The Visit
Supernova kicks off the burger tour with its famous smash burger, drawing crowds for its fresh-off-the-grill appeal. The reviewer is impressed by the crispy edges from the Maillard reaction and the nostalgic flavors reminiscent of a classic McDonald's burger, but elevated. While the fries are freshly cut and well-salted, they could be crispier. The overall experience is strong, with a fair price point and a satisfying, saucy burger, though some may find it a bit floppy.
What They Ate
Quotes
"Supernova burger. Fresh off the grill. Two patties, cheese, the house sauce. Went straight into it. It's pretty good. Yo! I actually didn't think I was gonna like this."
"This is what I imagine McDonald's burgers tasted like in 1955. This is good good."
"This is the crispy smash burger, which I think this chemical reaction is known as a Maillard reaction. So you get these little crispy bits on the side."
"Fries, if they were 30 seconds more crispier, you would have had a perfect fry right there. I mean, they're salted great."
Our Reflection
Supernova sets the tone for the burger quest with a nostalgic yet modern take on the smash burger. The reviewer's excitement is palpable, especially when describing the crispy Maillard edges and the throwback to classic fast food flavors.

There’s a sense of anticipation and appreciation for the craft, balanced by a realistic look at what could be improved. This is a place that sparks both memories and cravings, making it a worthy contender in London’s burger scene.
