Junk vs 7th Street: Who is the new London king of smashburgers?

With Junk arriving from France and 7th street from the US, which of Soho’s latest highly-hyped burgers joints comes out on top?

Transcript

00:00I'm here in sunny Soho and we are on the hunt for two of London's newest smash burgers.

00:09So we're just walking past Supernova which is just there and along with Four Legs the Pimsoll

00:14they're probably serving some of London's best known smash burgers

00:18but the two we're going to check out are two completely new openings.

00:21There's not too much truffle aroma but when you sink its teeth into it you really get the

00:30truffle hit. Good Maillard reaction, very very crisp patties. You're going back in.

00:36Now there's a tasty burger.

00:40You've got three smash patties in the large, cheese between each one.

00:45I mean it looks good, it looks meaty, it looks beefy.

00:52Good sauce, really creamy.

00:56Maybe their other patties were a little bit crisper.

00:59Good pickle flavour. Yeah, really good smash burger.

01:03Let's go find 7th Street Burger.

01:09Huge pickles and absolute whoppers but it means you get a really good

01:12strong pickly hit and they've really crisped up the corners of that beef so it's super crisp.

01:19Really good.

01:24You see how crispy they've got the patties there.

01:28Pickles not quite cut as thick, sweet caramelised onions and that little truffle butter which is in

01:35the burger. Really good. It's interesting, I think that the normal cheeseburger at 7th Street is

01:42better. It's got those thick cut pickles, it's really really delicious. Definitely worth it.

01:48I would say that actually the truffle burger though at Junk is better than the truffle burger

01:55at 7th. The patties are really good and to be honest both are absolutely worth a visit.
