Food Style? Meat

Eating at GMB always puts a smile on my face. They’re my go to for most things meat - for everything else meat, there’s El Matador just down the road. I actually wanted to try Lucky Burger tonight, I had heard so many good things from several different people, but unfortunately they were closed due to a power outage. No problem, I jumped at the chance to try a little bit of Burger Wellington, which I have missed dearly, by getting GMB’s finalist entry, the Piggy McPigface.

Burger


Piggy McPigface: Beef, candied bacon, bacon marmalade, bacon aioli, pork crackling, feta whip and rocket
Wow. Just wow. Full of flavour, juicy, smokey, salty, creamy, balanced with that little bit of rocket and radish. The pork crackling makes me grin with delight, and I express my heartfelt appreciation of this masterpiece to the waitress. The yogurt is a smart addition, helping to bind all the strong bacon and pork flavours. It’s messy to eat but I do not care how uncouth I look because this is simply delicious.
