New York Burger, Global Burgers, Brisbane City

Global Burgers is a new style gourmet burger chain just opened in Brisbane city. They offer burgers named different cities of the world with different toppings. Being a traditionalist i opted for a New York burger - topside beef, tomato relish, onion rings, grilled cheese, tomato, shredded lettuce and mayo. I was pleased with the option for white or wholemeal rolls ( I opted for wholemeal ) and also the fact that they server beer. The burger was 9.95, beer was about $5 so a pretty sweet deal right across the road from the Casino.


The burgers come on big white platters. There was quite a bit of salad amplitude, this time caused by 3/4 inch thick onion rounds. When I saw the menu I thought there were onion rings as an additonal side but in reality it was fat cut onion rings as burger filling. These rings made the burger much higher than it needed to be, making the burger hard to manouver and sink you teeth into.



The fat cheese slices were awesome, and the bread was moist and soft ( I know it does`nt look like that ). The addition of mayonnaise and iceberg lettuce made the burger taste hungry jack whoppery. The pattie also could`ve been at least half as thick again IMHO.

Overall a tasty burger, good value, and let down by the thick onion rings, patie that could`ve been fatter, iceberg lettuce and a slight excess of relish. However, the cheese, roll, presentation and beer! made this burger very enjoyable and worthy of its gourmet status. 8/10

I tried them awhile back and was a bit suspicious when my burger nearly beat me back to my seat after paying for it. Not so sure you can cook a burger that fast. Try that burger pace in the Gabba, Purple Gorilla they are massive and the taste is off the hook.
