Where to find Australia’s best burgers

AUSTRALIA’S 50 greatest burger joints have been named. Guess which Tassie griller came second.

WE’RE not pretending this is the first time anyone has published a list of top burger joints.

But we’ve never met a food listicle we haven’t liked, so we thought we’d share this new one with you. Because it’s Friday/the weekend and what better time for a cheeky burger?

User review app Yelp compiled the data to ascertain which burger spots were given the most enthusiastic thumbs up by members. And Tassie comes in at Number Two (and numbers 21, 28, 47 and 49!)

Here are the results. Prepare to drool.
