Burgers by Josh Upper Deck

Most of our training for the Lashings challenge involves eating burgers. So that's what we decided to do tonight for the second night in a row. As we've mentioned before, Josh of Burgers by Josh fame has become a bit of a burger legend around Sydney. His massive Double Deluxe has made burger lovers salivate at the very sight of it. And since we loved Josh's so much on Sayurday, we thought we'd venture out to The Upper Deck at Greenwood Plaza for Burgers by Josh round 2.

The burgers come with the following ingredients-

THE DOUBLE DELUXE

Double Premium Wagyu
Double American cheese
Twice fried Hash brown
Westmont pickles
Spanish onions
Milk sesame seed buns
Mustard
Ketchup

We were happy to see Josh working hard in the kitchen to make our dinner. These burgers looked SO good upon arrival. We were happy to see pickles and onions peaking out of our burgers. We thought we'd receive our free bacon for fatties but alas, it was no where to be seen.

Biting into these burgers was very satisfying. The buns were great, the American cheese was melted just right, and the double patty very satisfying.

There were a few salient points however that need to be made. The hash brown, whilst filling, didn't add anything to this burger. It didn't contribute to the taste, but made the burger more clumsy to hold. The patties were also not as juicy as we would have liked. Josh's burgers on Saturday smashed it with the taste and juiciness factor. Saturday’s pop up was dripping with flavour and fat, but these burgers just didn't have the same standard that Josh is capable of. We also want to say- a little more onion and pickles please!

Don’t get us wrong- we loved Saturday’s pop up with the char grilled flavours and juiciness, but last night’s didn’t smash it.

We are in fine form for the burger challenge... We nailed these burgers in under 5 minutes. We left satisfied, but improvements are needed in this Sydney burger war we are in.
