Decided to get my last two Fat Belly Jack’s burgers the day before the pop up close. (Fortunately they’ve announced that they’ll be opening up again on Freedom Day at the Marlborough Hotel in Newtown with the full blown menu!!). Got this one Extra Hot - which put my mouth on fire 🔥 . As always - stellar chicken burger. Check out the 173 other reviews I wrote about if you want the details :)

Decided to get the Blame Canada 🍁 back on my birthday as a dessert to the meal my girlfriend got me for dinner 😂 As always this one is a gem. I’ll spare you the details.

Decided to try Philly Up in Darlinghurst tonight now that my beloved Fat Belly Jack’s pop up is closed. Got the Lucy since it’s one of the higher rated burgers on the menu. Overall - it’s pretty average. The bun was trash and I’m not a fan of beetroot but the egg, bacon, and pineapple were all great. The beef is also pretty average and was a bit over cooked for my liking. I also got the Monterey Jack Philly Cheesesteak which is WAY better than the burger…which was expected since this is what this place specialises in.

**BIG CHIC ENERGY** Decided to give ol’ faithful a shot for lunch since the weekly special looked great. I read previous reviews from months ago how massive this burger is, and the people ain’t wrong! Apologies for the shit photo - this thing is so big that it barely fit in the box. I reckon it weighed over half a kilo with all the ingredients too. For that, it’s WELL worth the value at $24. Overall this one didn’t do it for me though. The thigh meat 🍗 wasn’t the best today and it fell apart within the first few bites. The mozz patty 🧀 in the middle adds good flavour but it’s almost as if BL wanted this to be some sort of maccas burger 🍔 with the BL sauce 💦, diced onion 🧅, shredded lettuce 🥬 , and pickles. Would have rather had a different sauce on it.

I beat my flatmate in the fantasy footy playoffs last week. The bet? Loser has to pay for the next round at FBJs! It made tonight’s double extra delish! This first burg was missing the heat that other Hot burgs have had in the past. For that reason, I had to rate it just below average. Fortunately the second one made up for it. The second burg provided the exact heat that I was looking for! Plus it had a bigger slab of meat. Highly recommend this pop-up. Just wish it was a bit more consistent with the heat levels.

Caught up with a good mate last weekend and went for a coastal walk for a proper catch up. After working up a desire for a good feed, it was a no-brainer to stop by FBJs since it was so close to us. Got myself the normal Hot Chicken Burger. Another solid gem. Juicy white meat and the right amount of heat and crispiness. Pickles and lettuce on point. You know how I feel about these burgers by now…get ‘em if if they’re in your 5km radius.
