To celebrate its third birthday, Ribs & Burgers were offering a $3 birthday burger at all its stores so I thought it would be a good opportunity to check it out. I was told that the birthday burger was pretty much the same as the regular cheeseburger but without lettuce or tomato. After placing my order I was given a numbered watering can filled with cutlery, serviettes and sauce bottles and there was a station with water and some extra sauces for self-service. They even have a thoughtfully...

South Melbourne Trader's Wagyu Burger has been highly regarded by many, but what really caught my eye on the menu today was The Euro: wagyu pattie, mushroom, rocket, tomato, pickled onion, horseradish cream all in a brioche bun. As well as the burger, my $15.70 also got me some hand-cut potato chips, which were tasty, crispy and not completely drenched in oil. One edge of the pattie was slightly overcooked, but thankfully not dry, but the rest was nice and juicy. There was a nice balance of acidity...

I suppose the nice weather - and that on the last day of winter! - drew the crowds out to enjoy the beach setting. Noting the busyness of the cafe (particularly of the coffee queue) I expected a longer wait than usual for my umami burger to arrive. It took over half an hour for my burger to come, which is longer than I thought,...

Occupying a whole section of the Crown Entertainment Complex are all three of Neil Perry's Melbourne restaurants, one of which is Rockpool Bar & Grill.David Blackmore owns the only Mishima bull outside of Japan and a few times a year, Rockpool serves up some of this rare beef. I knew the mishima burger was available earlier this month but it seemed to have disappeared from the menu a week before I came. I planned to go and try the full-blood wagyu anyway, but to my joy, I found...

When I perused the menu a few weeks ago there was only one dish I was interested in trying, which was the smoked salmon omelette. After contacting the cafe and being informed that they have an all-day breakfast I settled on trying my dish of choice at a lunchtime. I'd originally planned to visit two weeks ago, but things came up unexpectedly so I had to postpone it by a week. The week after that, something else happened which left me without transport and so had to postpone...
