Global Burgers - Darlinghurst

I am a firm believer in the universal appeal of burgers. They are suitable for any time of day or occasion, breakfast add an egg, formal occasions add brie and improve the bun. In this instance it was a quick and simple mid week meal with TK. After my better half read a review of this place we decided that it must be put to the test and i am glad to report it passed with honours.

MENU:
Fairly large for a burger joint with something for everyone with chicken,fish and vege options. The menu is themed with all burgers being named after a location (hence the slogan EAT THE WORLD) but how the beef burger was named New York i will never understand - never have i seen any cows in the apple, lots of leather though. Burgers were around the $10 mark more/less depending on the burger ingredients.

The sides were chips (surprise) with an option of "spices" cajun, chicken and rosemary lemon. Milk shakes etc are also available, with a range of gelato for dessert.


FOOD:
I ordered the Wellington, lamb with mint relish & garlic mayo, which was bloody good. The meat was cooked well and the whole burger taste was great - recommended. i washed it down with a chocolate shake - which i did not enjoy as it tasted like Milo, the poor mans quik, but TK loved.
TK ordered the New York, beef with tomatoe relish, onion rings & smoked cheddar. I had a mouth full at the end and enjoyed it but found the meat lacking in flavour. The relish however was great - TK thought it was too sweet. The smoked cheese was the best part but i missed out on it but was assured it was great. Both of us agreed that the New York was good but lacked something to make it great.
We shared some chips (big enough to share) and chose the Lemon Rosemary "spice" - not the greatest as had minimal lemon or rosemary. the chips were nice and fresh so may try the cajun spice next time.
2 general comments on the food - the buns were good quality and reminded me of the buns that porcho's had back in the day in N bondi. The patties were very well cooked but needed to be flatter as the meat to bread ratio was hard to maintain towards the end.

COST:
2 burgers, chips and shake - $27
The burgers were large and filling so probably could have avoided the shake or chips but very happy for the total spend.

OVERALL:
Global Burgers was good and can see it staying around for awhile, franchises are available if you are interested. Deffinetely recommended if in the area or hankering for a burger but we both feel that SGBurger at the spot in Randwick and Burgerlicious in Bondi Junction still are the top shelf.
