This week has been mental, and expensive. Paying balances on wedding venues categorically blows. Friday night was a welcome relief, and Miss J and I made sure we were at dinner nice and early before everyone else so we could get a thank-feck-its-the-end-of-the-week drink in. And it tasted gooooood.

I've been reading about the burgers at
Bar Boulud, so I rounded up the usual suspects and in aid of ensuring no one suffered from food envy, all six of us ordered burgers. I gotta say, if you're going to pay £14 - £20 for a burger, that burger better be pretty amazing.

Frenchie burger - with confit pork belly, rocket, dijon tomato compote, morbier cheese, peppered bun |
 |
BB burger - with foie gras, red wine braised short ribs, truffle, frisée, horseradish mayonnaise, confit tomato, black onion seed bun |
 |
Piggie burger - with BBQ pulled pork, green chilli mayonnaise, bibb lettuce, red cabbage slaw, cheddar bun |
They were worth every penny. I'm pretty sure I'll never eat another burger again. I'd feel like I was cheating on the BB. Damn that burger was good.

It was a pretty good start to the weekend.
