PART 4 - APRIL: HAWKSMOOR (Seven Dials)

YEAR OF THE BURGER part 4: The Hawksmoor

In the 4th month, April, YotB has gotten bigger than ever with 10 people coming along for this ride. The restaurant this time is Hawksmoor, Seven Dials.
Things were threatening to be a disaster as I had just come down with a fever for Easter after developing tonsillitis. However with the help of willing companions/accomplices adversity was overcome. Which is a good thing since there was much to go through.
The Hawksmoor has 3 burgers on its bar menu, each comes with either Triple-cooked Chips, Potatoes Roasted in Beef Dripping or a salad.
The 3 burgers on the menu are The Hawksmoor Burger, Kimchi Burger and The Third Burger.
The Hawksmoor Burger is a generous high-quality patty of beef cooked to preference with your choice of cheese, salad and marrow. The result is a beefy joy that was juicy without being messy or greasy.
The Kimchi Burger is very similar to the standard Hawksmoor with an underlayer of Kimchi in the salad and topped with side-rib of beef (which is much like braised beef). The result works surprisingly well and is worth its infamy but it does come at the cost of a lot of red liquid coming from the Kimchi. If you like a bit of spice and want to eat burgers like a vampire this is for you.
The final burger is this season's Third which comes in the form of The Five Pork Burger. The five porks come from pork, sausage meat, bacon and sides of sausage gravy and crispy crackling. An apple ketchup is also used.
All three offerings are fantastic and the large brioche bun does a great job of containing everything. The triple cooked chips and beef dripping potatoes are very good, very crispy and the cornflake milkshake was an unusual hit.
£15 for burger and potatoes/chips
