Beef Burger with Deep Fried Bacon and Thousand Island Dressing
Burgers are on every pub and club menu throughout Australia and New Zealand, the difference here is the homemade patty using a good quality cut of meat and passing through the mincer just once to deliver a steak like flavour when cooked. Add American cheddar, deep fried bacon and Thousand Island dressing all on a grilled brioche bun, this will have your customers coming back for more.
