After attending the surfing at Bells Beach, I headed to the local, Bottle of Milk for lunch again. This time I went for something under the “new burger” section on their menu. Rather than go a beef burger and add chicken, I thought I would reverse the flavours and order a chicken burger, then add beef!

Burger : Southern Burger

Ingredients : Southern Fried Chicken, bacon, American cheese, grilled pineapple, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce and chipotle mayo

Added extra : Beef patty and extra cheese.

Patty (and chicken) : 8.6/10

Bun : 9.4/10

Sauces : 8.4/10

Ingredients : 7.8/10

X-Factor : 6.8/10

This burger tasted so good. The chicken had a nice, spicy crumbing to it and was cooked to perfection. The beef was really tasty too and as always, it was a perfect combination. The bacon, cheese, grilled pineapple and BBQ sauce were stand outs and the soft, buttermilk bun was one of the best I’ve had!

Caught up with a friend of mine recently and met at a little café called the “Son of Tucci” in Mount Waverley. Whilst probably not known for their burgers, I couldn’t resist.

Burger : Tucci Burger

Ingredients : Black Angus beef, Monterey Jack Cheese, tomato, salad, pickles, American mustard mayo, bacon

Added extra’s : egg

Patty : 6/10

Bun : 3/10

Sauces : 6/10

X-Factor : 6/10

As soon as it arrived, I thought, “gee that bun looks red?!” and sure enough the waitress confirmed that it was in fact a beetroot bun!!! OMG!!! Hold the Beetroot!! Don’t you think the menu should state that?? Hmmmmm. Anyway, I sucked it up and decided to get on with it.

The burger and ingredients were actually quite good, especially the beef, bacon and egg. And surprisingly, the bun didn’t kill me either!! That’s not to say that I will be asking for a beetroot bun going forward though.

Another day, another burger and this time I finally got back to one of my favourite places – Burgerlove! I wanted to try something different this time, so I went for one of their classics.

Patty : 8.5/10

Egg game was spot on and apart from being seriously slippery and saucey, this was a great tasting burger, with plenty of flavour. A “knock out” everytime, and well worth the visit!
