Wagyu Burger @ The Greedy Cow

Few London burger make use of as quality a cut of meat as the Wagyu Burger at The Greedy Cow in Mile End. Originating from Japan, Wagyu beef is reared in a particular manner to ensure the production of only the most succulent and tender meat. The cattle are usually massaged during their lives and are fed beer - yes, we said beer - in order to increase their appetite during the summer months. Served in a bed of salad and drenched in a mixture of condiments and chutneys, it's become a favourite choice as this East London burger spot.

Known for marrying together an intriguing range of quirky flavours, the El Chappo perfectly symbolises the ingenuity and flair that runs through the minds of their chefs. With a base of aged Beef and Smokey Bacon, the dish kicks into life as soon as the spice and heat of the Jalapeno comes into contact with the rich flavours of the Aioli.
