The Big Easy

We went to yet another posh street, Kings Road for M to do her weekly obligatory window shopping although today she managed to break through the window, into the shop to purchase a couple of items. For lunch, (the only thing I am interested in today), we went to The Big Easy, an American restaurant on Kings Road. This restaurant came strongly recommended by a number of food guides. (http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/reviews/516.html) Its also said to be one of the top five restaurants to have steak at in London



I had the The Classic Chophouse Burger "prepared from the Finest Prime Chopped Scotch Beef with French Fries & House Made Coleslaw. Aberdeen Angus beef burger char-grilled & served with lettuce, tomato, red onion & a pickle." I can say that my craving has been satisfied. It was a good burger. For me, the beef has to have that char grilled taste, it must not be dry, it should be moist and juicy and it must be savoury obviously. The burger does meet all these criteria and so I am a happy camper. I don't mind coming back again to try their steaks.

M had the Bar-B-Q Home Smoked Ribs "Hand trimmed, extra meaty ribs, slow smoked & finished on the char-grill with our special recipe Bar-B-Q. sauce." Her favourite ribs is the one at Tony Romas and she said that the one we had today compared favourably to it. It was meatier than the ribs at TM but the sauce was not as good. Therefore, she considers it a tie.
