Bleecker Founder Zan Kaufman is clear that she sees it as a milestone for herself, personally. "Opening on Old
... - French smashburger hit Dumbo is heading to Shoreditch
A year on from their fellow Parisians Junk Burger arriving in London, Dumbo and their smash burgers are also crossing the Channel. Of the two burger companies, Dumbo were the first to introduce smashburgers to Paris and their arrival in London will be the brand's first place outside of that city.

- Stormzy is the first person to do a UK McDonald's Famous Order
A few days ago Stormzy posted a receipt from a McDonald's on his Instagram stories leading to a McFlurry of speculation (sorry) on what that meant.
