Maxzi The Good Food är en populär restaurangkedja med fler än 10 restauranger, varav de flesta ligger i Dubai. Restaurangerna har flera olika maträtter, biffar och burgare, och när vi testade dem på Dubai Burger Championship fick vi prova på deras The Maxzi Smash & Sear, som innehöll dubbla köttpuckar gjorda på Mayura Wagyu, cheddar, kalvbacon, pickles, jalapeños, rökt guava- och löksylt samt Maxzi-signatursås i ett potato bun. Festivalpriset var 60 AED (145 kronor), vilket var ganska likt priset på deras restauranger.

De dubbla köttpuckarna hade båda en tydlig stekyta på utsidan, och var väldigt saftiga inuti. Köttet, som kom från Mayura Station i Australien, kom från kor som gått på en chokladdiet för att köttet skulle få extra mycket smak. Och även om det var svårt att säga om själva dieten var avgörande så kunde vi ändå konstatera att det var väldigt smakrikt. Osten låg välsmält över köttet och var dessutom väldigt krämigt. Burgarens potato bun var välrostat på insidan, smakade riktigt gott hade en trevlig spänst. Men med det sagt så hade det svårt att hålla ihop under hela måltiden, och hade nog behövt vara lite mer robust för att hantera det väldigt saftiga köttet. Vi uppskattade även kontrasten mellan deras ganska heta jalapeños och dillpicklesen som var riktigt friska. Detta gav burgaren en fräsch hetta, som skapade en fin balans tillsammans med den söta guava- och löksylten.

Maxzi The Good Food serverade helt klart en av våra favoritburgare på festivalen, och vi uppskattade verkligen att burgaren kändes väldigt komplett och bjöd på en komplex smakbild. Vi ser fram emot att besöka dem igen nästa gång vi är i Dubai för att testa fler burgare från menyn.

Maxzi The Good Food is a popular restaurant chain with more than 10 restaurants, most of which are located in Dubai. The restaurants offer a variety of dishes, including burgers and steaks, and when we tried them at the Dubai Burger Championship, we were served their The Maxzi Smash & Sear, which consisted of double beef patties made from Mayura Wagyu, cheddar, bacon, pickles, jalapeños, smoked guava and onion jam and Maxzi’s signature sauce, all served in a potato bun. The festival price was 60 AED (16 USD), which was similar to the price at their restaurants.

The double beef patties both had a decent crust on the outside, and were very juicy on the inside. The meat, which came from Mayura Station in Australia, was from cows that had been fed a chocolate diet to give the meat extra flavour. And even if it was hard to say if their diet was the main reason, we could agree that it was very flavourful. The cheese was nicely melted over the patties and was also very creamy. The potato bun was well-toasted on the inside, tasted really good and had a nice bite. However, it didn’t really manage to hold together throughout the meal, and it would have benefited from being a bit more robust to handle the very juicy meat. We also appreciated the contrast between the rather hot jalapeños and the fresh dill pickles, which were very refreshing. This gave the burger a fresh heat that created a nice balance with the sweet guava and onion jam.

Maxzi The Good Food definitely served one of our favourite burgers at the festival, and we really appreciated that the burger felt very complete and offered a complex taste profile. We look forward to visiting them again next time we are in Dubai to try more burgers from the menu.

Burger Devil is located in Bäckby on the outskirts of Västerås, and when we first visited them in 2023 after several recommendations, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality. During our return visit, we noticed that the restaurant had a thoughtfully designed interior, with almost every little detail featuring their branding. This time, we ordered a Cheese with two 120-gram beef patties, cheddar, red onions, pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup and mayo, as well as a Habanero Cheese with the same amount of beef, cheddar, habanero cheese, white onions, fresh chilli and béarnaise sauce. Both double burgers cost 189 SEK (19 USD) each as meals, including fries and a soft drink.

The burgers were nicely presented in paper sleeves and well assembled, with a good patty to bun ratio – even though our Habanero Cheese was a bit overloaded with toppings. The buns held everything together well, with a soft exterior and a nicely toasted interior. The beef was heavily smashed with a nice crust and generous seasoning that gave it a rich and robust flavour. However, we would have liked more heat from the Habanero Cheese, especially considering its name. And while we appreciated the idea of adding béarnaise sauce, the flavours became somewhat monotonous towards the end, and we would have liked something fresh to break things up. The fried habanero and cheese balls added a really nice contrast in texture, though, and overall it was a very enjoyable burger. The cheeseburger was also good at its core, but the flavours were slightly too sweet. We would have really appreciated some tangy dill pickles here to create a better balance. The fries were well-fried and nicely salted, but the dips we ordered could have had a bit more flavour.

Burger Devil has a well-developed concept, and they continue to serve filling and well-made burgers at very reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, that still goes a long way.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.
