OLDEST RESTAURANT IN THE DANDENONGS NOW FINE-DINING BEAUTY
Huxtaburger
Sondra is the latest addition to the Huxtaburger clan and this burger named after the eldest daughter of the family is bursting with green goodness.
Though namechecking the ‘80s this burger is totally 2016, made up of a kale, quinoa and zucchini patty that’s then teamed with hummus, pickled onion, beetroot, tomato and lettuce ($12.50).
Royal Stacks
Dani Zeini’s burgers have a growing fanbase, with a Sydney Royal Stacks store recently joining his CBD and Brunswick grills.
And while the Miss Elizabeth — with truffled mayo and Swiss cheese on beef patty — is Zeini’s favourite child, he still whips up a mean meat-free number.
With its tasty chickpea patty, pickles, American cheddar and toasted bun, the Queen Bee rules in right royal fashion.
It’s perfect for a reign-y day.
HOW MUCH OF THAT FLAVOUR IS REAL? FAVE FOODS PUT TO THE TEST
STKBB
It’s the pun that’s still a whole lot of fun, so get your laughing gear around Mr Fun Guy on meat-free Monday (or any day, really) at St Kilda Burger Bar.
A thick portobello mushroom (aha, get it) gets slathered in gruyere melted stringy soft.
A squirt of herb mayo and peppery rocket between two good buns finishes this burger sure to make you smile ($10.50).
Burger Project
Neil Perry’s burgification of the ‘burbs continues.
His Burger Project is one of seven big-name tenants taking over the dining terrace at the new-look Chadstone, which opens its doors after a $660 million expansion on Thursday.
While meat-eaters are treated to Perry’s first class patties made from Cape Grim chuck and brisket, those skipping the meat are in for a treat with the Magic Mushroom ($10.50).
Crunchy crumbed confit mushroom gets the secret sauce treatment — plus onion, pickles, cheese and tomato — that makes Project burgers such a hit.
Was bizarre shooting suicide pact or murder?
Two men walked into a Melbourne photography studio one afternoon in 1872 to pose with their pistols in a bizarre series of pictures. Hours later a gunshot rang out in nearby Treasury Gardens and their true intentions became clear.
