Sitting in an unassuming spot at the Dubai Motordrome lies an all new Food Truck named Valu Burger. While value may be the name of their game, flavor is what they deliver in spades.
From the street to the suite our culinary curiosity has taken us across more than 25 countries and countless cities where we’ve dived head first into what’s on offer.
From hawker stands to Michelin starred restaurants and everything in between our passion for sharing the good life with those close to us sprouts conversation and opportunity.
For this we are eternally grateful.
Thanks for stopping by.
All in Burgers
Sitting in an unassuming spot at the Dubai Motordrome lies an all new Food Truck named Valu Burger. While value may be the name of their game, flavor is what they deliver in spades.
The High Joint has become a cult classic in Dubai for all burger lovers. We stop by their new outlet in Motor City to try out their exclusive new menu.
No this isn’t a story about Cypress Hill, but rather a quick tale about a great little burger joint in Al Safa that seats five people. I said little and meant it. It’s tiny but pumping out burgers with big flavors.
It’s not like Jumeirah Beach Road is lacking options when it comes to getting your burger game on but if you push on down the road past most of the outlets you’ll be sure to come across the Burger Boulevard.
We checked out an innovative couple of carnivores who have created a unique online only food business.
Have been keen to check out this French inspired burger joint for a while, so when I was doing some last minute holiday shopping over at Outlet Mall, I thought what the heck?
Take a cruise down Jumeriah Beach Road and you’ll be sure to come across at least a dozen Burger Joints, each with their own take on the ubiquitous patty between buns. By now you’ll also know I’m a bit a burger fan, I think my plan is to actually just try them all.
The Burger hunt continues! We take a stroll over to Bluewaters and check out Ketchup to see what’s cracking.
I often wonder if Jumeirah Beach Road should be renamed Jumeirah Burger Road because it’s absolutely jam packed with Burger outlets. There are some notable places to stop by along the strip with one of them being a slightly newer opening called Lads Burger.
Straight from Santa Fe, the Habit's Dubai debut over in Ibn Batutta Mall is a good one. Great tasting, flavor packed sandwiches, outstanding service and great value for money prices. You really can't go wrong.
Who doesn’t love a Burger and a Lemonade? Everyone seemingly, because the lines are always long at Kite Beach to get your hands on these things oh and there’s Crispy Chicken and Cheetos too.
So by now it’s pretty clear that I love a good burger and there are many different joints around the city to try. Some a great and some are less so. One joint that is is doing great things is Blaze Burger which is originally from Bahrain.
There’s a bunch of tiny outlets along Jumeriah Beach Road that are doing great things. We check out Burger Trip.
Blink and you'll miss it. Ziggy's Eatery is a tiny little place just near the Balaclava Train Station that has gained cult status for their burgers, wraps and salads. The Talking Fork paid them a visit to see what’s going down.
When it comes to chasing flavors, there's always a few classics to seek out and the eponymous burger is one such item that can’t be ignored. Enter Parlour Diner.
Is there any such thing as a healthy burger? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, Bareburger over in Festival City is a US import that uses sustainable practices to deliver what they describe as clean-comfort food, which in itself sounds pretty interesting.
Does this band of 5 Guys live up to the burger hype they’ve created?
Neil Perry’s Burger Project brings a great ethos around provenance, community and sustainability to a world flooded with cheap and disposable food offers. On paper this project sounds great and as a pretty big Neil Perry fan I was very eager to check try the burgers myself….
Shake Shack has a good story, from its all-natural ingredients and hiring practices to its environmental responsibility, design and community investment, the Shake Shack approach is about “Standing for Something Good.”
There was a time before the Blazes and the Black Taps ruled the burger world in Dubai. Back then it was all about Elevation and Burger Fuel.
