I have spent an inordinate amount of time in various Spoons this weekend owing to the awful weather and our awful public transport system. So while I wait for my Korean friend chicken burger here’s some of the under explored reasons why Spoons is so great: 1. They have real Heinz ketchup (ditto Heinz mustard, HP sauce etc). This is impressive when most food trucks and even restaurants etc now use cheaper supermarket-brand versions as Heinz has become so pricey 2. The southern fried chicken strips are better than the chicken selects in McDonald’s (and that’s a high bar) 3. The staff are nice (I’ve always found) 4. The spice bag is elite 5. There’s something for everyone - even Aperol Spritz! (£4.75) 6. The free re-fills on the coffee 7. Often they’re in great heritage buildings 8. The explicit invite on the pump to try before you choose. This is great Many more but my burger has now arrived
