@nibblerscribbler - Townhouse? Not heard of it before but its on the list. Especially for the martinis!

@LaissezFaire - Salted Caramel frozen custard milkshake was close to the best thing I had on the whole trip. Divine.

@ginandcrumpets - HEAVY

@Iheartcupcakes @catty @lizzie @kang - I am holding out for one. Be great, wouldn't it. Bump up burger depth in London! Maybe we should club together and open a franchise?

@Helen - Still haven't had one! Only reason why I wish I was closer to the east.

@Greedy Diva - Lovely to meet you too and hope the trip is going well. I know a friend of mine who headed into town whilst in transit just to get his hands on one of those burgers!

PS. I did queue for nearly an hour at Shake Shack in May and nearly missed my flight home in my desperate for a burger fix. Would have been worth it.

Hi Euwan, Great to meet you at Bentley's this week for some serious burger talk! Just taking another look at your tips before I fly out to New York tomorrow. Great drool provoking snaps. Luuurrve the Shake Shack - is it disgusting to have it for breakfast...?

Want want want. A good burger is a thing of great beauty, and us Brits are well behind on the decent burger stakes.

oh my LORD look at the cheese on the Shake Shack burger! it looks crazydelicious. i totally agree with you that burgers in the states are still leagues ahead of UK (and Oz) at the moment.. but with the likes of Byron, I think the UK is slowly catching up :) yay for us!

I've heard of Shake Shack and I've been very curious about it. I think the world of American burgers is very exciting as I've just discovered how seriously they take it after I began to research burgers in London. I must say, I think the Hawksmoor burger is the best, but then I am biased ;)

We queued for about 45mins in spitting rain for Shake Shack and it was totally worth it. Possibly the best burger I've ever had -and a fantastic milkshake as well. I really wish they'd open a UK branch and show everyone what burgers should be like!

Oh, my god, you just made me so hungry after eating a 'healthy' lunch at my desk. Longing for NY burgerdom.

OMG - I have to have one of those Salted Caramel Frozen Custard Milkshakes!!!

Great post :)

If you've not tried it yet, when you're back in London 'Townhouse' (a bar, not restaurant) on Beauchamp Place does a CRACKING burger for a tenner. Best one I've tracked down in Londontown so far.

It also does Porn Star Martinis, which are (almost) as naughty as they sound...
