THE BEARDED 2

Went for a double and was a tad disappointed 😔 way over cooked and under sauced. Not the usual Norma’s I’m used to. I feel like the patties where left way to long on the flat top that’s for sure. 👌🏼🍔

Like a Nun. Dirtier then you'd expect but for the most part same as usual.

It's a pretty perfect burger. Not going to lie, if this is what you base your smashed patties off, every other smashed patty will be sub par. This is good, the only thing I feel was letting it down today was the bacon. Wasn't crispy enough, a little rubbery. But, everything compliments superbly, like I've never had every component of a burger compliment everything else so well. So happy 😁

This was a perfectly balanced burger. Bun was great, patty was fantastic and sauce was delicious

There was a time when I would relentlessly hunt out the black and yellow van. Having up to up to two or more a week. It has been 13 weeks since my last bearded. I was toying with going for a possible unicorn at Mister Gee’s or Norma’s at Peakhurst night market. I’m so glad I did. Just look at the charred crust and when have you had a charr which crunches under teeth! Wow 😲! It was that good. The centre was not pink as I like but still juicy. Loved it! Could have done with a touch more bearded sauce. May have to get back on the hunt for the black and yellow van!🥶

I first had Norma’s at Park Feast last year and man was that burger good. So of course I knew my choice at this years event. Unfortunately this time it just didn’t live up to my expectations. The only redeeming quality of the burger was of course the maple bacon. Otherwise the bun was on the dry side, and the patty, although well smashed, had lost its moisture and ended up being mostly dry. I thought maybe the cheese could help save the burger but it just wasn’t enough. Could have also used a pickle or two more to help provide some juicy goodness.

This burger was the highlight of the Park Feast festival in Bella Vista. The simple make up yet perfect flavours were delicious and cooked to perfection. The maple bacon was spot on the right balance of sweet and bacony. I did go in for the triple patty I’d been chasing on Instagram but skimped out on the single. Definitely worth it. Will be back for another.

Very quick service time, show stopper, everyone kept asking me where I got it from. The added chicken turns it to a monster!
