Hella Good är en nystartad foodtruck i Dubai som själva beskriver sig som den vilda lillasystern till brasseriet Rare i samma stad. Deras start kunde knappast ha börjat bättre, då de tog hem priset för årets lokala burgare på burgarfestivalen Dubai Burger Championship 2026. Burgaren som hjälpte dem att ta hem vinsten var deras Jalapeño Cheese Smashburger som bestod av två smashade wagyuköttpuckar, cheddar, philadelphiaost, jalapeños, sauterad lök, pickles och Hella-sås, till priset av 60 AED (150 kronor).

Burgaren var prydligt komponerad med en utmärkt bröd-till-kött-ratio som satt bra i handen. Brödet var väldigt följsamt med en schysst rostning på insidan. Det var dessutom supermjukt på utsidan, vilket gjorde burgaren nästintill formbar. Den rejäla stekytan på de dubbla wagyu-köttpuckarna hade en djup stekyta med en tillfredsställande kryddning som verkligen växlade upp köttsmaken. Köttets textur var också väldigt luftig och trevlig, med en tilltagen saftighet som vi verkligen uppskattade. Vi blev glatt överraskade över de räfflade dillpicklesens rejäla syra och tydliga dillsmak, som gav hela burgaren en tydligt internationell smak. Tillsammans med den behagliga sötman från den stekta löken och den fräscha hettan från philadelphiaost och jalapeños blev hela smakbilden både intressant och balanserad. Vi hade dock gärna sett lite mer textur samt något mer stadighet i brödet för att verkligen ro allt i hamn, då såserna gjorde att burgaren hade lite svårt att hålla ihop framåt slutet av måltiden.

Hella Good har med sin debut visat att de verkligen förstår vad en bra burgare är, och vi är mycket imponerade av deras skapelse. De var helt klart en värdig lokal vinnare på årets Dubai Burger Championship.

Hella Good is a new food truck in Dubai that describes themselves as the wild little sister of the Rare brasserie in the same city. Their start could hardly have been better, as they took home the prize for the best local burger at the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger that helped them win was their Jalapeño Cheese Smashburger, which consisted of two smashed wagyu beef patties, cheddar, Philadelphia cheese, jalapeños, sautéed onions, pickles and Hella sauce, for the price of 60 AED (16.5 USD).

The burger was neatly composed with an excellent beef-to-bun ratio and felt great in our hands. The bun was very pliable and nicely toasted on the inside. It was also super soft on the outside, which made the burger easy to handle. The generous crust of the double wagyu beef patties was satisfyingly seasoned, which really brought out the flavour of the meat. The texture of the meat was also very light and airy, with a generous juiciness that worked great. We were pleasantly surprised by the tangy pickles with their pronounced dill flavour, which gave the entire burger a distinctly international flavour. Together with the pleasant sweetness of the sautéed onions and the fresh heat of the Philadelphia cheese and jalapeños, the flavour profile was both interesting and balanced. However, we would have liked a bit more overall texture and a bit more firmness in the bun to really bring everything together, as the sauces made it a bit difficult for the burger to hold together towards the end of the meal.

Hella Good have shown with their debut that they really understand what a good burger is, and we are very impressed with their creation. They were definitely a worthy local winner at the Dubai Burger Championship 2026.

🍔 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.
