Burgers are ridiculously popular her in Australia. They have gone through a major revolution over the last 3 or 4 years and I would argue they are up there with the best in the world

Spoiler

Not the point of this discussion people

Anyway, one of the most popular trends is for a burger joint to do their take on iconic burgers from chains by just tweaking the name. Some just do it exactly the same just with less processed, higher quality ingredients which I love and some just take it too far with burgers you can;t physically take a bite of unless you can unhinge your jaw.

My favourite has to be 2 Big Mac knock offs:

Big Stag which is just a big mac with the best patties from a joint called Foxhat burgers in Sydney.

My other favourite is the big Bird from a place called Chicken and Sons in Sydney. Basically a Big Mac that subs out the beef patties for fried chicken. I nearly died and went to Cholesterol heaven when I ate it but boy was it good. Currently I'm on an 8 week diet and this is the meal I am going to smash on the day I finish. They also do Bic Mac loaded fries with chunks of beefs and special sauce.

Does this happen anywhere else? I want to see the creations!

a chicken sandwich isnt a burg

Just came to say that both of those look fucking delicious.

Brb. Buying my plane ticket.

 

[Nickle]

Might as well just eat a loaf of bread if there's going to be so much bun.

That chicken sandwich looks delicious but honestly, how do you eat it?

a good bun can compliment a great burg

how do you eat burgers this tall ?

 

[mikeGFG]

That chicken burger is an atrocity.

And with that said, I would eat two of them.

It's a mouthful but JUST doable.

You can get a single patty, but why?

 

[daviyoung]

With a knife and fork of course

 

[CountAntonius]

I'd take it without the middle bun. Too much bread.

Surely there must be a connection. Those damned burgers are just too delicious!

 

[Fat4all]

It's fried

practically finger-food

shovel it in

 

[Dizzan]

No, squash the shit out of it, lick the sauce that oozes out and don;t put it down until you are done eating.

With both hands and a lot of napkins, in my experience.

Both burgers look great, especially the chicken.

 

[KaYotiX]

Too much bread but both look delicious otherwise.

 

[GraveRobberX]

This!

Too much bread

I'll take it like the Burger King Steakhouse Burger, Big Mac sucks, but the Grand Mac is very good, I just remove the extra bread, hell sometime no bun at all

 

[Fat4all]

y'all need to eat your middle buns

y'all need your grains

 

[Hazmat]

The scourge of the Big Mac must be contained. What monster looks at a burger and says "Let's throw another piece of bread in the middle?"

This homemade McRib looks Epic. I'm going to give it a crack this weekend.

Agreed. The judges should take away 15 points for that.

 

[Wag]

 

[GraveRobberX]

I'd do half and half

Top Half with 1 piece of meat, then bottom half, fling that middle soggy piece of bread away

Almost like flipping it like the bread is the fracker with a topping on it, this being a chicken patty on it

I do this most Big Burgers, I maybe weird here!

 

[Marky Mark]

Same way you eat regular fried chicken, with a knife and fork

 

[Psychoward]

I don't get the point of making sandwiches (the chicken one isn't a burger) that tall

It's just gonna fall apart before you can eat a quarter of it, I'd rather have two that are actually meant for eating with your hands instead of this memery

This thread is making me hungry. I could eat a burger for every meal and never get bored.

Does the Better Big Mac have special sauce that matches or exceeds the original?

 

[siddx]

As long as you stop putting fucking beets on your burgers, you criminals.

Biggest problem with most burgers being sold in these kinds of restaurants is they over complicate it. Too many ingredients take away from what makes a hamburger so great, which the burger itself. It's like when people throw a ton of sauce on a steak with onions and mushrooms and bacon bits and whatever other clever bullshit they can think of. All those things are great on their own, but they mute the flavor of the steak itself.

 

[Jimrpg]

Back in Melbourne for a couple of weeks from Thursday and will look to eat a few burgers for sure.

Andrew's Burgers is pretty nice but its far from where I live now. Charlie's in the Emporium is pretty good. And I want to try out Burger Project.

Grill'd if I can't find anything nearby.

The OP looks pretty amazing though.

Any recommendations in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne?

Australia: Come for the burgers, stay because the giant spiders ate you.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

My general philosophy with burgers is to keep them from becoming massively overloaded as the ones in OP are. I'm sure they're tasty, but I'd prefer to have two small burgers I could fit in my hands than have to eat one massive one that requires cutlery.

That chicken sandwich would be 100 times better if they toasted the bun instead of serving the middle and lower part soggy.

 

[Kyoufu]

Cut it in half and then turn it sideways and eat it like a taco.

 

[FUME5]

I'm looking at that burger thinking what a giant pain in the arse it would be to eat.

And damn do I want to eat it.

TDM, that's a bridge too far man.

Not a fan of overly large burgers that are a pain in the arse to eat, they do look nice though.

Here's a couple I've had up London this past weekend;

Bleecker Burger
