If you know your burgers, you've probably heard of Sydney's Bar Luca (and their takeaway spinoff BL Burgers). You probably know to avoid their Instagram when you're hungry because their insane burger creations simultaneously fill you with food lust and terror. But, mostly, burger-loving Melburnians avoid Bar Luca because our love is unrequited as they have yet to open an outpost on our turf. But no more! They'll be popping up for three heart-stopping days in Melbourne, giving us all a chance to fall in love with their famous burgs and have our heart broken (or ruined by cholesterol) all in one weekend.
After an appearance at the Melbourne Burger Invitational at Welcome to Thornbury on Thursday, April 6, the Sydney burger masters — helmed by husband and wife team James and Sarah Robbins — will be getting cosy at South Wharf's Boatbuilders Yard for three afternoons, from April 7–9.
So. You've been warned. Start training to prepare yourself for their signature Blame Canada, which puts beef patty, maple-glazed streaky bacon, American cheese and poutine (yes, poutine) between a bun — the burger voted "most" by almost everyone in Australia.
