The bacon cheeseburger at the Dalston Superstore in theultra- cool heart of East London sure is tall. Maybe the skyscraper burger is the bar’s idea of New York style.
Whatever.
I identified no fewer than eight serious problems with the one I ordered medium-rare.
From these photos can you tell what looks wrong with the Dalston Superstore Burger? Post your answers in the comments section below.

It’s not medium rare
1/ Not enough meat.
2/ Meat not cooked how requested.
3/ Bacon undercooked/not crisp enough for a burger.
4/ Rocket doesn’t belong on a burger.
5/ Pine nuts on bun? Whatever!
6/ Gherkin should be served on side.
7,8,9,10/ NOT ENOUGH MEAT!
Given the quality of the meat it was perhaps fortunately there was not much of it.
1 more thing I missed, any greens are traditionally served under the patty.
1. Seriously wrong stacking order (cheese/rocket)
2. OTT Height
3. Where’s the sauce?
4. Obviously cooked pattie
5. Thick undercooked bacon
6. Under-toasted stale bun
7. How did they cut that gherkin?!
8. rocket to bacon proportions
On the right track?
And the cheese isn’t melted properly. The ratios are all wrong – it looks truly awful.
error: Dalston Superstore in the new ultra-cool heart of East London
not for a few years. plus i only know it as a sweatbox full of predatory gay men…. not a place for burgering…..
Is the answer “its not a burger its a shish kebab”
1. Grey, over-cooked meat
2. Floppy, under-cooked bacon
3. Cold, congealed cheese
4. Weird seedy bun. Error
5. Rocket is just wrong
6. Wrong balance of extras -pickle and tomato look uneven
7. Apparent lack of any sauce? WTF!
8. Pretentious, impossible-to-eat tower

Tosh by predatory gay men do you mean gay men pulling and dancing in a gay bar?
Does that not sit well with you?
Diddums.
The cheese melting onto the underdone bacon is unappetising, as is the sheer quantity of bacon and cheese compared to the stingy burger. Personally I find the inclusion of what looks like a sundried tomato to be very, very offensive.
I’ve enjoyed the food at Superstore in the past but am tempted to put that down to hangover misjudgement now.
It looks like a slice of rather thick wobbly ham. Not even convinced the bacon is cooked let alone cooked properly. I’ve had more appetising bits of meat at football matches.
Ummm…when people say Superstore is a meat market, I’m not sure they’re referencing the burgers…
Monique – I think yours is a safe assumption.
It’s abundantly clear to anyone passing the gaff with their eyes shut in a high speed car that burgers are their strength.
So why order one, unless you set out to create a rather obvious moan.
Brother Duncan – I’m no masochist: The burger was recommended to me by a source I’ve trusted in the past. So I walked in and asked in burger was a speciality. Was told yes, due to the quality of the beef by local butcher & the seeded bun from Stoke Newington’s Spence Bakery.
meat to bun ratio is all wrong. bun should be softer. rocket is not great but even worse the rocket looks undressed. the cheese looks like cheap cheddar as opposed to some jack. the meat has been cooked on a barred griddle as opposed a flat griddle affecting the cooking of the meat which, as we can all see is cooked solid enough to take a mans eye out when the disgruntled customer Frisbees it in anger. if you’re not going to do it properly, why do it at all?
