PART 7 - JULY: BUKOWSKI GRILL (Shoreditch Boxpark)

This was a fallback site after an attempt to have Secret Cinema BTTF Hill Valley Lou's Cafe failed by Lou being out on break. In a way I'm glad we did as this was a surprise hit that is worth another visit.

Ordered:
Fat gringo burger
Burbon chicken burger
Both come with triple cooked chips

Burbon chicken burger brings back good memories of America's (not authentic at all) Asian stalls that would sell teriyaki-like grilled chicken on sticks or more often pop them in a bap to make a burger here. This one delivered on the moreish sweet BBQ meat and added just the right amount of salad to balance. One thing of note is that the tasty nature of the meat meant we had to stop twice to prevent the chicken disappearing in to our mouths leaving the rest behind. Such is the danger of noms.

The fat gringo is a good standard cheeseburger with bacon, salad and their special sauce for a little bit more variation in flavour. Single patty was good, topped with crispy/candied bacon and housed in a brioche bun that wasn't too sweet. However the cheese was a little overpowering for the meat. Mild cheese or blue would have been a better accompaniment.

Bacon on a cheeseburger is always a winner. Bacon win.

Triple cooked chips can often promise a lot and disappoint if anything short but the ones that came with each burger delivered well. Perfect golden crunch through to a little white fluffy centre and the right level of saltiness to hit the "just one more" mark every time.
