Works Burger - Pandemonium Cafe, Paddington

I ride past the Pandemonium Cafe on Given Tce, Paddo, every day on the way to work. I thought it was some kind of kids-play cafe at first due to its bright fun colouring and lettering on the sign. But as always a google search led me to the Pandemonium Menu featuring several varieties of Burgers. For some reason we got a bit lost on the way so after a bit of a walk we entered this friendly, funky cafe and set about our business of burger busting.
Pandemonium has many 1950`s style tables and funky colours - its a great spot in Paddo if you ever need to meet someone - there seems to be a nice view over houses on the valley out the back of the cafe also.
There were 5 members in our party - 2 of the lads are non-red meat types and opted for chicken panini`s. But the real men selected works burgers - Laurie opted for a no egg / plus avocado option. For drinks, instead of beer I opted for a fresh orange/pineapple juice - this was`nt intentional - the beer alcohol menu was a separate document we did'nt spot til after we`d ordered. However the juice was nice and only $3.50 - you can keep your boost juice.
The meals took a whiles to prepare when they came out they looked a treat.

I`d made a promise to myself to never go the Pineapple route again, but it really did`nt affect this works burger. The burger was constructed on a light floury triangular garlic buttered Panini. Tasted nice with the garlic butter but its floury coating made the burger quite messy to consume. Kierans bread disentegrated midway thru much tio his dismay.
The burger pattie itself was wonderful. Nice and fat, a pinch of extender detected but cooked nice to remain juicey, but not too juicey. The egg was good, bacon good, tomato and beetroot, and notice no lettuce but a smal lpinch of pea shoot sprouts. Grated cheese, fresh from the bag ( ie not freshly grated ) added the welcome cheesey mid note. The chips had some kind of crunchy batter and were really tasty. The waitress brought us out little tubs of tomato and bbq sauce to dip our chips in, which was thoughtful of her, the little darling.
All in all the burger filling aspects of this experience were top notch, but the panini encasement let this otherwise fine meal down. Your humble host gives a 7.5 !
