Slide Nr 11Krusty Burger from The Simpsons – You might not think it’s possible to dine at a cartoon restaurant, but there is, indeed, a real-life version of The Simpsons’ Krusty Burger. A replica of its cartoon equivalent can be found at Universal Studios theme park, near The Leaky Cauldron. Although it’s a pastiche of chain restaurants from the show, here, super-fans can get their hands on a real Krusty Burger, Ribwich, Heat Lamp Dog and more, all washed down with in-universe beverages like Buzz Cola and Duff Beer. It’s truly the world of Springfield come to life, and a chance to relive some of the most hilarious moments from the show.

Slide Nr 15Hell’s Kitchen from Hell’s Kitchen – Gordon Ramsay brought fire to the art of cuisine in his famous reality show Hell’s Kitchen, where teams of chef-contestants would compete to cook the perfect restaurant service under Ramsay’s watchful eye – and harsh tongue. The UK and US versions of the show were filmed on sets, but the celebrity chef has launched a chain of US restaurants modelled after the experience of the programme. As you would expect, the food is held to the highest standard, with the menu featuring a number of dishes from the show. What’s more, episodes from later seasons were filmed at branches of the restaurant. It’s the perfect place to feel the heat of your favourite cooking competition!
