Snow Job: Well, I think that went rather well, don't you? By the time anyone realizes what's just happened here, we'll be long gone!
There's an AIRCOM (Canadian Forces Air Command) bomber wing waiting on standby to hear the results of our recon mission, as soon as Hawk gives them the word, they'll bomb this place into next Tuesday! I guess the secrets of that spaceship are just one of those things that mankind was "never meant to know".
Hmm...I wonder how our prisoner is making out back at the snowmobile?
The 2018 Think development - Think WIDER conference, held on 13-15 September in Helsinki, Finland, showcased UNU-WIDER, its work, and the many people and institutions that are engaged with it.
The conference held panel discussions on all of the main themes and findings of UNU-WIDER’s research during 2009-18 — finance, food and climate change; and transformation, inclusion and sustainability.
The event aimed to mobilize evidence and action around the 2030 SDG agenda and its goals.

What you see before you is the latest London location for Burger & Lobster (*fanfair* the global phenomenon!) I think this is number 9 though I may be wrong. These are the (Russian?) guys behind the Goodman steakhouses, and so you could say that they know a little something about meat, at the least! As for the aesthetic of the placeâ¦very American, I dunno if âCrabshackâ would be the right word, but the rustic wood, oldschool filament lamps and lobster cages on the walls come pretty close.
Itâs a strange one, this place, the menu basically has three mains - a whole lobster, a burger and what I guess is simply a lobster roll (cold lobster, warm meat - strong combination). No menu for food at all - you just pick one of the three. As your waiter/waitress may tell you - we âonly do three things, but we do them wellâ. Every meal comes with a side salad (tastes legit due to cheese and other unhealthy things) and a reasonable portion of fries (which are, dare I say, a dead ringer for those youâd get at McDonalds). Lobsters are sourced fresh from Nova Scotia and Maine (I think?), depending on season. As far as lobsters go, I have eaten lobsters all over the US and these areâ¦.pretty close to how I remember (ask for it steamed instead of grilled for full fishy lobster flavoursâ¦)
As this is a relatively new location, theyâre not quite as rammed as I hear the other ones can get (yet!). 3 hour queues? Apparently people will put up with such things. As for queuing up for 3 hours for a restaurant? I love food but you wonât see me doing that. Ever. Not ever. Spend more time waiting than eating? REALLY?! Who does that? OK, Iâll stop. Onto their pricing: £20 is a bit steep for a burger but for a lobster it feels like a bargain. Though the âno reservationâ system seems pretentious, the actual dining experience, thankfully, does not feel quite the same way. From what I saw, staff are super chill, and you eat off of trays instead of plates (which is either pretentious or unpretentious, I dunno). Idea: you could theoretically eat here âeconomicallyâ by getting a lobster to split between the two of you (provided you werenât hugely hungry). And buy more drinks and desserts. Said desserts and drinks are a...reasonable selection, reasonably priced - I suppose about average for London. They do quite a few cocktails, I think 17 last time I checked.
Part of the fun is, obviously, eating the lobster with the cracking tools they provide (your patience is rewarded by access to the delicious parts of the flesh hidden in the deep recesses of the exoskeleton). Eating lobster is actually not as hard, nor messy, as people think it is. You simply crack the joints with the dangerous implements they provide you (in this instance, the âWestmark Crackyâ, lol). This is a legit place to go with friends and loved ones - a lot of fun. It is, however, not a good place to take new business acquaintances or potential romantic connections. Eating with a bib whilst pieces of crustacean fly everywhere probably isnât a good look (though I could be wrong!). Before anyone asks, no, you donât get to choose which lobster youâre going to eat from the tanks (which I am grateful for - I donât think I am quite ready to confront the reality of choosing exactly what has to die to feed me. Goddamn...)
All in all, good food, nice location - none of this speedy table turnover and frenetic rushing I read about in some other reviews. So yeah, a somewhat minimalist approach to restaurateuring which delivers upon its promise of burger and/or lobster. If they keep their lobster pricing the same, I will most certainly be back. Well done to you, (possibly Russian) people of Burger and Lobster!

If this is where I think it is, this the Hill Garden and was designed by the important landscape architect Thomas Mawson, 1861-1933.

Thanks seadipper: I have also googled mawson now and found an aerial view of the garden at:

and found the titbit that the pergola walk was built on stuff excavated for the Northern Line!

pay attention, think for yourself and, in the end, just make sure your decisions are yours.

Think it might be a Torino? A '71, maybe?
I really like the textures on that rear deck.
