George’s Bar & Grill

George’s Bar & Grill är ett enkelt hamburgerhak mitt ute i öknen i Kaliforniens Cathedral City, som ligger i Coachella Valley. Det är nog mest känt bland burgarälskare på för att George Motz – burgargurun och författaren av boken Hamburger America – har utnämnt burgarna som bland de bästa i hela USA.

Vi slog oss ner i de slitna röda vinylbänkarna och beställde en cheeseburgare med dubbelt kött gjort på 100 procent lokal högrev, american cheese, majonnäs, isbergssallad och en rejäl hög med stekt gul lök i ett sesambröd. Medan vi väntade på burgarna lyssnade vi roat på när ägaren Ed stod vid stekbordet och slängde käft med stammisarna.

Efter att beundrat burgarna när de anlände så var det dags att hugga in. Vi förstår snabbt att den här burgaren verkligen inte behöver ketchup för att smaka bra, vilket är tur då det är lite av ställets gimmick att håna kunder som vill ha det. Köttet var stekt underbart medium-rare och smakade helt otroligt gott. Det hade en kraftig köttsmak och var dessutom väldigt saftigt. Salladen var krispig och osten bidrog med en fin konsistens och smak och skapade en utmärkt helhet. Vi uppskattade även den frikostiga högen med hårdstekt lök som gav burgaren en lite annorlunda karaktär. Vi som normalt sett föredrar en smörig brioche fick vika oss för att även det utmärkt stekta sesambrödet höll högsta klass och hanterade köttsafterna föredömligt.

Om du befinner dig i närheten av Palm Springs så är ett besök på George’s Bar & Grill väl värd omvägen, för här serveras verkligen en förstklassig burgare.

George’s Bar & Grill in California’s Cathedral City is perhaps most known for being named one of the best burger joints in the U.S. by George Motz – burger guru and author of the book Hamburger America. We ordered a double cheeseburger made from local chuck, with american cheese, mayo, iceberg lettuce and a hefty amount of fried onions in a sesame bun. It tasted amazing (no need for ketchup here – the condiment is banned) and was a perfect medium rare with a distinctly meaty flavour. The cheese was creamy and the salad perfectly crispy; and we especially liked the almost charred onions. And even though we usually prefer a brioche bun we were floored by the toasted sesame bun that did everything we’d hoped it would. If you’re near Palm Springs and want an amazing burger, don’t miss out!

🍔 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.
