Located in the back streets of Vauxhall housed in a shack made of corrugated metal I found the best burger these lips have ever touched. Thinking about it now I can still taste every mind blowing burger meated mouthful. Thank you Dirty Burger I feel that my life long search of finding the perfect burger are over, now you have come into my life.
Dirty Burger http://www.eatdirtyburger.com brought to the streets of London by those very clever boys at Soho House, is a fairly simple set up, but do not let that fool you. What is produced in these small shacks is literally food porn. Located in Kentish Town, Vauxhall and Whitechapel Dirty Burger has become my new go to when ever anyone asks the question, “know anywhere good to grab a burger?”
I have been wanting to go and sample their delights for a while, but have not had the excuse or the opportunity at present. My cousin who is a personal trainer has been on an extremely strict diet for the past two months in order to get himself lean enough for a photo shoot for his website. The deal was once he was done with the photo shoot we would meet up for a burger and a beer to make up for the weeks of behaving. Dirty Burger was the perfect place for the food binge!
There are three burgers to choose from on the menu cheese burger, dirty bacon and a cop out (vegetarian option) and they also had a special chilli burger on yesterday evening too. I went for the dirty bacon, one thing this place is good for is the quality of their ingredients. The bacon was not that crispy pretend bacon you normally get in a burger place, this was thick cut, proper bacon the type of bacon bacon addicts only dream of. The burger itself was succulent and cooked to perfection not too well done and not too rare. I wanted to eat this slowly make friends with this burger, eat it like I have never eaten a burger of this quality before. But like an excited teenage boy I ate too quickly and in a flash my love affair with the dirty bacon was over before I knew it. Thank goodness we ordered crinkle cut fries and onion fries. The crinkle cut fries are no McCains, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside the perfect fries to accompany the perfect burger. If you do go to Dirty Burger EAT THE ONION FRIES they are something else. Not your traditional onion ring, these are like onion battered fries which are then covered in salt and pepper, I will never touch a onion ring again I have been converted to the onion fry.
You can’t book a table at Dirty Burger you just rock up, and you can either take away or sit in. This is a great place for the day after the night before. I would totally recommend going here with friends and if you have a meat loving significant other than take them here and eat the onion fries!!! Now I need to try the Dirty Burger breakfast menu, but I think I need to wait for an encounter of the morning after the night before 😉
Happy dining xx
