PART 6 - JUNE: MEAT MARKET (Covent Garden)

Phew. Just had to get that out of the way.

Ordered: dead hippie burger, green chilli burger, buffalo wings,  dead hippie fries

Dead hippie burger - double cheese burger plus grilled onions, lettuce and dead hippie sauce. The dead hippie sauce is just like big mac sauce giving the total effect of a vastly improved big mac with less bun and more high quality beef.

Green Chilli burger: MM do two types of chilli burger. The red variety comes with beef chilli mince on top of their double cheeseburger. The green instead is topped with a heap of chopped green chillies. We chose the green! The tasty cheeseburger pairing shines through and is warmed nicely by a zing of chilli heat.

I had half of each burger with my accomplice,  Chris, and they both disappeared quickly.

Aside from the quality of the burgers (at a reasonable size), the other thing that stood out was the generously portioned sides that were given to us in full takeaway TINS.

You could have chilli fries, skinny french fries topped with mince chilli, cheese and more green chillies (making a chilli french fry lasagna) or you could have the dead hippie fries which were topped with grilled onions cheese and their dead hippie sauce.

Surprisingly the buffalo wings were similarly generous. More than enough for two people came a pile of wings with blue cheese dips to use if you so wished. The wings themselves were done in the more traditional buffalo wing style, no batter, and let the meat on the bone stand out.

As the name might suggest, all the items containing MEAT are really where this place stands out. The fries are ordinary skinny fries but throw chilli mince on top and you have a winner. Similarly the MEAT is the strongest part of the burgers (which have very little in the way of salad to interfere with the MEAT flavour) and  MEATy wings. Not one for vegetarians then.
