Every year around the beginning of July, we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating some
of what makes Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully never-ending
discussion. The primary purpose of BEST OF REYKJAVÍK is celebration! It’s about big-upping stuff,
giving mad props to it and patting it on the shoulder. The following are some nice tips we pulled
from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2014 which you can read in full at www.grapevine.is.
“Everyone has these fucked up burgers
now,” says one Grapevine panellist.
“Where can you just get a proper
burger?” Come to think of it, we have no
idea. Suffice to say that while the burgers
at Roadhouse (“a hilarious place to find
yourself”) are far from “proper,” they are
pretty damn close to Awesome—or, like,
Totally Horrifying, but that’s kind of the
same thing, right? Case in point: The
Empire State, a double burger whose
patties have been rent asunder by a
fried egg, onion rings, bacon, jalapeños,
several sauces, and…wait for it…a
grilled cheese sandwich. Yes, you read
that right. There is a second friggin’
sandwich lodged in the middle of this
burger. “The first bite is amazing,” says
our resident competitive eater, “and the
last bite is terrible. At what point do you
like yourself in this process?”

This charming pair of stores, one in
101 and the other in 105, is perfect for
those who really care about where their
food comes from. The purveyors of Frú
Lauga look to promote tradition as well
as innovation in food, and often have
samples of the wine and food to prove it!

BEST GALLERY:
KLING OG BANG
At a recent exhibition including both
a jar of peas and a video installation
of a wiggling, polka-dotted ass, one
Grapeviner nodded conclusively: “This
is art.” And yes, our panellists agree
that Kling og Bang is the heart of
Reykjavík’s grassroots art scene, “the
place where you see work by artists
who aren’t making money.” But there’s
a lot of high profile work shown there,
too. Recently, K&B hosted a five-part
multimedia performance series in
collaboration with New York’s ESP TV,
and “The Visitors” by fellow Reykjavík
gallery i8’s artist, Ragnar Kjartansson.
