Lucky Chip, Kevin Bacon Burger: 9.5/10

• Originating in 2011 as a legendary street food van trading in a disused car park in East London, Lucky Chip now has permanent sites dotted in the NE of the city, serving up their novelty US-style burgers which still pay homage to Hollywood stars with quirky wordplay. Moreover, Lucky Chip has NAILED the dirty burger, and dirty fries for that matter too, combining gastronomy, wackiness, and red plastic diner baskets to epic effect.

• Kevin Bacon, the signature bacon-cheeseburger, hits every spot - richly juicy aged beef, a blanket of American cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, on a bed of shredded lettuce and pickles, sandwiched by a traditional squidgy-touch bun. On paper pretty standard with a cheap edge, but the eat is truly sensational, with every mouthful an indulgent, oozing carb/meat/grease fest of the highest order:

.

• Tempted by the loaded sides, the spicy mayo cheese fries similarly maxes out all health warnings - a spectacular pile of skin-on chips bonded by congealed cheese, smothered by copious amounts of thick cheese-flavoured sauce, and liberally topped with tangy, creamy mayo:

• So Lucky Chip does in fact live up to the hype - don't let the kooky branding fool you, these burgers are seriously impressive, and a real contender for best-in-show. Worth trekking across London for!

Dirty Burger, Dirty Bacon Burger: 9/10

• Hands-down THE sloppiest burger in London (honestly, just look at it!).

• Nothing revolutionary about the simple set of ingredients used (patties, bacon, mature cheddar, lettuce, tomato, gherkin, mayo), but it just eats really, really well.

• If you need potato with your burger, the crinkle cut fries will suffice, but are instantly forgettable.

• The onion fries however, are the right kind of deep-fried, battered, salty decadence worthy of accompanying the sinful mess of a burger you've ordered.

• Go the whole hog and order a milkshake too - you only live once!
