Review of Pick More Daisies

Amazing burgers! 
I went here not only based on the great reviews, but because I love burgers. I'm a big burger fan, and when the restaurant has an accolade of Best Burger in London, I just had to try it.
Usually I wouldn't go for the most expensive thing on the menu (mainly because I'm tight), but I thought I'd go crazy and try the 10oz Kobe Beef burger, and I'm so glad I did. It was indeed the best burger that I've had in London, and the best burger I've had anywhere else in fact. An absolutely amazing burger. Really juicy, succulent and the taste was delicious.
On the very slight down side, and these are just minor criticisms, I have had better chips before (even at Fine Burger Co) and tastier milkshakes. That's definitely not to say that the chips and milkshakes were bad, they were very good, but I've had better.
If you're looking for a good burger or just a great American restaurant, then it's definitely worth the trek out to Crouch End to have the best burger in London.

Review of Bodeans BBQ

Meaticious
Forget McDonalds, KFC and Burger King, this is the only place to go for proper hardcore fast food action. This is not a place to go if you're on a diet, feeling healthy or a vegetarian - this is meat central. Even their chips are made from meat... probably...
Seriously though, if you're after a bap with just a ton of meat in it, be it pork or chicken, topped with Bodean's own special sauce, with a side of chips (or fries as they call them) and a bit of coleslaw to make you not feel like you're not a complete pig, then this is the only place for you to go to.
Usually, I go for the chicken breast bun things which have the largest breasts I've seen this side of Jordan, but every so often I go for a pulled pork bun which is also really nice. To top it all off, you can't beat a nice ginger beer to wash it all down.
I wouldn't go to this place every week, otherwise I'd be so fat that I'd have my own gravity field. It's one of those places you go for a treat, when you're feeling manly and need to eat a large portion of dead animal, topped with lovely sauce.

Review of Hamburger Union

If you want a burger, go to Maccy D's 
You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd. Should be Hamburger Union's motto, really. That's not to say their hamburgers are like eating turds. They're actually quite nice. Only quite nice though. No, what I mean is that you can make a hamburger place look a million dollars, but it's still always going to be a hamburger place. That's not to say Hamburger Union looks a million dollars either. It's merely a more middle-class family's version of McDonalds. With it's free range ingredients, and posh wines, you wonder if you are in a burger bar at all. But then they bring you the burgers and reality strikes. If you really really want a burger, then I would advise a trip to McDonalds. Yes, Maccy D's (as it's known on da streetz) isn't the most eco-friendly, or most hygienic, but it does make better, tastier burgers for half the price of Hamburger Union. If you don't want a McDonalds, then at least go to a proper restaurants. It's not as if there aren't loads around Soho.
