Overview
At the rate burger joints keep popping up across Brisbane, the meat-and-bun combo really should be the city's official meal. Hello Harry is the latest place keeping the dream alive, but they're not just another greasy spoon.
If their name sounds familiar, that might because you've already visited their Maroochydore or Caloundra stores. From the end of March, Brisbanites can head to Forest Lake to get their fix. Additional outlets in Milton and at Portside will open in May — and if all goes well, more will follow.
That might sound like an ambitious plan for a chain selling the city's favourite dish, but if anyone knows how to capitalize upon a food frenzy, it's Hello Harry's Tony Kelly and Scott Hoskins. They're the folks that also brought Donut Boyz down south, and that's worked out pretty well.
With a menu bursting with pulled pork, chickpea, barramundi and brisket burgers — plus Nutella, strawberry and salted caramel shakes — working their magic outside of the Sunshine Coast shouldn't be too hard. Here's hoping that the Fat Harry also pops up, because who doesn't want to feast on a maple-glazed doughnut filled with wagyu beef, American cheese, mayonnaise, tomato jam and pickles?
