Overview
We can hardly keep up with Josh Arthurs. He's been bouncing around Sydney's pubs and bringing burger joy to every boy and girl south of the bridge with his notoriously popular Burgers by Josh pop-ups — and he's on the move once again. Last night he wrapped up his residency at Darlinghurst's Hotel William one month ahead of schedule, and has announced that he'll be heading back to The Annandale Hotel for what might well be his last pop-up ever.
The residency will kick off on Wednesday, July 13, with Burgers by Josh returning to its spiritual home. The decision to head back to the Annandale pub was driven by the fact that the "atmosphere and venue" fits with the burger pop-up's brand, Arthurs told Concrete Playground.
The menu will feature four faves, including the the J Burger, the Primo, the Scorpio, and the Lisa Simpson. That won't be all though. In addition to the cult classics, there will also be a new #HacksbyJosh menu, which will feature crazy things like deep fried cheese patties, spicy Scorpio chicken fillets, smoked pulled pork and a heap of new sides.
If you're a BBJ fan, you best book in a burger date because this could be the last time those delicious burgs grace The Annandale's counter. Arthurs is looking for something more permanent. "This will be our last pop-up as I feel it's time to evolve my brand into its next stage — and that will be a permanent fixture," says Arthurs. "We are currently looking at sites all over Sydney."
