Hot Smash Burger har stängt sin verksamhet.

Hot Smash Burger är en liten men charmig matvagn som står i ett shoppingområde i Upplands Väsby utanför Stockholm. De öppnade under hösten 2023, och vi har fått in flera tips om stället sedan dess. Burgarmenyn innehöll fem hamburgare med kött plus en med halloumi, och vi beställde dels en Amsterdam med burgarost, rödlök, tomat, sallad och burgardressing och en New York med burgarost, stekt lök, tomat, sallad, bbq-sås och chilimajonnäs. Burgarna kostade 129 kronor med dubbla 80-gramsköttpuckar, och under lunchen ingick både pommes frites och läsk, vilket annars kostar 25 kronor extra.

Våra burgare såg oväntat maffiga ut när de serverades, med sina stora glansiga bröd och de dubbla lagren med osttäckt kött. New York-burgaren hade ett härligt krispigt första bett som avslöjade att brödet var rejält stekt i smör. Den stekta löken, bbq-såsen och chilimajonnäsen gjorde sig väldigt bra ihop med all ost, vilket gjorde den till vår favorit av de två. Vår Amsterdam var lite tråkigare smakmässigt, då både rödlöken och dressingen höll sig i bakgrunden. Vi noterade att köttet på vår Amsterdam hade mycket sämre stekyta än vår New York, som var märkbart saftigare med luftigare textur. Vi förmodar att detta beror på att stekbordet i vagnen var så litet, men det kändes som en trist omständighet att stekytan skilde sig så pass mycket mellan burgarna. Pommes fritesen var av ganska typisk gatukökskvalitet, men var ändå godkända med vettig sälta och krispighet.

Hot Smash Burger serverar goda burgare som främst hålls tillbaka av deras stekbord, så vi hoppas på lite jämnare kvalitet i framtiden då detta definitivt skulle lyfta upplevelsen ett snäpp.

In English

Hot Smash Burger is a small but charming food stand in a shopping centre in Upplands Väsby outside Stockholm. They opened in the autumn of 2023, and we’ve received several tips about the place since then. The burger menu included five beef burgers and one with halloumi, and we ordered an Amsterdam with burger cheese, red onion, tomato, lettuce and burger sauce, and a New York with burger cheese, fried onion, tomato, lettuce, BBQ sauce and chilli mayo. Our burgers cost 129 SEK (12 USD) with double 80 gram patties, and during lunch both fries and a soft drink were included (instead of costing 25 SEK (2 USD) extra).

Our burgers looked surprisingly big when they arrived, with large, shiny buns and double stacks of cheese-covered meat. The New York burger had a nice crunchy first bite, revealing that the bun had been heavily fried in butter. The fried onions, barbecue sauce and chilli mayonnaise worked really well with all the cheese, making it our favourite of the two. Our Amsterdam was a little more bland, with both the red onion and the sauce taking a back seat. We noticed that the meat on our Amsterdam had a much weaker crust than our New York, which was noticeably juicier and had a fluffier texture. We suspect this is due to the small size of their griddle, but it was unfortunate that the crust varied so much between the burgers. The fries were of fairly typical grill kiosk quality, but were still decent with reasonable saltiness and crispness.

Hot Smash Burger serves good burgers that are mainly held back by their griddle, and we’re hoping for a more consistent level of quality in the future as this would definitely take the experience up a notch.

🍔 Review № 1381

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.
