Hotplate grill off

The Battle for the hotplate is hotting up; I don’t know if anybody has noticed that we now have 7 places to get a Hamburger. The Golden Arches standing still at centre stage and the old man of Burgers Greasy Joes has lost its way, gone are the days when the Cops dance on the tables and the early morning breakfast club has gone. The new owners have guttered it and turned it something of a sports bar with bad service and moved the cooking to next door.
Now there are new contenders in the Acland street shopping zone, starting at 62 is Hello Dolly, this a wonderful little shop great service and dam great burgers and chips next on the walk down Acland Street is Harry’s at 92a this is the old fish and chips that won best fish and chip shop in the 80s, it’s now been revamp under new ownership it’s clean and fresh but fish comes first and burgers second, still good but second.

Across the street at 83a is grill’d haven’t tried a burger there yet but looks well layout if have you tried a burger there let me know. Back across the street is Pit Stop at 96 as in its name a great Pit stop for a quick burger.

Around the corner opposite the National Theatre on Barkley Street is newly opened Danny’s in the old burger bar that was there for years, it’s clean fresh and rock ‘n’ Roll Jukebox while you wait I always wonder why the old owners didn’t clean up like Danny’s has done good onya Danny’s.

I do have one compliant when I grew up a hamburger with lot was Cheese, Onion ,Tomatoes, Egg, Bacon, Pineapple, BEETROOT and Dead horse, Not one of the burger joints had BEETROOT what happened to Beetroot it’s my favourite.

Cheers Mightymouse.
