Dear AHT: Good Burgers in London
I'm visiting London next weekend (from north west England) and after much research, I think a visit to http://www.thehawksmoor.co.uk/ is called for. I went to the Byron on my last visit to the capital and can recommend it there also. I know we don't have the same cultural references to burgers here in the UK but I still find it a shame to be disappointed nearly every time after falling for claims of "amazing gourmet burgers" which cannot even compare to the stuff you can buy in the average US "mom & pop" store.
Top 5 Food Places to Take a Tourist in Manhattan
Well my last visit to NY in September 2006 (from Manchester, UK) included visits to Sullivan Street Bakery, Shake Shack, Totonnos, the Parker Meridien/Burger Joint, Economy Candy and loads more which I can't remember now. I read this site religiously and the next visit will be even more fattening.
Dear AHT: Sick of Undercooked Burgers
Rare for me but unfortunately it's absolutely impossible to get anything other than overdone anywhere in the UK. DIY is the key!

When I realised I wasn't even bothered at being forced to pay the import duty (£!) on the Hamburger America DVD after being forced to import it privately to the UK (when it was only available in the US) - a fact I've already mentioned on this site back in 2007. And yeah, I know this competition is only available to US residents but for a few weeks at the end of June, I'll have an apartment in Chicago (with the whole trip being planned around you-know-what!).
