Trip Advisor calls Burger Brothers in Brighton the Best Burger in the UK. People in Burger Forums (Yes, there is such a thing) call it the best on the planet. So Trendengel had to know. Do we believe the hype? We sure do. The ‘Classic Beef’  which comes with rocket leaves, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, mustard, relish, black pepper mayo and caramelised onions was to die for.

The bun was without a doubt the best ever, the beef is locally sourced, the interplay of the ingredients is just perfect and the flavors are magical. We never had a burger that good. Period. End of story. Make the trip to Morth road in Brighton. It’s soon worth it. Promis.

Since its opening a year ago, SILO has operated a strict zero-waste model – including a package free supply chain, up-cycled furniture, locally sourced/foraged ingredients and a ‘nose to tail’ policy on meat. Modelled on pre-industrial food systems, the restaurant was founded on principles of a ‘respectful’ food culture – respecting the environment through a wholesome approach to food production as well as nutrition. SILO maintains total commitment to whole foods; milling ancient varieties of wheat for its in-house bakery, churning its own butter, and brewing its own botanical wine.

And no – the restaurant isn’t in London, New York or Pars but in the beautiful seaside town of Brighton. As 4-course meal won’t set you back much more than 30£ and is worth every cent. They have one of the most thoughtful vegetarian menus on the planet and if it comes to meat they are pretty damn good too. Why not combine a trip to Silo with a visit to the Fringe Festival, the Brighton Festival or The Great Escape? Just as thought…

Dario Checchini is often called the world’s best butcher. Some of the boldest-face culinary names worship his work. There are requests to open restaurants in Paris, New York and Berkeley, California. Instead, Mr. Cecchini chooses to remain monarch of his tiny empire of meat in Panzano – just south of Florence: a burger joint, a steakhouse, a restaurant serving the forgotten cuts of the cow — and, supporting it all, the family butchery, where he is on most days between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

To watch him slice to the sounds of AC/DC; to see him linger in the doorway, asking passers-by “Va bene?” and offering them free food and wine; all this is to witness a man without anxiety over what might have been if he would have gone out to conquer the world.

A visit to his restaurant is unforgettable. You will never look at meat the same way. Pretty much perfect – not a trend but an hones recommendation.
