"Burnt has a halal menu and hefty BBQ platters. But the burger is our favourite thing to get. It’s so juicy and buttery that by the final bite, the bottom bun will have all but disintegrated. Hunker down in the archway near Leytonstone station, elbow-to-elbow on a shared table with strangers, and try not to make eye contact as you stretch your jaw biting into your double patty smashburger. The beef is incredibly tender, the onions are well caramelised, and the homemade dill cucumber pickles bring some much-needed tang." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
