It turns out that five unknown American guys have a lot to answer for: snaking queues up Long Acre, burger comas and that cajun style seasoning that’ll keep you licking your fingers for hours afterwards. We’re talking about US burger joint Five Guys, which landed in Covent Garden last year. It’s upmarket drunk food: think juicy patties smashed with cheese, smoky bacon cheese hot dogs and chips smothered in Five Guys spices – so good they should patent it. Wash it down with 150 (150!) combinations of Coke from the indestructible-looking drinks machine, and you’re good to go. Hangover, what hangover? – Cathy Adams
