Thank you for following along! I have loved receiving your comments, snapchats, texts, tweets and emails about burgers.

Final burger


My final burger was at the Bresolin. It was a very good cheeseburger called 'The Game Changer': Double beef patties with cheese, streaky bacon and The Bresolin BBQ sauce in a wagyu fat brioche bun, with fries. The burger was not huge, but felt right in terms of size given the two patties of meat. In the words of my dining companion (fresh from a cross-fit competition): BBQ sauce just makes everything better. The BBQ sauce was delicious. Overall a solid effort, but probably not an absolute 'must-do' on the burger list. I award The Game Changer 8/10.

What is an absolute must-do however, is the peanut butter chocolate fondant pudding you can also get at the Bresolin. The perfect way to finish 17 days of 20 burgers...
