Hail to the beef: Americana on the rise in London A few years ago, an American visiting London would have been hard-pressed to find a quality hamburger with a decent U.S. craft beer to accompany it. Mrs Petticoat I’ve never turned down a burger. Even when I’ve just consumed one I’m daydreaming about what toppings to have on the next patty. So even though the hubby and I were swearily stomping around Convent Garden in a strop because of the sub-standard meal we’d just had a Shake Shack when we stumbled upon Five Guys I was already up for another. We’d read bad things about ridiculous queues and crap burgers in the opening week and so had almost written them off, but there was however, a strangely warm and inviting air around London’s almost newest burger bar that has nothing to do with its location near Stringfellows. Not Just “Another” Burger Bar “Another burger bar?!” I hear you exclaim. Two as a matter of fact. “Does London need another one, let alone two purveyors of meat sandwiches and other all-American foods?” I must admit that even I, a self-confessed burger addict who gets more excited on holiday when I see a fast food chain we don’t have in Blighty than I do some ancient artefact or piece of celebrated architecture, had immediate reservations when I discovered that two successful American burger chains were moving into the capital’s already saturated burger business.

No. With this in mind ES Magazine dispatched me to Covent Garden to try the new hype-laden US import burger joints Five Guys and Shake Shack, currently being discussed fervently by a lot of people who should perhaps take up a nourishing pastime such as macramé. Five Guys bring their burgers to Covent Garden Forget all those Lower East Side-referencing London burger shacks run by heavily tattooed ex-public school boys – Five Guys is the genuine US mom ’n’ pop article. It was started in 1986 by a Virginia couple and their four sons. Twenty-five years (and another son) later, they have more than 1,100 branches across America and Canada – and the five sons are still in charge. They’re a bit like the Waltons. The meaty Waltons. SHORTLIST'S SEARCH FOR THE UK'S BEST BURGER Five Guys boasts 1200 restaurants in the States and is named after the owner and his four sons (which became 5 sons after they'd named it). The queue spiralled out of the doorway and into the baking London heat. People willing to wait in 30C temperatures was a good sign. So how was it? Well, good. Very good, in fact. The American Burger Invasion The endorsement: Regulars of the American mega-chain include the founders of Meatliquor, but without doubt the most high-profile fan is President Obama himself (he favours a cheeseburger with jalapeno peppers to go). What to order: More fast-food based than some of London's high-end burger joints, the Five Guys selling point is based around customisation: order your basic patty, and then whatever toppings you choose (included in the price) and then rolled up in its signature foil wrappers. Go an "All The Way" with skin-on Cajun fries for the full all-American experience. The best non-meat item on the menu: The astonishing touch-screen soda machine, which includes every variety of carbonated refreshment you could imagine - over 100 flavours.
