Fast food
Fast food



Forget diets and detoxes, Londoners are cheerfully indulging in the latest culinary trend of gourmet fast food -- and Bubbledogs, a new restaurant serving hotdogs and Champagne, is the latest place to find it.

The trend started in 2010 with food truck vendors like Lucky Chip and the MeatWagon which both sell gourmet burgers. But when the trucks set up permanent offerings around town -- MeatWagon opened MeatLiquor in Marylebone last November and MeatMarket in Covent Garden earlier this year -- restaurateurs also began to catch on. Chef Mark Hix serves steak sandwiches and chicken and chips at his new East London haunt Tramshed; exclusive media hangout Soho House recently launched the Dirty Burger, where cheeseburgers are wrapped in branded greaseproof paper; and crispy buttermilk fried chicken is showing up on menus all over town from hipster hangout Shrimpy’s in King’s Cross to soon-to-open Wishbone in Brixton.

At Bubbledogs, which opened last week, the owners -- husband-and-wife team James Knappet and Sandia Chang – have impressive credentials. Knappet was head chef at the Michelin-starred Marcus Wareing and has worked at the Ledbury and Gordon Ramsay in London, as well as Noma in Copenhagen, which was recently named the World’s Best Restaurant for the second year in a row by Restaurant magazine. Chang joins from pop up restaurant Roganic and has also worked at Marcus Wareing.

Inspired by Crif Dogs, a hotdog joint and cocktail bar in New York’s East Village, Bubbledogs in London’s Fitzrovia neighbourhood is a tiny but buzzing space. Benches, stools and high tables give it the relaxed feel of a bar, and playful extras like bubble-shaped lights and witty cartoon dog artwork keep it casual and fun.

On the menu are 10 takes on the humble hotdog – and none are ordinary. The Jose is topped with salsa, avocado, sour cream and jalapenos; the Trishna Dog has mint mango chutney and coriander; the BLT is bacon-wrapped sausage; and the Korean-inspired K-Dawg is served with kimchi and red bean paste. Each dish includes a pork, beef or vegetarian sausage, a warm homemade bread bun and simple but well-executed sides including coleslaw, potato tots or sweet potato fries. If you prefer something plain, you can order a Naked Dog.

The list of Champagnes and sparkling wines – many from lesser known producers – adds a touch of sophistication, with imaginative descriptions like "Fresh Fruit Bowl” or a "Touch of Spice”, making it easy for even novice Champagne drinkers to order.

I agree with every person who think that it is very harmful. However, it is very useful for modern people. It can be found at every corner of any city.
I think restaurants such food should be reduced.

Fast food is evil. devil really. It's hard to make more awful food than this. It is extremely harmful. But I admit I eat it sometimes when I am in a hurry. P.S Have you seen the film "Fast Food Nation". It is very enlightening biggrin

My favorite topic...Khmmm
As you know i have always been interested on the topic of fast food from the economic point of view and i'd like to share my own opinion and thoughts with you my friends and favorite teacher!
Lets imagine that situation: A person starts eating fast food, gaining weight and becoming depressed. How to fight? Easily! Overweight is covered up with antitsilyulit creams, and stress is downed with antidepressants or jammed with fast food again. So it turns circulation of money in the economy.
We can make a conclusion that business development will be successful if people have always been sick, fat and hungry. Only then it will bring money!

A very 'tasty' and 'relishing' article cool One thing keeps worrying me - what other fast food recipes will people invent to draw money form each other, knowing that the food they sell is actually a perfect recipe for obesity, heart problems and other health challenges. This is the basis from which I look at fast food. Fast food chains must pay high taxes to natinal governments because, in the long run, the consumption of FF items leads to absentism at work, health damage, and huge investments into medical treatment.
