bottom of a very steep hill in Cais de Sodre,…

A few weeks back Jake Clemons played in the living room of a small town I can’t pronounce in The Netherlands. This all starts back in January 2014, when in the pit of one of Bruce Springsteen‘s Cape Town concerts I met a gorgeous Dutch girl called Ellen. Thanks to super advanced technology (the internet…

“Steam burger.” It’s the new taste of the world, apparently. I had to try one. I’d say in the simplest form, the steamed burger is an amalgamation of a small flat burger and a calzone. But without any of the good parts. The bun was sickly sweet, and the patty was a thin little sliver…

Fit pizza. Made by Springsteen fans. It’s time to talk about Pizza Pilgrims. As you may have seen, I’m verging on obsessed with Italy. Yes yes it’s a beautiful country, but the main reason I love it? The food. Carbs. I love carbs. Life is too short to not eat them. I can’t get to Italy…

Remember that time I ate five burgers in one day? Course you don’t. I do though, my jeans still don’t fit. That was National Burger Day 2013, a very exciting new day created by the people behind Mr Hyde. NBD is celebrated in two ways – either attending a massive outdoor burger event in London,…
