Original Burgers – eller OB’s som de kallas i folkmun – är en liten matvagn som ligger bredvid en bensinstation i Saltskog i utkanten av Södertälje. De öppnade under sommaren 2023 och har snabbt blivit en snackis bland Södertäljeborna. När vi besökte dem hade de en sparsmakad meny med enbart två burgare, och vi beställde en av varje. Det blev en OB Cheese med cheddar, silverlök, pickles, senap, ketchup och OB-dressing samt en Spicy OB med cheddar, rödlök, jalapeños, jalapeñodressing och chilisås för 89 kronor styck. Vi dubblade köttet för 30 kronor extra per burgare, och lade till pommes frites för 10 kronor under lunchen (jämfört med 29 kronor övrig tid).

Burgarna såg riktigt snygga ut, med en grymt fin stekyta på köttpuckarna och rejält med kryddning och ingredienser. Briochebrödet glänste fint, och redan vid första tuggan kunde vi känna att de verkligen tagit i med smakerna. De dubbla köttpuckarna på 120 gram var krispiga på utsidan och saftiga på insidan, och fulla med smak. Vår Spicy OB hade rejält med hetta från chilisåsen, och vi gillade att de inte blandat ut den med majonnäs så att den verkligen fick skina. Det var gott med lite syra från rödlöken, men den var lite för tunt skuren vilket gjorde att det var svårt att bita igenom den. OB Cheese hade också för tunt skivad silverlök, och var dessutom lite översaltad. Men övriga ingredienser var välbalanserade, och vi tyckte att originaldressingen spelade riktigt snyggt med både senapen och ketchupen. Pommes fritesen var svåra att sluta äta, och försvann i ett nafs tillsammans med den supergoda vitlöksdippen för 15 kronor.

Vi blev riktigt imponerade av vad Original Burgers levererade, med rejäla smaker och en utmärkt prisbild. Och trots att de ligger en bit utanför centrala Södertälje så tar vi gärna en avstickare hit nästa gång vi är i Kringelstan.

In English

Original Burgers – also known as OB’s – is a small food trailer located next to a gas station in Saltskog on the outskirts of Södertälje. They opened in the summer of 2023 and have quickly become a favourite among the locals. When we visited, they had a modest menu with only two burgers, and we ordered one of each; a OB Cheese with cheddar, white onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard and OB sauce, and a Spicy OB with cheddar, red onions, jalapeños, jalapeño sauce and chilli sauce for 89 SEK (8.5 USD) each. We doubled the meat for an extra 30 SEK (3 USD), and added fries for 10 SEK (1 USD) during lunch (compared to 29 SEK (3 USD) at other times).

The burgers looked great, with a really nice crust on the patties and plenty of seasoning and ingredients. The brioche bun was shiny, and we could tell from the first bite that the flavours were on point. The double 120 gram beef patties were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and full of flavour. Our Spicy OB had plenty of heat from the chilli sauce, and we liked the fact that they didn’t mix it with mayonnaise so that it really got to shine. The acidity from the red onions was nice, but they were cut a little too thin, making it difficult to bite through them. OB Cheese also had too thinly sliced white onions, and it was also a little too salty, but the other ingredients were well balanced, and we thought the burger sauce worked well with both the ketchup and the mustard. As for the fries, they were hard to stop eating, and disappeared in a flash along with the super tasty garlic dip for 15 SEK (1.5 USD).

We were really impressed with Original Burgers great flavours and excellent value for money. And even though they are located a bit outside the centre of Södertälje, we will gladly take a detour here the next time we are nearby.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @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.
