Burgies of Melby

2018 is here and Chloe and I wasted no time getting down to the business of burgies. I've neglected the eastern suburbs so far on this blog so to make amends, we went to Eastland to visit the famous Huxtaburger. My first burgy of the year was the Theo. It packs double beef, double cheese, bacon, barbecue sauce, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickles. It's a quality burgy that's also quite filling, as you'd hope. The barbecue sauce isn't very prominent though, losing out to the mustard in the battle for the tastebuds. This prevents the burgy from being too sweet, as can sometimes happen with burgies that come with barbecue sauce. Chloe had the Cheesus, which also packs double beef and double cheese. Cheesy mayo, mustard, tomato sauce and pickles round it out. She described the mustard as cutting through the richness of the cheese, allowing the burgy to be cheesy without being overwhelmingly cheesy.  We both ordered onion rings to complement our burgie...

Today's post is a little different. As Hank Marvin Market's Big Burger Biannual was in town, Chloe, Madi and I found ourselves skimming our eyes over a selection of food trucks offering their best burgies rather than going to a restaurant. Since it's food truck season, I decided it would be a good opportunity to test out what a couple of these burgy joints on wheels have to offer. On a hot, dry day under the sun, foodies and families alike came down to check out the Big Burger Biannual at Watergardens Town Centre, Taylors Lakes. There were plenty of trucks to choose from, with most of them offering at least one burger of some sort. After doing a lap of the venue, we returned to Ron's Handburger, where we all ordered the Cheesy Bacon. The Cheesy Bacon, as you would expect, is very cheesy. Apart from melted cheese, this burger packs some cheese sauce and a nice, thick cut of bacon to go with the beef, lettuce, tomato, pickle, special house sauce and toasted brioch...

I was in Sunbury and having just finished watching Justice League with Chloe and her sister, Madi, we found ourselves experiencing various states of hunger. As I was the hungriest, I was very keen to make good on our plans of catching a movie and grabbing some burgers afterwards so we went down to 107 Oshanassy Street to fill the holes in our stomachs. It was cold and raining, and while the wrath of Mother Nature wasn't upon us like the Bureau of Meteorology said it would be, the weather was unpleasant enough to drive us inside. While discussing the greatness of Aquaman, I ordered The Classic with a side of regular beer-battered fries and barbecue dipping sauce. Chloe ordered the Dirty Fries and Madi ordered a serve of large fries and B2B dipping sauce. The Classic contains beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mustard and B2B sauce. The sauce and mustard drip from the burger and combine to add a tangy taste to the freshness of the lettuce and tomato. The onion adds a pinch...
