Melbourne's best burgers 2016: a burger a day
A burger a day keeps ... we're not sure. But if you can't go to enough patty parties, here's a seven-day schedule that should leave you satiated.
MONDAY: Crispy Bacon & Cheese @ at a Grill'd – $11.50; a simple but strong combination where the bacon stars.
TUESDAY: After Burner @ 8bit – $10.50; chilli sauce and jalapenos provide the kick, and get some potato gems on the side.
WEDNESDAY: The Rocky @ 1090 Burger – $17.50; a heavyweight just introduced in Richmond with a 330 gram Angus beef patty, triple cheese and more.
THURSDAY: Wagyu Hamburger @ Rockpool Bar & Grill – $24; a Crown fine-dining burger that sits up high and mighty.
FRIDAY: The Huxtaburger @ Huxtaburger – $9.50; the true test of a burger joint is not its fanciest creation, it's the simplest: the humble cheeseburger.
SATURDAY: EH Smashed Burger @ Kustom Burgers – $14; double everything, including a smashed flat patty, bacon, and American cheese.
SUNDAY: Rowdy Double Cheeseburger @ Easey's Burgers – $17; a wonderfully overloaded way to finish seven days of indulgence.
