Huxtaburger (Redfern)

Not a bad burger. Cross between American style and classic aussie takeaway beef patty. Salad was crisp and jalapeños and sauce was pretty good

I miss VIC and seeing as I won't be traveling interstate anytime soon, it was time to visit a place that originated from Melbourne. I tried Huxtaburger in the Melb CBD a few years ago and it was a solid 4. This time I tried their take on the double cheeseburger. It's a bit small for 14.50 but hey looks can be deceptive. After a few bites, the cheesy sauce was nice, but the melted cheese beefy combo just didn't hit any high notes. An average burger that could be more.

While I sat here eating this burger, I was trying to think of some funny Cheeses/Jesus pun. This burger was so freakin good the best I blurted out was "cheesus Christ this is a bloody good burger!" The cheese goes without saying, but everything else about it was too damn good. My only beef (heheh) is the amount of pickles in the burger. One too many for my liking. I added an onion ring to the burger, which, IMO just topped it off. One of the better burgers I've had in a while. Would tell Jesus about it.

The Huxtaburger beef has a nice char to it but the beef had too much gristle in it and just cheapened the whole experience. The cheese on this burger looked like a slice that'd been left in the fridge to die a tasteless, lonely, dehydrated death. The lettuce and tomato were fresh but... they're just lettuce and tomato. This was screaming out for any kind of sauce more interesting than mayo, ketchup and mustard. For $11 this isn't terrible value but Milk Bar by Cafe Ish is a 60 second walk away and amazing. Based solely on this burger, I wouldn't go back to Huxtaburger. It felt like an upmarket Maccas. When people describe Mary's as being 'just like Maccas', they should be sent here for perspective.

🐮🐮2x Beef patty 🧀🧀2x Cheese 🧀💦Cheese mayo 🔶Mustard 🔴Tomato sauce 🥒Pickles The beef had a nice amount of char to it but I crunched down on too many gristley bits - probably most noticeable because the rest of the burger was so creamy and smooth. The cheese mayo was nice and creamy, not too runny, and not overpowering. It had a subtle sweetness to it and a buttery edge which melted nicely into the soft bun. The regular cheese wasn't as noticeable over the cheese mayo but it glued the patties together. The pickles weren't that noticeable and I think this burger would've benefited from a little more. The mustard and tomato sauce were pretty run of the mill. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Burger Day, a day I dreamed of often as a nonchalant youth, but now get to fulfill many times a week arrived yet again to my rampant delight with a trip to HuxtaBurger with Sathyburger. Lend me an ear, if u will, and I shall regale you a tale of the upmost delight that belongs in the next Disney franchise. Deciding to tackle the Hunter, I was greeted with a succulent display once the Burgs arrived in front of me. The bun, somehow able to defy the laws of gravity to maintain stability and dexterity despite having to hold more juices from the sauces and eggs than Lisa Ann swallows on set in a month. Bacon, mountains of piggy goodness were piled on top of a pattie that oozed exuberance and style and who doesn't like a cheeky burst of moist fiery goodness from the chorizo spread generously throughout. This Burgs left me feeling like a heroin addicted prostitute who just finished a long hard night on the corner after she forgot her pack of wipes, discraced, full but always wanting more. I shall return for you once more, a promise uttered upon exiting the store that meant more than those three words that Gandalf shouted in the Mines of Moria to banish the fearsome Balrog, but ultimately led to his demise. Will my eternal grazing quest to find the best Burgs of them all eventually lead to my demise as well? Only time will tell... #Thegrazecontines
