Eleven of Melbourne and Sydney's most popular restaurants are paying collective homage to one of the world's most iconic menu items this July and August: the burger. From classic cheeseburgers to teriyaki chicken, catch these 22 exclusive menu items for just $22 while the Burger Collective special lasts. Lucas Collective is giving guests a reason to head out for a leisurely lunch, any day of the week, with its limited-edition burger specials. Available across its always bustling venues, the Burger Collective sees Lucas Collective chefs create their take on a classic cheeseburger and their ultimate burger creation, showcasing the distinctive flavours and influences each restaurant is known and loved for. The range of creative cheeseburgers includes ingredients of all sorts, from scarmorza and provolone to sriracha mayo and chilli cabbage to achara pickles and spicy banana ketchup. As for the chef's ultimate burger creations, at Grill Americano, grab a Piccante Fish Burger, which has landed in Melbourne from the Sydney venue, and at Baby Pizza, snag a Chicken Caesar Burger with chicken cotoletta and pancetta. At Yakimono, chicken karaage is paired with yuzu and togarashi slaw, and at Chin Chin, find a Rendang Curry Burger with sesame chilli mayo. On offer alongside the $22 burgers are a range of venue-specific cocktails for just $15. At Maison Bâtard, find a Dirty Bâtard Martini, and at Hawker Hall sample a Dragonfruit Margarita. The Burger Collective is available seven days a week at lunch across all Lucas Collective venues until the end of August. Images: Supplied. Like what you see?
