Steak, grilled bacon, red onion, lettuce, and sauce—these are the timeless burger ingredients we crave. With countless twists on the classic already out there, Maxwell Bar & Grill in London's vibrant Covent Garden has elevated the formula with a bold innovation. What sets this London burger apart? It's served with a pitcher of melted cheddar for you to pour on top!
Dubbed the Cheesebomb burger, this indulgent gourmet creation skips standard cheese sauce for an entire pitcher of steaming, molten cheddar. Diners pour it themselves over the hot patty, ramping up the excitement. British journalist Chris Rickett of Metro sampled the £13.95 (about €16) dish—complete with fries, per tradition—and loved it. 'The burger is excellent, and the cheese overload doesn't overpower it,' he notes. Pro tip from his review: avoid white shirts!
