I’ve been emailing people loads of tips about where to eat in New York, and then I realised I really should just stick them up on the old blog. Along with this list, I’d also check out this feature I wrote for the Guardian’s travel section where I use Instagram to make food-based decisions in the…

Some of you may have seen that last year I went to Miami to eat all the food. The plan was to meet up with the Burger Beast, Miami’s biggest food blogger, and get him to show us a local side of the city, away from all those people doing weights and yoga and shit….

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…

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…

Spuntino opened a few years back, and was the third project from the Polpo and Polpetto folk. Spuntino clogged my Twitter feed and crowded the web with reviews. I didn’t go – all the hype made me shudder. But now we are further on up the road (sorry, can’t help it), and this London take…

Are you one of those people loitering around the bakery section of the supermarket? I am. I can’t resist the smell of freshly baked bread. If you’re into that sort of thing too then you must get your ass down to The Joint in Brixton, South London. The Joint is well known for being one…

How much do you think is too much to spend on a burger? A tenner? Fifty quid? Last week saw some write ups of a crazily priced US$250 burger at Beer and Buns in NYC, filled with caviar, foie gras, kobe beef and truffle. Even if I had that cash to splash I wouldn’t over…

*Since I first posted this review I’ve been told that the Flying Burger Company has gone down hill a little. Hope that’s not the case! Up until this point I’ve been unconvinced by the idea of having a burger delivered. A few months back I tried Chosen Bun burger delivery with my friends at work, and whilst…

Burgers helped lure me to Cape Town. For a few months I couldn’t decide if I should go (in fact I was definitely not going), but with ten days to go, the temptation of Bruce Springsteen concerts, sunshine and big juicy burgers was all too much for me to handle. One of the burger places…
