• The Joanna's burger pop-up is returning

  

  We may still be a little way off from actually eating in (or outside) restaurants again, but they are still finding new ways to give us a small taste of the real thing.

• The Bleecker Black returns as a DIY kit - for one day only

  

  The Bleecker Black is one of Bleecker's most loved burgers (and actually our personal fave from them) but it hasn't been a mainstay of the menu for a while (since 2017, in fact). But now it's making a triumphant return for one day only, to celebrate St Patrick's Day. 

  It'll be available as an at-home kit, and features enough to make two Bleecker Blacks. So that's four dry-aged

  Updated 26/2/21

• The Ethical Butcher launches climate-positive burger brand Ground

  

  London is overrun with fantastic burgers these days, so it's pretty rare that a new one comes along with a genuinely interesting story behind it. But a new venture called Ground, from The Ethical Butcher’s Farshad Kazemian and Lily Bovey (of street food stall Stakehaus) certainly sounds like it will be worth trying. In a nutshell, the pair have teamed up to create a burger that is ‘climate-positive’, meaning that the
