Last Saturday Bruno and I went to a Twenty Something London event for his birthday, since his favorite food is . . . cheeseburgers! I'm guilty of being one of those people who gives gifts I'd like to receive myself, and this is no exception. Whenever I act crabby close friends literally ask, "Meg, are you ok? Do you need a cheeseburger?" (I think I need this shirt). It was somewhat dangerous to marry someone who shares my love of a perfect burger, like, we end up eating them for every meal, but it made for a clear (if somewhat self-serving) birthday present choice :).
Burgerfest was held in an artist studio space in East London, a big warehouse filled with the different tents/ stands/ an airstream food truck for each burger joint, and another room with a dj, bar, picnic tables and retro furniture. The bar ran out of beer but someone went out for cases of Red Stripe, the music was on point, and the warehouse was full of smoke from the grills and twenty-somethings glad they'd worn their stretchy jeans. There were 5 burgers and a burger cupcake w vanilla french toast "fries"! I don't think either of us will be grumpy for a long time! x
