OI YOU F**K! STOP AND LISTEN TO THIS!!
DASHBOARD BURGER TIME!!
A lot of my reviews tend to be near the city, west or South. Theres reason for that, and that reason is not that I don't want to travel for buyers, i'll happily drive 45 mins for a burger if I hear it's good. Its that the east and north I'm sorry to say have been totally sh*te when it comes to burgers. I'm sure there's plenty that disagree but if we're being honest, they don't know what they're talking about...I do.
Let's start with some history. This page STARTED in the east! Back in the day when Nordburger emerged in Norwood, a little buddy told me about it and we went to have a geez. I was blown away by how good it was! Bloody made me rethink every burger I'd ever eaten!! I felt obliged to tell people about this place and BBIA was born. Since that time many moons ago, dozens of burger joints have popped up and Nordburger in my opinion has gone to the dumps (might have something to do with every kitchen being run by 16 yr olds).
Also Back in the day out East where yours truly spent his formative years, there was a tiny little shop on magill rd called Burger Foundry. This place was awesome but it took 45 mins to get a burger because it was one guy making everything from scratch and a line of people 10 long waiting. It was one of original reviews but sadly like Nordburger as they got more popular, they expanded and the burger quality like your mum, dropped faster than a starving man on Xmas ham. So they also got one of my first bad reviews.
Flash forward I'm gonna say almost 8 years. I'm working out East and I decide...f**k it, I'm a fair man. Let's give the foundry another whirl.. and you know what?... I did NOT suck!
This is a genuinely delicious and well put together burger. Meet the AUSSIE BEERENBURGER. It has a large beef patty, bacon, egg, beetroot, tomato, mesculin greens, cheddar cheese, aioli and beerenburg relish finished on a GREAT white bun that's perfect sized, dense for the mess and tastes great.
Now I'm not usually for "aussie" style, or as I call them "fish and chip" burgers and y'all know I want those pickles, but this place proves that I can be done well with fresh ingredients.
The meat had a bit too much going on and could be improved but otherwise this is as good a burger as I've had in the last 6 months. Well done to an Adelaide oldy for lifting there game. If your in the eastern suburbs (I'm not sure about their Henley beach rd shop) make sure to go give them a go cos as far as I'm concerned there f**k all else around.
