Why would they name a shop after a ficticious football match between Bayern and Germany?

:shock:

Geesus.

I think there are some burger joints out there that have a promotion where if you can finish the burger you don't have to pay for it...as you'd expect though the burgers are fucking huge. :lol:

Might have to try the fried chicken...but yeah the burgers at Marys are a bit small.

FTR, that photo is just a massive close up. It wasn't the size of someones head. :lol:

Mate, next time you're going hit EG and myself up. We are the Newtown shenanigans masters! :lol:

Jugs of Young Henry's Newtown Ale @ The Courtyard. (Y)

Theres this yank joint in the dive of a place docklands cant remember the name but it goes alright.

I remember a few hauls out to Crowsnest for the first Grill'd when it opened.

OP has seriously underrated Mary's. Great burgs.

Wait til BRFC finds this thread. He did a burger tour of Victoria.

Best pub in Sydney. Hands down.

Been to a billion burger places, burgers are life.

Sydney - Pub Life Kitchen in Ultimo is the tits, Hotel Pennant Hills is good, Burger Project is alright, Chur Burger in Surry Hills, Harpoon Harry's in Surry Hills, El Burger in Winston Hills, Oxford Tavern in Petersham, The Grilld on George in Windsor, The Tuckshop in Glenhaven, His Boy Elroy in Wollongong, The Hub House Diner in Marrickville I've all been to, plenty more to tick off the list here too. Mary's CBD is average as fuck. Never been to Mary's in Newtown but heard good things. Went once and it was too busy. Maccas Create Your Taste isn't too bad (surprisingly) as well.

In Noosa did Betty's Burgers and Concrete Co. the other day, was immense.

In Melbourne I've done 8bit in Footscray, was the best burger I've ever had. Off the chain. Grand Trailer Park Taverna in the CBD isn't too bad, Ziggy's in Balaclava was good and Mr. Scruff's in Collingwood was real good too.

Burgers for life <3 cannot go wrong with double meat + cheese + ketchup + mustard + pickles + bacon either. Fried chicken is the shit too.

U da man.

u start a food blog or something? thats a fuckload of burger joints you been to.
Nice Work!

ill have to try some of those you memtioned

I'll usually go:

Brioche bun (buttered and slightly toasted)
Two patties (medium rare)
Bacon (well cooked)
American/smoky cheese (added onto patties just before taking them off the BBQ/grill to allow them to melt)
Pickles
Raw brown onion
Shredded lettuce
Tomato
Ketchup
American mustard

And for the patties, simple.

Beef mince
Salt
Pepper

Make the patties, don't use lean mince as the extra fat content makes it taste better, then just before you grill them put alot of salt and pepper on both sides. Last time I made burgers at home I did this and wouldn't change it. Each to their own though, I've put bacon in them before and that was good too.

Absolutely agree. The fat is the key.
i find using too much lean mince makes it go dry and tough.
Nice recipe.
i find that what you have to cook it on has an important effect on the taste regardless of how good the recipe is

Yeah, hundred percent. A good BBQ is always my favourite for any meat, let alone burgers.

If you haven't had a burger with freshly chopped thyme on it, you haven't lived.

Just throwing it out there, anyone heading down to the Vic surf coast has to go to bottle of milk in Lorne (Torquay has one as well?)
Fresh as f**k, great vibes and a lot of nostalgia (schoolies 2012 (Y) )

I can't understand people wanting meat patties cooked medium rare. Mince needs to be cooked right through. Anything else is just asking for food poisoning.

unless its pork or chicken the risk of food poisoning is low.

Disagree. Raw mince is one the higher risk foods for food poisoning as you are massively increasing the surface area that can be exposed to contamination. It's not like a steak where you can sear both sides and safely eat it, as the surface of the meat now runs through its entirety.
The only way to be safe, eating partially raw mince, is to mince the meat in a clean mincer immediately before you cook your burger so the bacteria has minimal time to grow. But most people wouldn't do that.

thats interesting. its better to know these things than not to. i find maybe pubs do it because if the patty is big it takes longer to cook and they cant be farked cooking it the whole way through

I've had it plenty of times and have had no problems.

Willing to try this.

we might have to check ourselves and see if we have any tapeworms:lol:

Yeah if you want to get sick... they closed down for a while last year as they poisoned 200 people. They got some fines and stuff. Just had next door to blackmans brewery. Better food and they do a good ipa and an even better imperial pilsner (worth Camden town brewery)

Definitely up there in my top 3. Love the place, don't visit there often enough.

I'm thinking a m80 rendezvous to the Glenmore is on the cards soon. Culiminating in Newtown, Marys and a shitload of Young Henry's. :lol:

Yeah I've heard some really good things about it. Need to try.

Belfield on Botany is pretty good. Not overly big but tasty and their tater tots are the fucking bomb :lol:

Village Crow in Zetland (same as Stoned Crow at Broadway) do good burgers.

Need to find some other good places around Sydney/Airport area.
