I had the same issue at Bukowski at Boxpark the second time I visited, the first visit having yielded a perfectly cooked medium rare burger. I was in a rush, and didn’t have time to wait for a replacement for the burger served to me, which was at best cooked medium/well, but let the waitress know my burger was overcooked, just so the chef would know, since the last time the burger was so perfect I though they might actually care. The chef came out and asked to see the burger, that I was in mid-bite with, and then proceeded to tell me off. He told me that he cooked burgers all day and he knew what medium rare was and that my (totally non-pink) burger was exactly medium rare. Eventually I had to ask him to leave me in peace to eat my (crap) burger. The manager was sitting at the next booth and totally ignored the fact the chef was telling a customer off until I complained – she then said, “oh yeah, I overheard”. Boo.

this should have been called ’50 shades of medium rare’.

Thanks, Andy, for feeling my pain.

The burgers in London ARE getting much much better but their colour consistency is not.

How sad. When I think of “Daniel Young” the first thing that comes to mind is the sheer glamour – I mean, just imagine eating all that amazing food. The reality I imagine is more prosaic and grey… though maybe better than it used to be?

Here’s wishing you better days and better burgers than this.
