Grain fed Beef Burgers at Woolwich

As you are watching the sun go down over Sydney Harbour, you need to devour a grass fed beef burger from the Woolwich Pier Hotel.

The first thing to notice is that the cheese is melted on the beef.  A sign of a good burger.

The second thing to notice about this burger is the bun.  It’s glossy, its soft.  But there is a soft crunch upon the first bite.

The third thing you notice is the dripping juiciness of the bun.  Onion jam and juicy meat combine to make this a culinary delight.

Perhaps a little pricey at $20, but worth every bite.

The flavour?  What hits you is the quality of the meat, cheese, onion jam and subtle mustard.  The pickle is present, but not overwhelming.  The sauce is not overpowering.  The meat itself has a chargrilled taste, which added to the character of this burger.  Perhaps a little too chargrilled in places.  I would suggest a little more pickle, to tone down the overall meat experience.

Goodgod Burgers

This place is one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets.  Tucked away in 55 Liverpool St, you wouldn’t know it exists.  (Apart from a google search on burgers in Sydney!) But walk inside and be treated to a burger sanctuary. 

Good luck finding a seat- but that’s only because this place is so good.  The menu reads like something you’d see in an American diner (well, except for the kangaroo burger with Macadamia nuts- that’s the only exception).  We decide our Australian palates with American taste buds need to acquire Goodgod’s cheesy burger.

 







The first burger quote of night upon getting our burger and holding it in our hungry hands was "It feels so good!”

The first thing you notice upon sinking your hungry teeth into this burger is the combination of juicy, cheesy goodness.  The presence of pickles are also welcomed.  In fact, the order that the flavour of this burger presents itself in is 1. Cheese, 2. Onion, 3. Pickles. There is so much flavour in this burger, it will leave you lusting for more.

The great thing about Goodgod (the good thing about Greatgod?) is the  free wifi!  So you can come and shoot your burger, and upload it to your burger blog right away.

 However, our tummies were still rumbling after the Goodgod experience.  We decided to wash down our burger with this:

And then this:

All in all, Goodgod satisfied our palates but not our stomachs.  Our feedback to the Goodgod kitchen staff would be: Double the size of those cheesie burgers, and you’ve won us for life.

Midnight Double Cheeseburgers

Because sometimes nothing will satisfy those cheesy/meat/onion-cravings we sometimes get quite like a Macdonald's Cheeseburger after a few beers. $2 per double cheeseburger is a small price to pay for these delicacies.
