These days Maccas occasionally has a special "Aussie Burger" to relive the good old days before they came along and spoiled it.

Now clubs and some restaurants have revived those great burgers (at a price)

In the UK those hamburger chains were a leap forward, in Australia a step backwards.
In SA we have really ‘posh’ burgers at Roccomamas!
Actually, there’s lots of great burger takeaways e.g. Burger King
I can’t stand MacDonalds though- tastes like cardboard…

That’s so interesting Bakerman and you should know since you’re a Chef by profession

Sounds yummy Danny. I’ve never tried potato bread though.
On my bucket list is a visit to Grays Papaya in NYC on NYE.

That sounds like ours except for the mayo (here it would be Tomato or BBQ Sauce) and we get the choice of egg, beetroot and pineapple too. I have no idea what potato bread is.

I also like adding garlic but not everyone likes it. You can also chop up a chili if you're brave.

Wilkin & Son Tiptree ketchup is nice on top and some caramalised onions - these ones are officially for hot dogs but work just as well on a burger.

That sounds good AnnieS..Will try that one..Mine is similar but a tad too plain compared to yours...and the egg for binding is essential...

Re: Burgers : Chicken or Beef ?

My favorite is a burger with crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, finely chopped onion bits, between 2 slices of sourdough bread.
In my opinion, nothing beats a burger that has been cooked over an open flame.

Re: Burgers : Chicken or Beef ?

I don’t use any of the big chain burger places. I use Tesco SF or Spicy coated chicken breast fillets to make my own tower burgers. A lot more healthy and tasty. It’s not offen I have beef burgers even though I like them.

Re: Burgers : Chicken or Beef ?

We eat Costco’s 100% beef burgers. Sometimes we make fresh homemade chicken burgers but not often. My husband most often cooks the meat and I don’t eat a lot of it.

Made on a toasted bun with:

Mayo
Mustard
Ketchup
Pickles
Onion slice
Tomato
Cheese ( sometimes )
Hot peppers
Zuchinni relish
