Writes about food, drink, life, bullshit, and anything else he wants to get off his mind. For Andy, Berlin is like a huge playground for adults – somewhere you can do what you want without having to turn into a real grown-up. His first Berlin Loves You experience was over a $1 kebab and a 50¢ Sterni. ac@berlinlovesyou.com

BBB Berlin is Ostkreuz’s Slick Burger Operation

by
BBB-Berlin-Outside2-Kfir-Harbi

BBB Berlin stylishly straddles being both a down-to-earth burger joint and full-service restaurant. I must admit: since I wrote a relatively comprehensive guide to Berlin burgers back in 2014, I’ve eaten burgers very rarely. Too much of a good thing.
