Comments on: Paul’s Famous Hamburgers, Sylvania http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/01/pauls-famous-hamburgers-sylvania/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

You're welcome! Ooh sounds lovely, I've heard that it does taste different and Americans do such great burgers! :) Oh please do ans I'd love to know what you think of it! Hi sandra-They sure are! Like a blast from the past really :) Ahh yes a great idea! Haha I didn't say that :lol: Hi Cakelaw-Absolutely, I adore beetroot. Sometimes I ask for extra! :P Hi Steph-Haha they did that for us. If I had done it with my handy knife it would have look much more hacked to bits :lol: Yes there's always the worry of beetroot on clothes and it sometimes runs down the arms! Hi Matilda-Definitely, nothing fancy here just good burgers :) I'm sure he did if he worked there. It seems like everyone knows Paul's! :) Hi Anthea-Hehe maybe if you combine it with a trip to do something else? :) Hi Julia-Interesting! I thought they were all pretty much the same! :) Hi Angela-Oh really! Maybe it's an Australian thing. Oh I really want to try In and Out burger! I've heard so much about it :( Hi Alison-Haha! I wish they delivered to me too! :lol: Aww thankyou. I just love meeting people and talking to them about food. Hence probably why I love doing interviews! :) Hi Linda-I know, it's about half a block too short when you get off the bridge! We should have tried a milkshake but the pineapple crush was too good :) Hi Emma-I absolutely agree! The bigger the better and it's a meal and a half :lol: Hi Joey-Ooh yum!! Ah thinly sliced tomato is best, it's also less likely to slip out when eating it too. Hi Zam-It is indeed :) Yum! Interesting-I didn't really see it as mixing meats but I guess it is! :) Hi Jess-Oh no! Haha yes you do. Actually they said that some people don't like it so you have to ask for it. Although I always ask for extra :) Blue cheese would be gorgeous on a burger! Oh no, no such thing? That's terrible and I don't blame her for carrying it around. I love it! :) Hi KT-Thankyou and you're welcome! :) That was so sweet of him I have to say! Hehe another person that doesn't like beetroot! :P Hi Vita-I think burger porn is one of the hardest to resist forms of food porn honestly! :lol: Yes BBQ and chili is heaven together! Hi Theresa-Some vegetarian burgers are amazing aren't they! :) Yum-sour cream, never thought of that! Drools.... Hi Michael-Haha no but you would have that in Sydney! ;) Hi Megan-Yes the prices are quite amazing! I had to do a double take :lol: Hmm well you see I adore chicken salt and Salt and vinegar is a tad too strong for me but I'm willing to do a taste test (for research purposes you know ;) ) Hi Tiffany-Haha! Yes burgers are so hard to resist although I don't mind a vegetarian burger. I tried vegetarianism once and it didn't work for me :lol: Hi Bev-Fantastic! I hope you liked it. Haha those wacky Scots! :lol: Hi Belle-Haha! Thanks, they're very food porny aren't they (as in extreme closeups :lol: ). Yep it's that fake yellow too! :P Hi Janelle-Oh wow she was a real fan! :) I think if I were 20 mins away I'd do the same. Sadly we're further than that! :( Hi Divina-Oh really? They're wonderful so if you get the chance :) Haha that's the best way to eat them-with abandon! Hi Ellie-It was! So good :D Absolutely you should! :) Hi MrsDesperate-LOL what a hilarious name for a burger shop! Do you know why it's called that? :P Hi Fiona-Hey you're welcome! :) Haha a woman after my own heart! Xxx Hi clekitty-I've seen it at Newtown but haven't been (yet!) but yes I've heard that they are fantastic! :D Hi Conor-Ooh kangaroo, now you don't see that very often! Sounds like it's well worth the long walk (or short drive ;) ) Hi Vanessa-Aww that's great! And they will have the same wonderful memories I bet! Hehe that's very cool indeed! I bet it does after a day on the water :) Hi Liv-Hehe yay another beetroot lover that asks for extra beetroot. It's really rare to come across and old skool burger place isn't it! And somehow the big chains don't quite fit that criteria do they :lol: Hi Lisa-Oh you are so lucky! :o It's fantastic, if only we could buy some a bit closer to home :) Hi Caro-Oh you're making me so hungry! :lol: Sometimes it's the simple but basic that will do! :D Hi Camilla-You're very welcome! :D Yep go the beetroot! ;) Hi Simon -You definitely should! :) Hi Maria-hehe good idea! :D Hi Betty- Yes bettroot! I love the beetroot, I think that gives it that nostalgic quality :) Hi Chefspiration-thanks! Yep I know, that and bacon :lol: Hi Juliana-I wish I could have one now! :P Hi Jacq-Yes the prices are definitely retro too :lol: Yes that pure umami flavour! Hi Val-Oh that Dagwood one sounds lovely! :) I agree sometimes things are worth sacrificing on other days :) Thankyou so much for reading, what a sweet thing to say! :) Hi Eve-They're great aren't they! Haha yes! Thanks so much xxx Hi Tara-I love it although it can slip out and that's no good! Aww thanks! There are some nice Brisbane bloggers that comment on here too :D Hi gliderguider-Ahh no I haven't! It's been a long time since I went to Melbourne. Haha ok thanks for the tip! ;) Hi Lulu-Yup I think BBQ sauce really brings out the beef flavour :) Haha I like your thinking! Always anticipating food here too! :D Hi Iron Chef Shellie-If I lived near there I'd buy a container every day :lol: Hi grace-Hehe really? I guess you guys do burgers differently! :) Haha yes it's good honest! Hi Sophie-It was really lovely :D Hi Ffichiban-It is! Can you see the size of it? :P Haha yes do it! Shock us all! :lol: Hi Christie-Absolutely! It was so good :) Hi nora-Cool! I get that way sometimes :D Hi Lex-It seems like everyone has a memory of Paul's! They had chicken burgers? I didn't see them on the menu? Hi Blond Duck -Oh no, try it, I promise you it's good! :) Hi Faith-It's an interesting combo but really nice! Yumm that sounds gorgeous! Hi Rilsta-Yes! Me too, there can't be too much of the bread (too dry). I don't know, I did my best :lol: Hi Shanks-It was indeed! Yes another beetroot fan ;) Hi Noodlehead-Oh how close!

If you ever come to WA you HAVE to go to Alfred's - it's been around since 1947 or some such and the soup is legendary but my fave are the fantastic burgers (lentil burger for me) and the thick, crunchy, soft-inside lightly salted chips. YUM!! Oh, well, the best bit really si when everyone sits around the open firepit out front and chats to strangers in the gloaming. =o) can't beat Alfred's but Paul's looks a close second!

One of my pet hates is when the burger patty and ingredients are too small and there is a lot of empty bread overhang! The first burger was HUGE! Did you guys manage to fit it into your mouth in one go?! I love it when the ingredients of a burger go right to the ends of the bread!

I never thought of pairing egg with a burger, I'll have to give that a try! My ideal burger is beef (flame-grilled), with caramelized onion, avocado, and tomato...perfection! ;) The works sound fantastic!
