As I walked up the metal stairs, everything vanished.

Stresses. worries. concerns.

The eclectic steamy stench of street food stifled stress.

Flirtatious house music pummelled me into a state of Ahhhh Blisss-to

Eat. Drink. Play through a maze of rambunctious epicurean delights.

There, I discovered Black Bear Burger.

A filthy nest of sinister brisket squelched out a dark grizzly jacuzzi of Grrrrrr.

It clawed and mauled and scratched my face off.

Top 3 Burgers of all time.

Box off boring.

Park your problems.

Box Park is gorgeously jumbled, delicious fun. It’s the heartbeat of Shoreditch.

Roger Wade, BOX PARK founder, is the latest guest on HUNGRY.

Roger’s had an INSANE career:

• In 1990 Roger created and successfully sold streetwear brand Box Fresh
• Roger brought brands Carhartt and Penfield to the UK from New York.
• In 2011 opened Boxpark Shoreditch, 2016 Boxpark Croydon, 2018 Box Park Wembley

Roger is one of the most emotionally intelligent and intellectually curious people I’ve ever met.

He possesses creative gumption to spot opportunities before others.
