Well think again.
The Yeah! Burger pop-up at The Star by Hackney Downs, Queensdown Road, offers a different mind-boggling burger-creations every week. Once you try its unusual offerings, you'll never eat a plain old McDonald's again.
The Yeah! Burger pop-up at The Star by Hackney Downs, Queensdown Road, offers a different mind-boggling burger-creations every week. Once you try its unusual offerings, you'll never eat a plain old McDonald's again.
The food...
Tobias Lawrence, The Star’s supervisor, told us about this week’s crazy creation: the ‘Frankie Boyle’.
Named after the infamously acerbic Scottish comic, this burger really is one hell of a mouthful. Lawrence said: “They’ve made their own scotch eggs, which they cut in half and use as buns, then stack more meat in the middle.
“It really fills your protein quota for the week”.
Our taste-tester struggled to pick up the “over the top and messy” burger, let alone finish it.
Yeah! Burger’s past offerings include the Ramen Burger - which substitutes a burger bun for ramen noodles - and an Asian-inspired burger packed with deep-fried oysters.
More conservative burgers, such as your standard American cheese burger, can be found on the regular menu, but with so much choice on offer it’d almost be a sin to stick to your old faithfuls.
The Star...
If the food is surprising, the venue is extraordinary.
From the outside, The Star looks like a run-down, local dive. Inside, it’s a hipster’s haven - complete with candle-lit tables, up-cycled furniture and toilets with saloon doors.
The Star’s laid-back, anything-goes atmosphere will put diners at ease as they tuck into wacky culinary creations.
“It’s a very friendly, nice crowd’, Mr Lawrence said: “there’s always a good vibe”.
The future...
The burger bounty at The Star won’t be running dry anytime soon, as Mr Lawrence told us that Christmas-themed burgers could be on the horizon.
