XXL Burger, The Broadway Hotel

Big Burger Nirvana found in inner city Brisbane!! The Broadway Hotel at Wooloongabba has a new Burger Bar kind of restaurant along with a cook your own steak menu. The Burger Menu is called 'Oh! Burger It!' and the XXL Burger with double giant wagyu patties would have to be the star. This burger is a giant, so only attempt it if you are hungry.

Burger Porn Deluxe!!

This is the burger that rekindled my desire to blog burgers. Ive been trying to lose a bit of gut, with some success, hence the lack of burgerventures documented lately.
Anyways - Great burger, awesome pattie - obviously too big to fit in your mouth but topped with bbq hickory sauce, well cooked bacon, proper tasty cheesy and some gourmet lettucey mix.

Fantastic! 9/10 and yes I ate it all.

Double Lean Beef Burger - Macca's

Ahh yes, it can be done - if you were ever curious, or wanted a guilt free double beef burger experience - maccas can do a double lean beef burger. The problem with lean beef burgers is that the patties taste microwaved, indeed the entire burger has a plasticy sensation to it - right down to the exactly 3 strategically placed genetically modified baby spinich leaves. The tangy sauce is good though. 6/10

Purple Gorilla Burger, Purple Gorilla Wooloongabba

Back after a long spell I thought i`d catch up on a couple of burgers a ate before my break, until i ate the Broadway XXL i`ll review shortly. I moved to wooloongabba on a contract job after getting sacked by RPData. Purple Gorilla had recently opened up at Gabba Central Apartments and of course looked interesting enough to warrant a sampling of their wares

Taking the reviewers option - I ordered the prize purple gorilla burger - billed as : Prime Beef Pattie, Bacon, Mamma`s Relish, tasty cheese, tomato, beetroot salsa, dill pickle, baby rocket mix and aioli - all for $10.90.

Here is the burger as presented


A close up - i was keen on tasting the beetroot salsa but as you can see from this picture theres barely a smidge on there.


Midway, a flat, lettuce and bready affair
Beetroot on burgers is an Australian tradition ( if you are reading from overseas ). The beetroot salsa was an interesting take, but on this particular day the salsa, aioli and relish were a bit light on, rendering the burger a bit dry. I ate this about 6 months ago - so with a bit of hindsight advantage i`ll rate the burger 7.5 - Worthy of a try and i feel a bit sorry for the store for its terrible location.
