Overview
Hello Kitty's imminent fate as a burger has been confirmed. Chur Burger's award-winning chef Warren Turnbull has joined the team heading up the kitchen at the highly-anticipated Hello Kitty Diner in Chatswood.
The first-announced 'local food hero' bringing their mad skills to the diner, Turnbull will be given the opportunity to interpret Hello Kitty according to his own personal style. That means burgers, people. Turnbull's Surry Hills laneway joint, Chur, still has lines out the door on a weekday, so this is a strong poach from the Diner team.
Turnbull will be pretty hands-on with the Diner's exclusive Sydney menu, kitchen set-up and staff training. His menu will include burgers (of course) and yet to be revealed snacks — we've been given 'Asian twist' as a clue here, with the promise of Korean fried chicken and classic American diner vibes. "Food is my way of telling a story and I’m excited to introduce people to a whole new Hello Kitty experience," says Turnbull. "The menu will take you on a journey that’s tasty, fun and full of surprises.”
Sydney's first Hello Kitty Diner revealed its opening date and location last week, and remains one of the year's most awaited Sydney openings. Watch this space for more details — we're hanging out for the menu.
