27/12/24 - updated with menu details and start date
Whyte Rushen launched a hugely popular restaurant (and without much in the way of fanfare either) in the shape of Whyte's in Hackney at the tail end of last year. And things continue to change with the restaurant, with it pivoting to a French-inspired menu for February.
Now he's onto the next thing - burgers. The chef has already a very popular smash burger under his belt which has appeared at pop-ups and also as a smaller version in the Whyte's restaurant menu. Now, for weekend lunches, Whyte's will be opening as a burger bar, Fat Whyte Slims. It'll be a pre-order affair (no mad queues here) with three burgers on offer (to start). The kick-off menu looks pretty amazing, including:
- OG smash - Beef burger, shit cheese, burger sauce
- Bermuda Triangle - Prawn patty, Mary rose, shredded lettuce, grilled pineapple
- Chinatown - Pork patty, hoi sin BBQ sauce, sriracha, crispy seaweed
- Burnt basque cheesecake shake (with/without rum)
- Burnt opinion powder fries with gherkin relish
Full news and an opening menu are coming soon - we'll update you as soon as we get our hands on those.
