The Burger Guru har stängt sin verksamhet.

I den hippa och numera väldigt burgartäta Brooklyn-stadsdelen Williamsburg vi The Burger Guru. Från ett anspråkslöst hörn leds vi in via en smal gång till den stora ljusa och inbyggda bakgården. Väl på plats beställer vi varsin öl och en av deras klassiska hamburgare gjord på ekologiskt kött.

Det är en rejäl pjäs med mycket grönsaker, och den serveras fint på en rostfri bricka med en omgång lite pommes frites, som dessvärre är något för mjuka. Hamburgerbrödet är fint rostat, är något torrt och tråkigt, och sesamfröna på brödets ovansida spär på detta intryck med sin nötiga eftersmaken.

Köttet är lite för välstekt men på något sätt ändå saftigt, och väl pepprat. Mycket av smaken göms dock i det berg av pepperjack-ost som hopar sig högst upp. Det var dock en trevlig överraskning att få en riktigt god saltgurka bland de fräscha grönsakerna, något som annars brukar utelämnas.

The Burger Guru levererar i det stora hela en god burgare. De står sig rätt bra mot den tuffa konkurrensen i området (även om de inte kan mäta sig med Blue Collar) men med ett ganska högt pris och lite lathet i detaljerna så får de se sig slagna och i stället ladda för rond två.

In English

The Burger Guru are located in New York’s Williamsburg district, and do their best to take on all the other Brooklyn based burger joints. The patty may be slightly overcooked, but its still juicy and well-seasoned. We were a bit disappointed by the somewhat stale bread and soggy fries, but the heaps of pepperjack cheese and the crisp gherkin were a treat. However, the price is a bit steep, and the vastly superior Blue Collar is less than 10 blocks away …

🍔 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.
