- Burger and Lobster's Taittinger brunch features a Champagne Train running along the bar
Now we know there are plenty of fun police out there who hate the idea of gimmicks. But we are not among them and, frankly, this latest conceit at Burger & Lobster sounds like an absolute hoot.

It's all sounding very familiar. A company starts with a bit of gentle growth in the 80s. It's then taken over
