F!LTH
The burger joint from chef and award-winning food writer Gizzi Erskine and model turned nutritionist Rose Ferguson, opened on Friday 4th January 2019.
They have taken over the Dirty Burger site in Bethnal Green. After years of secret development F!LTH have achieved what they deem to be, a pure miracle: Fast-food without the junk. It supposedly tastes as filthy as an old-fashioned cheese-burger, but it’s plant-based all the way. Plus, whilst eating a properly delicious burger, you will get 3 of your essential 10 a day. What’s more, they only use sustainably sourced produce, it’s completely planet friendly and perfect for the January hangover you’re pretending you don’t have…
