Last night's dinner at Luxford Burgers (in Aizle's old spot) was brilliant. How bloody refreshing it is to drink a cold lager inside whilst eating food that arrives looking how it looks on the restaurant's social media... #edinburgh #edinburghrestaurants #burgers #indoordining

Well ain't that a dreamy list of ingredients! Sounds like my favourite menu yet too...
