Shake Shack: 'Shroom Burger (VEGGIE), 9.5/10

• By popular demand and in homage to certain non-meat-eating individuals (you know who you are!), here is Burgerite's very first Veggie Burger review! Cult US-brand Shake Shack seemed a good place to start, as word on the street tipped it's 'Shroom Burger as best in class. And to be honest, it's hard to see how to surpass a deep-fried crunchy breadcrumbed roasted portbello mushroom stuffed to the brim with golden melted muenster and cheddar cheeses.....the bar has definitely been set, bring on the challengers!!

• Cheese fries are heavily crinkle-cut, so if you like your potato jagged you're in for a treat. They do look and taste mass-produced, and the opaque, viscous yellow topping doesn't diminish that sensation. Definitely not memorable, but not a bad filler:

• Strong selection of milkshakes too, based on their range of tasty Frozen Custards (ice cream, basically).

• The 'Shroom is a satisfying, moreish burger in it's own right whether you eat meat or not - so more choice for everyone!

BOOM Burger: Signature Boom Burger, 9.75/10

• Gourmet British-made burgers with one seriously vibrant, sizzling Caribbean twist! If fruity, tangy, spiced flavour explosions are your thing, BOOM Burger is ready to give your tastebuds an addictive, meaty bite of Jamaica from it's cosy urban corner of Ladbroke Grove, tucked into the concrete of Westway flyover. It's a refreshing experience, no airs and graces, just good ol' soul food, tropical cocktails, bright colours, loud music and fun times!

• The Boom Burger is the house speciality, and it is stunning: a tender beef patty smothered in rich, velvety cheese, topped with thick, punchy BACON JAM, fresh, crunchy red onion, lettuce and tomato dressed in creamy, zingy jerk mayo, with the perfect brioche bun. Faultless combination of ingredients, beautiful execution:

• The plantain fries are a JOY - sweet, chewy, crispy, these are the ultimate companion for any mouth-watering main you choose:

• For great food and a great vibe it doesn't get better than BOOM - sunshine in a burger!

MEATliquor SINgapore, Red Chili Burger&Dead Hippie: 9.25/10

• Headline: after a soul-destroyingly bad trip to MEATmission in London last November, MEATliquor SIN has come to the rescue, restoring my faith in the franchise with a storming Red Chili burger, quality Dead Hippie, and hard-hitting Shambal fries!! Cannot believe how well Singapore is WINNING at the US-style burger market, although it does come at a price, SGD 24/22 in this case. Thankfully you can get buy 1 free 1 mains with the Entertainer App throughout 2016, hence my quadruple burger order!!
