Restaurant Review – Foundry 39, Edinburgh – The Edinburgers

Our starters swiftly arrived, we had chose the nachos with spicy salsa, Monterey Jack cheese and sour cream.

Mr E opted for the Black Gold burger which was a 6oz dry aged beef patty with black pudding, double cheese, American mustard mayonnaise and sliced beef tomato.

As if the burger on it’s own wasn’t enough Mr E also added chilli beef fries to his order.

Now after all that we didn’t think we had room for dessert but our very helpful server convinced us that we needed to try the dark chocolate brownie, salted caramel sauce, toffee ice cream accompanied by a Berry raspberry ripple sundae.

The berry sundae was a little too sweet for us but there was a pretty good serving of ice cream and fruit.

Edinburgh's @pizza legally challenged by US pizza chain | The ...

@pizza (pronounced ‘at pizza’), a new Edinburgh restaurant claiming to produce ‘The World’s Fastest Pizza’, is entangled in legal allegations with the US &pizza chain for having copied design and product identity.

Unlike @pizza, which is opening on Saturday November 25 at Charlotte Lane in Edinburgh, &pizza (pronounced ‘and pizza’) first opened in Washington DC in 2012.

“As a result, @pizza is now the unremorseful and unauthorized copycat of &pizza, launching a knock-off chain of restaurants in the U.K.,” &pizza asserts in the lawsuit.

@pizza in Edinburgh is accused of having a too similar logo, shape of pizza and marketing strategies.

“We are confident that @pizza is making a bold new statement about what pizza can be and customers in Edinburgh can taste this first hand at our restaurant.”

Foundry 39, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink

These were nondescript and paste-y textured, and served alongside a clutch of slightly better tomato and Parmesan versions, with sugo dumped on top.

There were a few shreds of Parma ham, as billed, and oily pepperoni discs, but no sign of the chorizo Iberico, and the beef ragu appeared as a few blobs of something unidentifiable, though slightly fibrous and tomatoey.

Our smoked salmon (£12.50) version was more interesting, with a generous selection of stuff on top, though the addition of cold and congealed soft boiled egg quarters, with runny white bits resembling cataracts, wasn’t that welcome.

Both pizzas came on a very thin, dry and undulating base, which slightly erred towards a Ryvita-esque texture.

The peppery black pudding ingredient blotted out any flavour from the 6oz dry aged patty, which was topped with a slice of tomato, a layer of melted orange cheese, and a daub of American mustard, which looked and tasted just like mayo.
