De två vännerna Laurence och Frank inledde sin kulinariska resa med att salta kött i en släktings skjul under universitetstiden. Idag, sex år senare, driver de en av enheterna i den trendiga foodcourten Boxpark i London och har nyligen öppnat en helt egen restaurang i Brighton. När vi besökte dem hade fyra burgare på menyn och vi valde deras Bacon Cheeseburger med hängmörat kött, ost, rökt pancettabacon, pickles, lök och talgmajonnäs för 9,5 GBP (125 kronor).

Burgaren serverades hårt invirad i papper, men trots detta så var den imponerande välbyggd och snyggt bevarad. Det sesamtäckta brödet var härligt mjukt och hade fått en rejäl rostning på insidan, precis som vi gillar det. Den första vi reagerade på när vi väl började äta var det otroligt goda pancettabaconet, som tillförde ett helt perfekt krisp och riktig dominant sälta till smakbilden. Det hängmörade köttet var saftigt och hade en trevlig textur, men smaken lyckades aldrig riktigt överglänsa baconet och kom inte till sin fulla rätt under måltiden. Deras pickles lämnade tyvärr också en del att önska, och syrligheten som hade behövts för att skapa en balans i smakerna uteblev tyvärr. Löken gav visserligen burgaren ännu mer krisp, men eftersmaken var något för skarp i och störde en del. Talgmajonnäsen däremot var väldigt god med sin mjuka och djupa smak som faktiskt avrundade måltiden riktigt fint.

Salt Sheds burgare lovade mycket, men var i slutändan lite för enkel och försiktig för sitt eget bästa. De har däremot en otrolig potential att göra något riktigt bra med sina burgare, och övriga köttmenyn såg verkligen lovande ut. Nu hoppas vi bara att de lyckas kombinera sina grymma ingredienser och finslipa detaljerna så att resultatet blir vassare.

In English

The two friends Laurence and Frank started their culinary journey by salting meat in a relative’s shed during their university days. Six years later, they run one of the units in the trendy Boxpark food court in London and have recently opened their very own restaurant in Brighton. When we visited them, they had four burgers on the menu and we chose their Bacon Cheeseburger with dry-aged beef, cheese, smoked pancetta bacon, pickles, onions and beef dripping mayo for 9.5 GBP (12 USD).

The burger arrived tightly wrapped in paper, but still held together well and was impressively constructed. The sesame-covered bun was wonderfully soft and was nicely toasted on the inside, just the way we like it. The first thing we noticed when we started eating was how amazing the pancetta bacon tasted. It added a perfect crunch and really dominant saltiness to the burger. The dry-aged beef patty was juicy and had a nice texture, but the flavours didn’t rise to the occasion and was eclipsed by the bacon. Their pickles unfortunately also left something to be desired, as we would have needed some acidity to balance the flavours. The onion did give the burger some nice textures but the aftertaste was a bit too sharp and got in the way a bit. The beef dripping mayo, on the other hand, was very good with its soft and deep flavours that rounded off the meal really nicely.

Salt Shed’s burger promised a lot, but was ultimately a little too simple and cautious for its own good. However, they have an incredible potential to do something amazing with their burgers, and the rest of their meat menu looks really promising. Fingers crossed that they manage to combine their awesome ingredients and work on the details for a sharper result.

🇸🇪 Mother of Wagon ★★★★☆

Mother of Wagon opened by Arboga’s train station in the summer of 2026, and is actually run by the mother of the owner of The Wagon Burgers & Brews in Stockholm. Besides the clever name, they also offered four burgers, all of which could be made vegetarian. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 100-gram mustard-smashed beef patties, cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and dressing in a brioche bun. It cost 130 SEK (14 USD), and we also added fries for 30 SEK (3 USD).

The burger looked really good when it arrived, even if it had been assembled somewhat hastily with a lot of sauce. The flavours worked well, but all that sauce made it a little difficult to eat as the patties kept sliding around. The beef from a local farm in Örebro was generously seasoned and had plenty of flavour. However, it had been slightly overworked and was a bit too compact, and we would’ve preferred a more airy texture. The cheese had melted nicely over the patties, and we also appreciated that the fluffy bun had been nicely toasted on the inside, helping it hold together throughout the meal. We liked the finely chopped onions, while the pickles were crunchy, if slightly sweet. Although the mustard smash added plenty of flavour to the beef, we would’ve appreciated the acidity of American yellow mustard instead of the fairly sweet burger sauce. The fries came in a very generous portion and were thick and well-cooked, but slightly too heavily salted.

Mother of Wagon has managed to build a really solid foundation in just a few months, and the friendly staff also contributed to the experience. We’re really happy that it’s now possible to get a good burger in central Arboga.
