We’re all about an entire day dedicated to the holy grail of all meals that is the glorious burger—so brace yourselves because this Friday 28 May is National Burger Day.
Burgers in Sydney have come a long way in the last few years. From perfected American-style greasy cheeseburgers to fancy hot stacks packed with 12-hour-brined tenderloins, basted in buffalo sauce and topped with blue cheese sauce and blue cheese crumble. Yes, Sydney has a lot to offer in the wonderful world of burgers.
