Overview
What is it about burgers that makes them so damn irresistible? The sheen on the top of the bun? The drip of that special sauce? The cheese melting all over the patty? Whatever it is, it's got a real hold over Sydney — over the weekend, a crowd of 10,000 foodies flocked to burger festival Burgapalooza to eat the city's best buns. Ten vendors presented their most famous and Frankenstein-ish, creations — Ume Burger was there, Down N' Out was there, and vegan spot Soul Burger was there, too.
But if you weren't there, all is not lost. For this week only, a handful of the Burgapalooza vendors will be slinging their limited-edition creations across town. We're talking Soul Burger's vegan burger with a 'beast' patty and sriracha, a loaded fried chicken monster from Down N' Out, Ume Burger's Japanese-style cheeseburger and a dry-aged beef bun from Superior Burger.
They're available for delivery only through Menulog from now up until Sunday, September 30. If you start now, maybe you can fit them all in before the end of the week. Here's the list.
