Ten years of the National Burger Awards and this year’s event was certainly one to remember. It felt fitting for the industry-wide burger bonanza to celebrate a decade from its brand-new home of London’s Big Penny Social, a generous and accommodating space that was perfect to play host for our biggest competition yet – and with such a stellar line-up to boot! The passion and camaraderie we continue to see from each new finalist cohort never fails to amaze. It is, after all, a massive part of what makes the hospitality industry so special. Read all about the fresh batch of burger royalty in our coverage from page 24, and prepare to see them face-off again at the ultimate burger showdown – the Champion of Champions – in September…

Elsewhere in this issue, we chat to Chotto Matte founder Kurt Zdesar about the importance of concept creativity and Nikkei cuisine (p.18), delve into Summer Serves as the warmer season approaches (p.52) and hear the latest from the accommodation sector in our Hotel Check-In (p.56).

Sit back, relax and enjoy!
