Just the mention of Verona made me break out in a sweat. I’m a die-hard Italy fan, but I had never visited. And I never really wanted to. Why? Well I don’t like all that clichéd romantic stuff. Red roses, serenades, hand in hand street strolling? I’d rather hold an ice cream thanks. But as…

Who looks at porn online? I do. I look at burger porn every single day. The internet is littered with it – from Instagram, to Twitter, to whole websites such as Pornburger. Every day I’m seduced by pictures and videos of soft bouncy buns, juicy patties and dressed up lettuce causing me endless excitement and satisfaction….

Let me start by saying this. I f*cking love Lisbon. I am flying that Portuguese flag, high. I’m considering wearing one on my back, like a cape. Lisbon has everything. EVERYTHING. Now I love Lisbon so much that I will soon be writing one epic blog post on what/where to eat/drink/see/do. In the meantime I’m…

What makes a good burger? Soft bouncy bun, the kind that doesn’t tear at the slightest prod? Juicy medium rare patty, with a specific meat to fat ratio? Gooey cheese, salty and generous enough to drape over the lettuce, but not so much that it takes over? And so it goes on. You know what…

According to locals, to enjoy life like a giant panda you must limit yourself to three key activities:1) eating 2) relaxing 3) having sex once a yearTempting. In parts. On my visit I embraced number one on…

Eat a burger, go to a gig. The two come hand in hand for me, and for several others I’m sure. One of those “others” is my dad. So when we went to see Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes play in Shepherd’s Bush, it was a natural decision to have a burger together before. …

Boom! A (relatively) new burger has exploded onto the London burger scene, and it’s as boom as the name suggests. Out west in Notting Hill, burgers are now being served with a loud Jamaican twist at BOOM Burger. Order at the counter choosing from the beefy and bacon jam “boom” burger, jerk chicken burger, fish…

This seemingly unimportant burger became much more significant when Springsteen joined the stage with The Rolling Stones in Lisbon recently. I get through a lot of burgers. I’m too embarrassed to tell you how many. Let’s just say about 50% of the burgers I eat make it on to here. I need to choose the…

There was a crotch thrusting, fist clenching, lip twitching sweaty night of passion in Italy this week. Don’t worry, it’s not how it might sound. But it was just as exciting. Always fond of a jaunt to Italy, and with Springsteen’s touring schedule up in the air for the foreseeable future, I booked tickets to…

As a Springsteen fan I often feel surrounded by mediocre, lack lustre versions of his songs. Pale imitations. Clumsy forgeries of masterworks. But not always. One Welsh singer-songwriter has spectacularly, and very successfully, nailed it. Recording an album of covers can be one of a musician’s most challenging tasks: how do you remain true to…
