The first of what we hope will be many Burgermat’s Shows opened the other night in London. Organised by a good friend and burgerphile who runs the uber-tasty blog Burgerac it was a pop-up burger night with great food and great beers all served on burgermats created by a plethora of creative types. In the mix were James Joyce, Andy Rementer, Small Print’s BRENB, Asbestos, Mark Blamire and many more. For those who weren’t there (here’s a blow by blow of one person’s experience) you can buy the artworks from the guys at Print-Process now. Saucy (and mustardy)!

Well if you know us then you know we love burgers so any pop up burger joint is going to get our attention. Well Burger Monday is working with the terrific Burgerac Blog (Bergerac geddit?) is putting on an extra special night.

Monday morning again so let’s kick off with something really tasty to help get us through the first 5 day week in a while. What Katie Ate is the incredible blog of Irish born graphic designer turned food photographer Katie Quinn Davis who is now based in the sunnier climbs of Sydney, Australia. From a standing start, over only a couple of years she has developed her site into a leading culinary treasure trove of recipes realised with stunning photography and some added little treats like minifilms, magazines (her 470+ page Christmas magazine is a must-look/read) and other insights. With a book deal on the way I’ve a feeling we’re going to be seeing a lot more of what Katie ate everywhere. It might be only 8am but after looking at this I’m already starving.
