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.
