We’re Angela & Kenny.

We’ve always been the kind of people who care about the little things.

The flavour.
The details.
Getting it just right.

We’ve spent years cooking, feeding people, talking about food and arguing over whether something needs a little more of this or a little less of that.

Sometimes we probably overthink it.

But that’s just us.

We don’t really know how to do things half-heartedly.

When we believe something can be better, we keep going until it is.

That’s the same attitude we’ve brought to Johnny Retro.

Because for us, great food has always been about more than just eating.

It’s about the people around the table.
The laughs.
The memories.
Those simple moments you remember.

And we wanted our sauces to be part of that.

Really great sauce, made from something we genuinely love.

That’s us.

And how we went from a food truck to Johnny Retro…

That’s another story.

Like and follow us for the next part of the story.

Back in 2016, we opened a retro food truck in Melbourne’s Inner West.

We weren’t trying to build a sauce company.

We were trying to make really great burgers.

But there was one problem…

We couldn’t find the sauces we wanted.

So we started making our own.

Sauces with proper flavour.
Sauces with character.
Sauces made for food not just to sit on a supermarket shelf.

Our Maple BBQ Sauce became part of the burger.

We’d love you to come along for the journey.
Follow Johnny Retro there’s a lot more to come.

Then it went on ribs.
Wings.
Chips.
Pretty much anything that needed really great sauce.

And then something happened.

People started asking:

“Can I buy this sauce?”

That question changed everything.

The food truck gave us the beginning.

The sauces gave us the idea.

And Johnny Retro is where that story is going next.

This is more than a new name.

It’s the next chapter.

And we’ve got a lot more of the story to tell.

WE KNOW GOOD FOOD. AND WE’VE GOT THE PROOF.

Top 10 in a Sydney burger competition. And honestly? We’ll take that as a pretty good sign that we know what we’re doing.

Before the sauces, before the bottles, before everything else there was the food.

We’ve spent years creating burgers, testing flavours and figuring out exactly what makes a great bite.

Because great food doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s about flavour.
It’s about balance.
It’s about texture.
And it’s about knowing when you’ve got something REALLY good.

That Top 10 result was a pretty good reminder that we’re doing something right. 🔥

And when you know great food, you know what belongs on it.

Don’t just watch. Get a taste.

Order yours now and see what all the fuss is about.

Four burgers. One thing they all have in common… 🍔

Really Great Sauce!

Our Maple BBQ Sauce is peppery, savoury and made with pure Canadian maple syrup the kind of sauce that makes you go back for another bite.

And yes… we put it on our burgers for a reason.

Want to taste what we mean? Come grab one.

You asked. We listened.

The Philly Cheeseburger is back on the menu.

Don’t miss it this time.

Our Maple Wh***ey Ribs — mopped generously with our sticky, smoky, ridiculously good mop sauce.

These ribs don’t wait around. That glossy, flavour-packed finish is the whole point.

They’re here. They’re limited. And when they’re gone… they’re gone.

Get your Maple Wh***ey Ribs before someone else does.

A great burger deserves more than an off-the-shelf sauce.

Every Maple Leaf Meats sauce is made by us from scratch, then loaded onto every burger we serve at Maple Leaf Meats. Add premium Wagyu beef, crispy grilled bacon and fresh ingredients, and you’ve got a burger that’s built differently.

We don’t follow the crowd. We make our own flavour.

Come and taste what house-made really means.

📍Drop by Maple Leaf Meats this weekend and discover why our sauce changes everything. Once you’ve tasted the difference, there’s no going back.

Every great burger deserves a sauce that adds flavour, not just sweetness. Our Maple BBQ Sauce is rich, peppery and savoury, the same sauce that’s become a favourite on our burgers.

From our food truck to your table.

Tag someone who’d demolish this burger.

Sticky. Smoky. Fall-off-the-bone goodness.

If ribs are your thing, we’ve got you covered. Pair them with chips and your favourite drink, and you’ve got a meal worth coming back for.

Ready to satisfy that craving?

See you at the food truck.
