Burger Bear har stängt sin verksamhet.

Burger Bear ligger i en av Londons absolut coolaste streetfoodställen, nämligen Magic Roundabout precis ovanför tunnelbanestationen Old Road i hipstertäta Shoreditch. Pionjären Tom Reaney (även känd som Burger Bear Tom) har finansierat bygget via en Kickstarter-kampanj, och nu står det en massa containrar mitt i rondellen. Där spelas discomusik från öppning till stängning, samtidigt som de serverar mat och dryck från några av de hetaste ställena.

Här finns såklart även en Burger Bear (som även har restauranger i Peckham och Stoke Newington), och valet föll på en Grizzly Bear – en cheeseburgare med rökt bacon och deras egentillverkade baconsylt. De överdimensionerade baconskivorna var härligt möra och ljuvligt salta, och baconsylten var nog den godaste jag har testat på, med en kraftig sötma, sälta och kaffesmak. Den saftiga köttpucken bjöd på goda smaker, men var aningen för välstekt. Samtidigt var brödet färskt och höll sig bra, trots att undersidan inte var rostad.

Det känns främst som att det är småmissar som gör att Burger Bear inte blir en fullpottare, men i och med att London förmodligen är Europas främsta burgarstad finns det inget utrymme för misstag. Oavsett detta ligger de ändå i toppskiktet, och discomusiken som ständigt spelas är bara det skäl nog för ett återbesök.

In English

Located in the fantastical Magic Roundabout – a street food venue on top of the Old Road underground station in Shoreditch – the pioneering Burger Bear stands out from the London crowd. The Grizzly Bear burger stunned us with its excellently cooked bacon and delectable bacon jam. The patty tasted great but was somewhat overcooked, and the bottom bun should have been heated. But despite this we were extremely impressed, and we’ll definitely be coming back – not only for the burgers and the incredibly cool location but also for the disco music that’s constantly playing.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
