Hold onto your napkins, London – this June, things are getting crispy. Burger & Beyond has teamed up with seafood sorcerer Tom Brown (Pearly Queen) and meat maverick Richard Turner (Hawksmoor, Meatopia) for a no-holds-barred flavour clash that’s pure Iberian indulgence on a plate. The limited-run special? A sultry, golden pan de cristal sandwich — that cult Spanish bread that crackles when you bite — reimagined with full-throttle surf ‘n’ turf swagger.
Think juicy Iberico pork, sweet garlicky prawns, a fiery kiss of chilli and aioli, melty Ossau-Iraty cheese, sticky hot honey, and crunchy slaw – all snuggled inside that slender, shattering-crisp crystal bread. Then there’s the kicker: a rich, meaty pork jus for dipping. It’s basically a Spanish-French-BBQ fever dream, straight outta Shoreditch (or Soho, or Borough Yards – your call).
Whether you’re a committed carnivore, seafood fiend, or just someone who knows a banger of a collab when you see one, this is not one to miss. At £17.50, it’s a full-flavoured riot that demands two hands, a serious appetite, and a willingness to get a little messy.
Available exclusively at Burger & Beyond Shoreditch, Soho & Borough Yards from 1st–30th June
