Hank Marvin's Big Burger Biannual III

Overview

Burgers. Giver of life. Mana from heaven. We're pretty keen on this most glorious of food groups — and given how many new burger joints we've seen pop up around town, it seems like you are too. Hell, Hank Marvin Market's last two Burger Biannuals drew more than 6000  and 7000 hungry punters respectively. So, really, it's little wonder they're gearing up for round three.

Firing up from 11am on the Thursday, September 28 and Friday, September 29 of the AFL Grand Final long weekend, the event will feature more than a dozen of Melbourne's best burg merchants, including Mr Burger, Gorilla Grill, Sliders on Tyres, St Kilda Burger Bar and Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks. There'll also be vegan and vegetarian options. Burgers truly are for everybody.

Assuming you have room for dessert, you'll also have the run of a number of sweet options from the likes of Billy Van Creamery, Whoopies Cookies and Pop-Up Crepes, and Collingwood's Stomping Ground will be pouring beers. Point is, you probably won't need to eat for the rest of the week.

After its St Kilda stint, the Big Burger Biannual will hit the road to visit Watergardens, Ballarat, Wodonga and Shepparton before the end of the year.
