The grass is greener at Burger Patch


Do you find yourself asking 'where can I find a good burger in Chatswood?' Thankfully, there is a little hidden gem of a burger joint that is ready to serve your burger cravings. 



Even with the help of google maps, we got lost finding this place, and almost settled on some ramen instead. But eventually we found this little new burger joint tucked away from the busyness of city life.


The menu has a few great burgers on offer, but the special caught our attention. The Kokraken burger, celebrates the Korean roots of its creator.


It was comforting to see a grill with actual flames that we knew would lick our patties, coating them with smoky flavoured deliciousness. We ordered the Kokraken and the Good American.


When the burgers came, we were not disappointed. The first thing we noticed about these burgers was the size of the meat patties. That's 160g beef patty right there. And yes, that flame grill makes a huge difference. A quick sample of the meat patty revealed a smoky flavour.


It would be very hard to improve this burger. The patties were cooked to perfection, with great quality meat. As we've said before, a hamburger should be all about the meat, and it was certainly the case at Burger Patch. The flavour of this meat had just the right balance of smokiness and char grilled flavours, but not so much that it took control of the meat.


 
There was just the right amount of pickle and onion to crunch through on each bite, and to cute through the juices of the meat patty. The cheese was literally dripping off these burgers as we devoured them.

And the milk buns were perfect- soft and warm, fresh and fluffy.

The sauces on the Good American were a little too mustard dominated. But that's OK- tomato sauce is readily available to squirt more onto your burger if you want.


The Kokraken burger comes with bacon and squid jam, which was surprisingly sweet, and blended in with the burger well, along with the sweet mayo and sweet McClures pickles. The combination of sweetness and meaty sauciness was on point. This burger creation only lasts for 2 weeks, and we're sure we'll be back to sample another.


The bonus touches at Burger Patch are also worth noticing. Towards the end of your meal, you'll be delivered a tiny circular roll of material. Just add water and voilà!  It will expand before your eyes into a wet hand towel so you can wash off all those lingering burger juices from your fingers. You're going to need that too, because there's plenty of sauce leftover afterwards from the juiciness of this burger.


You can even chose to eat your meal outside on the fresh green grass withering one of the mats that are provided. The staff here are very friendly, and wanting to serve your burger needs. A hidden gem in the heart of Chatswood.
