In London 2012 July 4th Falls on July 2nd (& 3rd)

[slider_pro id="21"]  Why celebrate Independence from London, in London, on July 2nd and not the 4th? No one wants to wait 48 hours more than necessary for the unlisted – and understated – Joe Allen bacon cheeseburger. July 2nd is a Monday. With both sessions of...

Seven Degrees of Separation

It is perhaps unfair of me to fault Mother Flipper for slightly overcooking their burgers, missing by less than a minute the liftoff from the flat-top griddle to juicy medium rare. This has happened twice, first in February at its original home ground at Brockley...

Holy Mother Flipper: Look at That Burger!
