Byron The Diner Cookbook

Tom Byng and Fred Smith believe that nothing beats a succulent burger with all the trimmings. It's worth getting the barbecue out for, the friends over, the family round, and the apron on. Byron is full of burgers as well as lots of other American dishes like macaroni and cheese, BBQ ribs, meatballs, Cobb salad, cheesecake, and milkshakes. It's for burger lovers, barbecue lovers, hosts and hostesses, family and friends, and for anyone who knows that the key to good food is to keep it simple and do it well.

Tom Byng opened the first Byron restaurant in London when it hit him that there weren't any places offering great hamburgers. A couple of years later, Tom tasted a fantastic burger in a London pub and discovered that Fred Smith was the chef responsible. They collaborated on a special burger for the Royal Jubilee that year: it was such a success that Fred joined Byron permanently. Now they have 54 restaurants throughout the UK, with more opening all the time.
