A very interesting review Nick. My first read on this site. I hope they all match up to the same quality, depth and insight. I was prompted to post a comment because I really like Cheeky Pete's and I thought some of your comments were a bit harsh. You make it sound like to be a real burger you need to stick to soft bun, a thick pattie, and a few obvious toppings.
What I love about Cheeky Pete's is the innovation. I love food to push the boundaries and who says a burger cannot evolve? I like to be able to pick up my burger and stuff it into my face. So many 'gourmet' burgers collapse into a heap when you remove the stick holding it all together and you have to eat it with a knife and fork. I go to Cheeky's quite regularly and I love to try something different and I have never been disappointed with my choices. Anchovies, satay sauce, seaweed - you name it I've tried it and I have shocked myself with some of the combinations I have eaten. But the bedrock to all of them has been the quality (yes it is big!) of the bun and the flavour of the meat, which is fantastic.
I have eaten burgers in many countries, including the US, and I have never eaten a better one than at Cheeky Pete's. I have had some amazing ones in NY and Vegas, but in their own unique way, if you are after something a bit different Cheeky Pete's hits the spot for me.
Keep up the good work Nick - I'm off to read some more reviews and find out if I can find some more favourite haunts in and around London to keep the burger meister happy!
