One of our many quirks as a nation is our consistent ability to complain about the weather. Too cold, too grey, too hot (yeah, right!) – it really doesn’t matter what it’s doing outside, you can count on us to find fault! And while the sky is seemingly never short of clouds to rain on our parade, it’s easy to forget just how lucky we are to experience the rotation of four seasons.

Here we are, on the cusp of spring, with restaurants far and wide introducing their vibrant new menus for the warmer weather. Beets, sprouts and cabbage are out; asparagus, lettuce and radish are in – and I, for one, can’t wait to soak up the flavours and nutrients this season’s fresh produce will bring.

But first, to this issue! And there’s certainly plenty to sink your teeth into here. If you missed out on the recent National Burger Awards, get the lowdown on our winners from page 22. We’ve also got an interview with Amazónico’s Thomas Lecoq ahead of his move to Miami for the group’s latest – and largest – outpost (p.16), a recap of our recent visit to Rondo at The Hoxton (p.20) and a Q&A with Tommy Kempton, founder of Buster’s in Brixton (p.40).

All this, and so much more, is packed within these pages. So, sit back, relax and enjoy!
