Week Thirty Six
Well hello there again fans and thank you once again for tuning in. Just a quick cry out for help to any web designers, fellow bloggers or tech savy people, to please get in touch as I am thinking about changing web platforms and need some help/recommendations. I don't have a clue so do drop me a line if you can help. Is wordpress better?
Anyway back to the good stuff and this week only the one place was visited and the restaurant visited was the much talked about Honest Burger. They have just opened up a branch in Tooting and as it's a 2 minute walk from home, I felt I had to visit.
Special guest includes: Chloe Bushill

Review
I have been keen to visit honest burger for quite some time, as it comes with a lot of hype and some pretty strong recommendations from trusted friends. I have tried to visit the one in Brixton village a couple of times, but the queue and wait, is always far too long. I'm not known for my patience. Anyway, the one in Tooting didn't have this problem.
Me and Chloe were actually trying to visit Meat and Shake, but they had a 40 minute wait and it was already 9.00pm so we opted for Honest Burger instead. To be fair it was actually my housemate Chloe, who said we should come here as she proudly stated, 'it's the best burger you will have in London.' Chloe had successfully grabbed my attention and we set off to Honest Burger.
Due to it being a Wednesday night, the restaurant wasn't very busy and we were quickly escorted to a table for two. A very energetic and enthusiastic waitress presented us both with menus and took our order for drinks. We were not in the mood for messing about so we ordered our drinks at the same time (oh my god, you didn't did you?! crazy cats!).
The menu is nice and simple, which plays to my strengths, and the burger I decided to go for was the 'honest burger'. I always find that when you are unsure of what to order at a restaurant, always order the dish which has the name of the place you are at. Reason for this is because this will likely be their signature dish and unlikely to be poor as this it's the very name of the place you are at so if it is poor you will associate the place as poor. Probably complete balderdash but thats my theory anyway.
Now as you know, I like a burger, so I was expecting some big things and I'm afraid it didn't quite live up to the hype. Thats the problem when you go to a place with such a big tag, it never quite lives up to what you've built up to in your head. Don't get me wrong the burger was good and I couldn't fault the consistency of the bun at all. It kept it's shape throughout, which was pleasing, and my knife and fork remained untouched. The waitress was very efficient, quick and very friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good and the decor inside was tasteful. The problem for me was that it wasn't the best burger I've had in London. It was tasty but not the best and the burger itself was a little on the small side in my opinion.
Good place to go for a bite to eat, the service was efficient and quick, the burger was tasty and I thought it was all well priced. Honest burger is slightly overrated but I would happily come back here.
Chloe and I...We did opposite each other I hasten to add. This was for photo purposes.

The nice and simple menu. My kind of menu.
