Buckle up burger lovers – there’s a new delicious burger in town. Voted ‘No. 1 Burger in the World’ in 2023, the burger that went viral in NYC, The Big Matt, has arrived as a lunchtime special to Hawksmoor in Dublin this month.
A burger that started as a wry tribute to a classic and accidentally became a bit of a cult hit, it’s been one of the most requested items on the menu since it was first introduced on the menu in New York, way back in 2017.
The Big Matt (€21) is a towering tribute by Hawksmoor Group Executive Chef Matt Brown to a beloved fast food icon (no prizes for guessing which one!), with two dry-aged beef patties, double American cheese, Hawksmoor special sauce, shredded lettuce, onions and homemade pickles — with beef dripping fries on the side, of course, for Big Matt meal perfection.
The Big Matt will be available Mon-Sat lunchtimes in Hawksmoor – there’s also some more new lunch options available in Hawksmoor for the next six months
Other specials also include dictionary thick 35-day dry aged rump steak & Café de Paris butter, served with beef-dripping fries and a steakhouse salad (€26), and roast hake with woodland mushrooms, creamed potatoes & lemon butter sauce (€26). Or charcoal roasted chicken, with roast garlic, lemon & parsley (€24), and a vegan option of charcoal roasted butternut squash, shiitake & oyster mushrooms with cashew ricotta (€12).
