National Burger Day at Dandenong Market

Overview

If you've got a penchant for things in buns, prepare for the ultimate feasting situation, at Dandenong Market's National Burger Day celebrations, this Sunday, May 28.

For one delicious day, 13 of the market's vendors are turning burger mad, and will offer their own limited edition riffs on the classic two-hand feed. Running from the savoury to the sweet — and repping a host of different cuisines — these clever creations will take your burger obsession to the next level. You could find yourself cosying up with a goat curry burger, biting into a burger-inspired cupcake by Melina's Bakery & Larder, or perhaps tucking into Osaka Kitchen's teriyaki sushi burger, with sushi rice in place of the usual bread bun. Dandee Donuts will even be doing a Tim Tam burger, with a Tim Tam, jam sauce and cream inside a hot doughnut.

Those with real game can even take a seat on the official Burger Day Throne (actual thing) to try their luck against the monster Freak Force Burger. This is a four-patty whopper designed by Melbourne's burger Instagrammer Damian Edgan (@damoforce) and imagined by the market's own burger-slinging bosses, The Grill. Conquer that to score yourself a commemorative trophy, or go into the draw to win $500 in market vouchers every time you get your 'burger passport' stamped by a vendor on the day.
