"We got very dramatic after eating at this Acton diner. Because these burgers are excellent. The vibe is laid-back (your t-shirt will be stained by the end of the meal and no one will care), and the setup is simple: a wooden counter with stools, and a couple of tables, each likely to have red baskets of perfect chips on them. The patties are thicker than most classic smashburgers—thick enough that you can see pink, perfectly cooked meat after a bite, and a single patty is more than enough. But they still have crunchy, scalloped edges, and excellent toppings like spicy burger sauce and crispy shallots. It’s got all the comfort of a Big Mac, but, unlike us eating these in five greedy minutes, No Drama has finesse too. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Food Rundown photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Cheeseburger It’s a big, messy mouthful, thicker than your average smashpatty, and beef juices will end up pooling on your plate and down pinkies. Which is why their toppings are so genius. The burger sauce is spicy and the crispy shallots add some welcome crunch to counter all that fat. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Fries These fries are what Maccas fries should be like. They're light, incredibly crispy, and not even a touch greasy. You could eat the lot without needing a napkin." - Sinéad Cranna
