Burger Wars Episode XC: Smokehouse in Chiswick [BurgeReview]

You know, just because a person's a smoker, that doesn't mean he's not a human being
Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld episode “The Abstinence”)

I have said before that it is a bit of a challenge to find a decent bbq place in London. There are several but none hit all the marks. That was until I visited Smokehouse in Chiswick, a sister place of the original in Islington.

Just in case
I have been in two occasions already, and one of them was a feast, where they smoked, and slow cooked three types of meat, short rib, ox cheek, and Korean pulled pork. The feast was amazing, everything spot on, one of the best meals I have had.

Feast time
But now on to the burgers, they also have burgers a la carte, especially for lunch time. I went for the fried chicken burger with guacamole, chipotle, and fried egg, and my wife got the Cheese Hereford burger with a lovely melted comte.

Say cheese!
The verdict, both burgers were fantastic but if you’re a cheese aficionado you have to go with the cheesy one

The damage,  £15 for the burger with fries


The conclusion, amazing place, nice burgers, and great smoked meats, can’t recommend highly enough, top marks

Arrivederci Zucca [Closed]

Yeah! Like Bizarro Superman. Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is down, down is up, he says hello when he leaves, goodbye when he arrives
Jerry Seinfeld (Seinfeld episode “The Bizarro Jerry”)

Recently it was announced that Zucca will be closing down for good on 23 December. So immediately I made a booking to try once more chef Sam Harris cuisine.

Truffle Time
Food was nice and well execute it. The pork belly with anchovies and puntarelle was amazing, same as the classic vitello tonnato, follow it by the special white truffle pasta and an outstanding slow braised ox cheek with yellow polenta and borettane to close the evening.

Ox Cheek
Food was great and service good, hurry up and book your table before they close in December
