We're pretty spoilt, you know, in London, with all our great burgers. (Hi again, by the way, I haven't posted for a while as I've had a busy couple of months but hopefully a few more posts coming down the pipe shortly).
I would say we've got a pretty established set of great burger slingers, and so it would seem that now is the time to institutionalise them into something beautiful. This is what I'm talking about:
A couple of weeks ago a fellow burger enthusiast (let's call him a bit of a foodie), had a chat with me about a food map he was creating - codenamed "
Food Hoods". The intention is that the map will be hand-illustrated and cover the crème de la crème of the city's best food and drink neighbourhoods. This obviously appeals to me because it means that as well as being able to plan to get my burger fix around the capital, I can explore other foods in the area - recommended by peers.
Hoods that have been confirmed already are:
- Soho
- Covent Garden
- Fitzrovia
- Marylebone
- Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Hoxton
- Hackney (London Fields, Dalston mainly)
- Whitechapel & Spitalfields
- Brixton
- Clerkenwell
- Bermondsey
Food Hoods is the creation of
Will Moody and he wants to make sure your favourite burger joints are included on the map, which is where you lovely lot come in.
All you have to do is plug your favourite burger into the comments section below, or tweet me and Will (
@HamburgerMe @FoodHoods) with your top burger restaurant in London.
Now, and this is important, you need to make sure you share your
absolute number one. The place you'd go if it was your last burger in London. And Will will make sure the best ten make it onto his new illustrated map.
If you want to get your hands on a copy of Food Hoods you can
pre-order your copy here - it comes as a fold-out map for sticking up on your wall or a small booklet (better for burger fans on the go). As great maps take time to produce, the first copies will be ready in early 2016.
