Overview
Three chefs with serious culinary pedigrees have turned their attention to the mighty burger (as is the current casual trend). And, as of 5pm this afternoon, you'll be able to get your mouth around their creations (just), when Burger Head opens in Penrith.
The powerhouse trio is made up of Richard Borg (ex-Momofuku Seiobo), Josh DeLuca (ex-Quay) and Timothy Rosenstrauss. They got to know one another while working at the now-closed Master and decided to team up for a more casual venture.
On-the-pulse Penrith foodies had a chance to preview the menu on December 14, thanks to a pop-up at the Aussie Night Markets. Burger Head showcased their dedication to house-made ingredients — from secret sauces and pickles to homemade beef patties. Offerings included a $10 cheeseburger (beef pattie, house-made secret sauce, house-made pickles, American cheese, toasted milk bun), a fried chicken burger, puffed pork ($5) and for vegos, a shroom and kale burger.
Drinks-wise, you can expect shakes and soft drinks, with a rather delicious-sounding roasted white chocolate milkshake having appeared at the pop-up. Down the track, the boys are planning on getting a liquor licence, which will bring you cocktails, beers and wines.
Find Burgerhead at Shop 17, 98 Henry Street, Penrith. It opens at 5pm on Friday, January 6.
