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…

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…

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…

Ella is a little village in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country. It’s the place you come to to stretch your legs on long hikes, and wander around endless green hills, tea plantations and waterfalls. I didn’t want to come to Ella. I was travelling north from the coast of Sri Lanka heading to…

*This blog post first appeared on website Civilian Global who were keen for me to share my love of burgers, Bruce Springsteen, food and travel. I don’t remember the first time I heard Bruce Springsteen’s music. I’d love to tell you I recall those first few notes of “Thunder Road”, that the opening lines of…

Amsterdam isn’t known for it’s food, which is a shame because one of Amsterdam’s most famed tourist offerings will make you very hungry. Yes, all those museums, markets and tulips will make you very hungry indeed… I spent a weekend in he capital of The Netherlands, recently. It had never occurred to me to go…

When I first started Burgers and Bruce my aim was to review a burger in every city that Bruce Springsteen plays. Whilst I don’t doubt my ability to eat that many burgers, it’s not been as easy as you might think. The problem is, I don’t want to eat any old, sorry for itself burger….

Momzy Burger is famous in Antigua, and you have my word that they taste especially good at 4am after a night of rum punch in the Rasta Shack, which is the place to party on this fun island. There’s no Springsteen played at the Rasta Shack, but I was introduced to a great song ‘Dutty Angela‘…

Kizilkayalar Burger lovers are always going on about soggy buns. You can’t blame them, it’s pretty rank to bite into a burger and find the bottom has been soaked in a limp unnecessary tomato making the whole thing wet and claggy. Yuck. That’s why on a recent trip to Istanbul I was a bit wary…
