Wowee what an absolute banger! Crumpled beef patties that fall apart in all the right places, I ate around the burger for those crispy edges. Bacon was A-grade, the cheese melt was spot-on and the sauce was actually doing it's thing, tangy BBQ sauce for those sausage sizzle vibes. All held together nicely with a nice, soft milk-bun.

I had a school holidays workshop in Gordon Library so I was curious to try em. A chicken shop where most customers were going for their roast chicken. I wonder how their burgers fared... I avoided the beef and went for the simple chicken schnitzel burger. The fine line between a schnitzel sandwich/roll and burger were blurred. Pineapple was warm (wish it was grilled) bacon was okay, and the schnitzel had potential, should have got a double cos it was all-over in a flash.

I just needed a double to get a beefy hit and wowee did this deliver. A premium double quarter-pounder with the classic cheese melt and delicious beef patties to make this zing.

Hungry Monkey retains its crown as the best burger joint in Kiama. It was swamped by Easter Monday tourists but it still delivered the goods, despite the half an hour wait. Onion rings were nice, bacon could have been better, the cheese-melt was decent and the patty, cooked medium (tad pink-ish though) so it goes down a treat. Holds up well til the end

Ume Burger impresses me with its fresh, clean taste. Their beef patty shines through with crispy edges galore. I probably needed a double this time haha. Simple but gets the job done. I have become a bun snob cos once again I feel like a better bun may have raised the score a bit.

One more burger in Adelaide :-) Burger Republic has a new menu I think, and this is their classic cheeseburger. The patty is smashed and quite nice. Yet the toppings let it down a bit, the bun needs work, it's too dense and there's a little sloppiness of a 'cafe-burger' in terms of placement...but the patty is there like, overworked to make this burger a hit. I need to try a double or another kind of burger where the beef shines.

No visit to Adelaide is complete with Nordburgers, still going strong after all these years. I tried their tropical burger, The Big Kahuna. The beef smashed patty was a delight, and the bacon and pineapple did its thing. A tad too much lettuce and the buns were cold. If they were a tad toasted or crusted, this would have rated higher. Another solid burger, and delicious tator tots hehe

I'm back in Adelaide, hopped on a plane last night for the first time in a year. So I'm back at Bread and Bone, a classy burger joint. At 28 bucks, it better be premium and to an extent, it is. 300g patty is cooked nicely like a steakhouse burger should be, with that chargrilled goodness. However, it lacks the zing that a thin smashed patty can only provide, the lack of cheese-melt is also a minus. The giant onion rings are crispy, but they almost over-take the poor patty haha. Not bad, but their B and B burger is still superior in my books.
