The Joint missar the point

The Joint Genuine Street Food öppnade sina dörrar hösten 2016 i Göteborg. Deras fokus ligger på burgare, men de har även en del mexikansk mat på menyn. Vi beställde in en The Classic med pickles, tomater, röd lök, sallad och deras egna burgardressing för 99 kronor, samt en The Joint med cheddarost, chipotle-majonnäs, baconsylt, jalapeños och stekt lök för 109 kronor. Vi testade även deras Mixed Fries för 39 kronor.

Burgarna såg ganska klassiska ut, med en lite tjockare köttpuck och rikligt med toppings. Brödet var mjukt och följsamt, och höll ihop bra. Men köttet var tyvärr lite stumt och tuggigt, och hade mått bra av mer salt. The Classic-burgaren varit godare med lite ost, för nu var det bara deras egen dressing som gav någon egentlig smak – och den var rejält söt. The Joint-burgaren var även den betydligt sötare än vi hade önskat, främst från baconsylten som mest såg ut som en lökmarmelad. Utöver att den var söt så var den oväntat anonym, precis som chipotle-majonnäsen. Jalapeñosarna bjöd åtminstone på en generös hetta som vi gillade, och grönsakerna på båda våra burgare var ganska tunt skurna och kändes fräscha. Deras Mixed Fries bestod av tunna sötpotatispommes och lite rejälare vanliga pommes frites. Tyvärr så var båda varianterna underfriterade och saknade den där tillfredställande krispiga ytan som vi gillar.

Framför allt kändes smakerna obalanserade, och vi lämnade The Joint lite besvikna, och med en oönskad söt eftersmak i munnen.

In English

The Joint Genuine Street Food opened back in 2016 in Gothenburg, and their menu includes both burgers and mexican food. We ordered two hamburgers; a The Classic with pickles, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce and their burger sauce for 99 SEK (11.5 USD) plus a The Joint with cheddar, chipotle mayo, bacon jam, jalapeños and fried onions for 109 SEK (12.5 USD). We also ordered some Mixed Fries for 39 SEK (4.5 USD).

Our burgers had a classic look to them, with a quite thick patty and plenty of toppings. The bun was soft and a bit squishy, and held together well. But the patties were quite chewy and could also have done with a bit more salt. Our The Classic burger would have benefited from having cheese, seeing as most of the flavour came from the burger sauce which was unnecessarily sweet. The Joint burger was also sweeter than we’d hoped for, mainly due to the bacon jam resembling an overly sweet onion marmalade. And apart from its sweetness it was pretty anonymous and didn’t taste of much else, just like the chipotle mayo. Thankfully the jalapeños added some much-needed heat, and the vegetables on both of our burgers were thinly sliced and felt fresh and crisp. Their Mixed Fries consisted of both thin sweet potato fries and a bit thicker regular fries, but both varieties were undercooked and lacked that crispiness that we were after.

Overall, the flavours felt unbalanced, and we left The Joint a bit disappointed and with an unwanted sweet aftertaste.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
