Sorry for the delay!
I had quite the week.
Now of course people all have different taste, but I would have to recommend: the tomato bisque soup (not always on menu), and/or vineyard salad, seafood ravioli, and if you're lucky they'll have lavender crème brûlée. Really any of those are a great addition to your meal. It's hard to go wrong so long as you go in for dinner and pick an entree. And of course depending on your timing, summer months on the patio with the live music is very nice.

Anybody else tried one of these......
Further to my burger quest from LA and Vegas I have found this Holloween burger which is in sale during October at BK.... Apparently in Japan they use squid ink but in Europe it is food colouring which according to the press gives you luminous green poop....
So only difference is the acknowledge colored bun?
I haven't had a burger in quite some time, so it looks delicious to me! AT
Yep that's about it.....
Plus they use BBQ sauce instead of ketchup.....tasted exactly the same as a Whopper, but after my trip to the States nothing comes close to what I had over there so it was not very nice...but it was very interesting Andy.
Without doubt my favourite standard burger.....
Went to In N Out burger and Shake Shack....both superb. On the gourmet burger front it would go to 'Toby Keiths I Love This Bar and Grill' which was just a fabulous burger. Nothing in the UK now comes close to anything I had over there..!! Ha ha I had to ...
This is about 10 years ago
But Haché in Camden had some pretty tasty offerings. No idea if they are still any good or how they would compare to what you sampled in the U.S.
You should try patty and bun I think on saint James st behind selfridges
Also they opened a shake shack and five guys in Covent garden
There is a Shake Shack in Covent Garden....!!!!
In that case there will be a trip to London in the near future.....!!! Thanks for the heads up Have you been yet..? Andy.
Good Burger
if you come back to the states andy you should try five guys burger and fries. It is a chain that started on the east coast but all they do is burgers and hot dogs. They make a fantastic burger and the fries are unbelievable. Stewart
We have a 5 Guys near me in Manchester....
So I will give it another go and compare with what you guys have over there, There is also Shake Shack in London so I will give that a go when I'm next down there before Xmas and let you know what it is like Thanks, Andy.
You are missing out!
You need to try the bone marrow burger at Eureka in University Ctr near UCI.
Get out of here haha
I'll have to take your recommendation on that. It's not like I pass through UTC on a daily basis!
Hello ErikS!
Hope all is well. Have you been back to the Vineyard House lately? I told some friends about it and reported back that the crab cakes were great. -MW
Wow! Your memory is amazing!
It's nice to hear someone trying out my favorite spot, and of course liking it too! And oh yes, I have. I was there back in September having dinner with my family before heading back to Irvine. My family likes to take advantage of the live music on the pa...
Sounds like it's still good...
I haven't been up that way, had a road trip planned but couldn't make it. Vineyard House is on my list so I can't wait to try it. ErikS, is there a recommended item on the menu? -MW

Like the color a lot
But BK tends to put me off - somehow do not like their burgers at all...
The colour was cool....
But I don't really like either BK or McD's anymore either. Andy.
BK isn't what it use to be
It's an interesting spin on the festivities but not a selling point for me.
This is true....
But it was funny to try it I think both BK and McD's don't really have much going for them when there are much better places around. Hope your having fun.? Andy.
I'm doing great
I've been placing nicely in poker with the last nine games I have two first, two seconds, a third, a bubble and three zilch's. My Croatian friend is teaching me how to use English on a two wall bank to sink a ball in front of a corner pocket. All is well ...
All good over here....
and just found out there is a Shake Shack in London....ha ha. It's a tiny one in Covent Garden so time will tell if it is the same quality as Vegas baby. Fingers crossed for your poker competitions Andy.
I've yet to try Shake Shack
I'll have to try it next time I go to London or Vegas (lol). I just enjoyed an unusual treat using a hamburger bun. I have the fixings for a chili dog but no bun. : ( Since the chili dog doesn't know the difference, I shredded the burger bun, mixed in the...
I think the Vegas one would be a better bet.....
But of course if you ever find yourself in London I'll pop down from Macc Interesting take on a hot dog.....did it taste as good as it sounds..? I didn't try many of those over there except at the Baseball...but then again Ming got me all the food there t...
The closest I've come to London was
Boston; where I wore a London Fog trench coat. : ) The chopped up hot dog hamburger bun with chili was good. I should have topped it off with cheese and onions to make it better... Next time maybe. In Jr High, the local grocer made the best hot dog chili ...
Vegas, baby
I had one at the Las Vegas airport yesterday. After a week of overpaying for quality food, it seemed the appropriate way to return to common life, uncommonly. It definitely did not taste "A-1 infused" -- the mayonnaise was fairly overpowering, strangely -...
Excellent....
I'm sure any side effects will be imminent....unless of course yours was made with squid ink..? But yes like you it was rather unremarkable yet interesting and I had to try one. Andy.
re: try
They do a A1 steak sauce flavor for the US variant, haven't had a chance to try it: -MW ...
Worth a try....
But don't get too excited as it is a BK..!! Ha ha I don't think yours have squid ink in either so an interesting development will occur Andy.
re: worth
On the commercials they said it was A1 steak sauce. I haven't been to a bk in years! -MW
Sauce....
The steak sauce sounds nice.....We have BBQ sauce over here for this Halloween burger which is OK. The squid ink I'm talking about is to make the bun black....Japan use squid ink but Europe and I believe the US just use black food colouring which, as has ...
I just saw this post but had taken these photos a month ago...
... and my old college roommate forewarned me about the, uh, luminous green aftereffects! ...
Excellent....
What did you think of it..? It tasted just like a standard Whopper to me which therefore wasn't really very good but I had to try one just for fun....the after effects were interesting...ha ha ha Yours, Andy.
