Big Mouth

11/9/19 This was one of those situations where being new to Melbourne, I didn’t really know anything about this place and picked my lunch from a glance at the menu. My appetite did not match the behemoth I was given. My sense is that Three One 2 One, while whipping up objectively tasty food, is focussed on the OTT burgers and shakes like a 50SixOne or a Milky Lane (obligatory #fuckmilkylane ), where everything is Instragrammable (check out their IG or hashtags as an example - it’s mostly just white girls taking photos with their middle-school art installation of a milkshake). I’m not really all about that, and I struggled to get through such a rich and messy burger having also ordered loaded fries. The ingredients were well prepared and the service was fine - the staff were lovely, and it’s still a good burger. However, it’s just probably a place I’m less likely to go regularly as it seems more “form over function” / “quantity over quality” than I normally prefer. Each to their own however.

Devoured this bad boy yesterday and it was very tasty. Including double bed jalapeno mac and cheese, potato gems, bacon and some kind of potato strip. This burger really required a big mouth to finish it the jalapeno mac and cheese was a highlight something I might try to replicate at home.

The big mouth .. once you've had black you'll never go back

🚩🚩 @theburgercollectiveau X @threeone2one 🚩🚩 🍔 BIG MOUTH: beef, American cheese, bacon, chipotle mayo, potato gems, loose mac and cheese on a red brioche bun 🍔 . 💙 Frank and his shakes are always epic here, but TBC users believe it or not actually get a free beer! I went with a recent special, the big mouth, and although I'm extremely pessimistic about red buns, the flavours in this were alright. Went well with the 'Kiss me softly' shake I'd ordered 💙

Holy fuck, this was like Jesus came down and delivered me a package 📦 Oozing in mac and cheese, double patty's, shitloads of bacon 🥓 and a meal and a half. When you're starving for an urg and this thing comes out, you count your chickens 🐔. Cheese, so much cheese! Also gotta praise the purple bun, it's got a slight beetroot flavour to it that you can actually taste in between the monstrosity that I called lunch and maybe dinner. Over the next six months I'm going to work to get this mess off my hands but shit me over the river it was worth it.
