The Problem With Gourmet Burgers? Delivery Challenges

Soul Burger, 49 Perouse Road, Randwick

Soul Burger is spearheading the global movement towards plant-based eating.

Using soy and plant-based proteins as substitutes for meat, their vegan burger patties make it easier for locals to meet their daily five veg intake.

The vegan barbecue bacon burger may look like the real deal, but it’s considerably lower in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol in comparison to a burger with meat.

Belfield on Botany, Shop 1/797 Botany Road, Rosebery

Belfield on Botany’s trademark Belfield burger has an ingredient that would surprise any burger aficionado — vegemite mayo!

Vegemite is polarising at the best of times, but when the Aussie spread is blended with their house mayo, it makes for a delicious condiment on a cheesy beef patty.

Also turning heads at Belfield on Botany is the pork burger, with peanut butter, a pork patty, kimchi, green apple and mayo.

Ribs and Burgers, Westfield Eastgardens (152 Bunnerong Road, Eastgardens)

If your after a meatier burger, the wagyu range at Ribs and Burgers is a great option.

Using the finest Japanese wagyu, the wagyu original, wagyu big cheese and wagyu bacon and cheddar burgers all melt in your mouth as a result of the beef’s marbled texture.

If a chicken burger is more your speed though, the southern chicken burger’s crispy chicken breast and chipotle-pink sauce is definitely something to sink your teeth into.

Big Bunz, 1207 Anzac Parade, Matraville

Self-taught cook Frank Michalopolous, who owns Big Bunz with his wife Melina, opened the Matraville burger joint after customers would walk into his shop and ask for his special burgers that weren’t on the menu.

What’s kept customers returning for more is Frank’s big bunz sauce, which takes pride of place on the Big Bunz Burger alongside a double beef patty, double cheese, double bacon, onion rings and pickles.
