Vermilion, the upmarket Asian fusion restaurant and bar complex in East Manchester is serving something different from its usual Thai and Indian dishes every Tuesday. Each week, intrepid diners can enjoy a nattily titled WAH burger - or fusion burger. The idea is to add spice to this popular fast food favourite, and for one night each week, Asian-influenced burgers and hot dogs will be served alongside their Stateside counterparts in a kind of gourmet battle. This is real, fast food - and the proof of the burger is in the eating. Watch this space for a new 'street food' project under the same moniker.
