Beef & Bacon Burger, Ascot Provisions

Jarrod recommended I try the burger from Ascot Provisions located on Racecourse Rd, Ascot. Seemed like a perfect thursday lunch adventure, and Mark V was keen for a lime milkshake, so we ventured out to try the burger.
The Beef and Bacon Burger is served with onion jam, chips and salad for $16.50. It seemed like it took ages for our food to come out, there were steak sandwiches flying past to tables that sat down well after we did but anywaym the burger hunger greweth until my plate arrived like so -


.A split top burger on turkish bread, heaps of bacon, onion jam relishy stuff, some seasoned mayo, tomato, spinach leaves, cucumber and a fat rissole style burger pattie. The pattie is hard to see underneath everything else.

This burger was extremely hard to pick up. Cucumber does not assist burger cohesion, and i ended up with most of the salad fallen out on my plate. The burger also dripped copius juice so much so that once i had picked it up I could`nt place it back down on the plate due to the pool of juice.

The pattie was the highlight of this experience - a rissole style pattie, well seasoned and cooked. Provisions were also generous with their bacon, and this was also well cooked and not too fatty.
However there was no relishor sauce besides the mayo and onion jam, I could`ve done with some. A slice of cheese from provisions fridge could also have set the burger off. But thats the benefit of hindsight i suppose. Otherwise a medium satisfying experience, top pattie, poor construction. 7/10
