The Burger Joints first
review. Who would take my innocent burger virginity. I went local and took a
stroll down Magill road to see what the East side of Adelaide had to
offer. The orgasmic scent of burger grease wafted through the
air on approach. Given its location, this was probably the fast food one
night stand duo Hungry Jacks or its big sister McDonald's down the road,
waiting for its drunken hook up, both spewing their nightly odours
to attract innocent prey. As a burger snob I was off to check out what Burger
Foundry had to offer.
I was fresh from
my quarterly gym workout and hungry as a bear fresh out of
hibernation.
I frequented Burger Foundry at
its old location, a few shops from its current residence. A tiny shop front
with a single table, with not much character but a decent menu and some of the tastiest burgers in Adelaide. Their new location, under the 'Older Persons Mental Health Services'
offices, has definitely allowed this joint to flourish stylistically, and with a quick visit
from its upstairs clientele, should cure them of any mental ailments they might
have. Great atmosphere and design, with a large flat screen TV and glass screen
looking into the kitchen, so you can tune out from whatever annoying customers
that may have accidentally followed you in. The place has plenty of
seating inside and a small standing area outside to watch the chaotic traffic
on the main street.
Blue Steel Burger & Hand Cut Chips
I opted for the Blue Steel Burger
and a side of Chips. After about a 10 minute wait the deliciousness was ready
for consumption. The crunchy walnuts and stinky blue cheese gave this burger a
unique flavour and complemented the caramelized onion, rocket and
aioli perfectly. I am a man of simple pleasures and a quality beef patty
is one. The beef was cooked well and didn't ooze grease like I
teenager, but was dry and lacked anything special, like that from its bigger brothers the
slow cooked patty. The chips tasted like plain old potatoes and lacked anything exciting. Their meal deal is hardly a deal, with a side of chips and a
coke for $6.50, making a burger, chips and drink around $20. Expensive for a
burger meal if you ask me. But the burger was large, gourmet and tasty,
so we’ll let that one slide.
Get there with someone’s kids from Monday till Wednesday and get yourself a kids burger for free. Now that is a deal. They also offer chicken burgers, ribs and for the mentally insane, veggie burgers. A nice addition is the coffee foundry to get your caffeine fix.
