Picture this: a full moon night. The three of us have driven a distance and frost blankets the car. Shivering as we alight the car we pull our coats tightly around us. Dave whispers “I’m a bit scared and a bit excited.” We walk through the doors and see the “cage” to our right. Blood [...]

Charlie & Co. Burgers, Sydney

The calm after the storm… Never underestimate the popularity of a burger. And when I arrive at Charlie & Co in the brand new Westfield in the Sydney CBD for lunch with Nic and Amy, I certainly should not have when I see the queues. It seems I am here along with many of the [...]

“I think a lot of people come here after the gym” Dillon says and we look around. Well, if I were to sweat it off at the gym I might reward myself with a burger. Mr NQN, my buddy Christie and her husband Dillon and I are at the Grill’d in Darlinghurst. Mr NQN has [...]

I recently asked a question of my readers that read “have you ever toyed with or have become a vegetarian or vegan?” and I was amused to read that a couple of readers had but that a cheeseburger was the item that they clearly remembered had broken their resolve. It’s understandable really – a good [...]

The Counter Burger, Crows Nest (and the 450g burger)

Not Quite Nigella — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:00:56 +0000

**Counter Burger is now closed** If you’re in any doubt that the American chain The Counter burger has come to town, take a peek at the menu. For the first thing that my eyes rest upon is a Peanut Butter Shake. If that isn’t American I don’t know what is. Today we’re having lunch at [...]

BenBry Burgers, Manly

Not Quite Nigella — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:00:37 +0000

“The best burgers in Sydney you say?” I ask my friend. “Yes” she replies definitively. Granted she has yet to try the Plan B Wagyu burger but she insists that while Plan B’s is no doubt good, BenBry’s burgers are enormous, juicy and filling. From the dreamy look on her face, I’m almost convinced so [...]

Bite Me Burger Co. at Paddington

Not Quite Nigella — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:00:11 +0000

It’s a cold, wintry night that brings us to Bite Me Burger Company, and one in which we’re pressed for time having spent the half half hour looking for a park in Paddington. Ever since the Wagyu burger at Plan B, I’ve been trying to find other Wagyu burgers to try. Call it my latest [...]

Plan B by Bécasse

Would you believe me, Dear Reader, when I told you that the humble sausage roll had broken the $7 price barrier? You might be even more surprised when I tell you that at $7 it was worth every lip smackin’, finger lickin’, slowly savoured bite. The sausage roll in question is from Justin North’s “Plan [...]
