For Oral use only

On the West Coast don't have Broot on our burger & pineapple was a option.
So in the Burger you have,

Good size beef paddy
A couple peaces of bacon
A egg with slice of cheese
Fried onion tomato & lettes, you can eat this by hand

Then there is no room in the burger to put buddy beetroot & pineapple, maybe if your a poof & use knife & fork

No.38 on the list is looking good for me! Will be in Noosa for Christmas and looking forward to having an aussie burger again as it's been a while - and they had better have beetroot or else I'll sulk!

I used to keep a tin of beetroot at the Busstop Bar on soi 4.... just saying. And if Ant boiled chicken boy Robertson posts on this thread one more time he shall be redder to oblivion. Just sayin.

Fair enough mate. In fairness I will say the burgers do look great but I could never understand the reasoning why you would but beetroot on a burger.

The history of the hamburger is truly a story that has been run through the meat grinder. Some sources say it began with the Mongols, who stashed raw beef under their saddles as they waged their campaign to conquer the known world. After time spent sandwiched between the asses of man and beast, the beef became tender enough to eat raw—certainly a boon to swift-moving riders not keen to dismount. It is said, then, that the Mongols, under Kublai Khan later brought it to Russia, which turned it into the dish we know as steak tartare.
Several years later, as global trade picked up, seafarers brought this idea back to the port city of Hamburg, Germany, where the Deutschvolk decided to mold it into a steak shape and add heat to the equation, making something that, outside of Hamburg, was referred to as "Hamburg steak."
Of course, as it's been pointed out on the comments on this site and in John T. Edge's book Hamburgers & Fries, that's wishful thinking. As Mr. Edge writes, "The history of proletarian dishes like hamburgers is rarely explained by a linear progression of events."
But enough fishing in European and Asian waters; let's cut bait here. Somehow ground beef gets to America. Somehow it's put on a bun. But by whom? Surely the historical record becomes more clear once we cross to these shores.
It doesn't. There are currently three major claims staked on the confusing and contradictory map of American hamburger history. Each has its adherents and detractors. They are:
Louis' Lunch: This New Haven, Connecticut, burger joint claims to have invented our favorite lunchtime (and dinnertime) meal in 1900. From its website: "One day in the year 1900 a man dashed into a small New Haven luncheonette and asked for a quick meal that he could eat on the run. Louis Lassen, the establishment's owner, hurriedly sandwiched a broiled beef patty between two slices of bread and sen the customer on his way, so the story goes, with America's first hamburger."
"Hamburger Charlie" Nagreen: It's said that he started selling meatballs at the age of 15 at the summer fair in Seymour, Wisconsin. But, homeofthehamburger.org says, "Charlie was a resourceful young man with an outgoing personality. After not experiencing much success selling the meatballs, he had an idea and located some bread. He realized people could take this meal with them if he simply smashed the meat together between two pieces of bread. He called it a "hamburger" and yes, in 1885 the burger was born at the fair in Seymour, Wisconsin."
Menches Brothers: The brothers' descendents, who now operate a small chain in Ohio called, not surprisingly, Menches Bros. claim that their great-grandfather and his brother (Charles and Frank, respectively) invented the dish at an 1885 fair in Hamburg, New York. The brothers originally sold sausages but ran out and were forced to use ground beef, which at the time was considered declassé. John Menches, in a Businessweek story, says, "Faced with nothing to sell at all, they fried [the ground beef] up, but it was too bland. My grandfather decided to put coffee, brown sugar, and some other household ingredients in it and cooked up the sandwich. My great-uncle Frank served the first sandwich, a gentleman tasted it and said, 'What do you call it?' Uncle Frank didn't really know what to call it, so he looked up and saw the banner for the Hamburg fair and said, 'This is the hamburger.' "
So who invented the hamburger? Take your pick. We're too ground down at this point to choose.

Hamburger Hill

Once famous as 'the place to be seen' back in the 1960's and 1970's in your hotted up car to impress the girls dancing at the juke box.

Once voted the best hamburgers by the night shift journo's from the Daily News and the taxi drivers for many years in a row.

It had magnificent views of Perth before the Burswood complex was built.

And the train station used to be known as Rivervale until they changed it's name in the 1990's.

We would hangout there on a Saturday night in our FB & EJ's

I remem her that place! But only after it was closed - or did it burn down, I can't remember. Heard good stories about it.

Ahh my brilliant 'Chicken Surprise' bread-less manwich.

Fucking travesty that didn't win!

Boiled, skinless, chicken. No bread... Too many carbs." *

Ant Boiled Chicken Boy Robertson putting the words 'my' 'bread-less' and manwich together in the same sentence is a crime against humanity.

err, no.

It was a manwich ahead of its time!

Loadsa places worldwide do good burgers now, if you are prepared to pay the price and do your research- but a good burger in a roadside diner in the US is authentic! I think the cheese there must be designed for burgers too.

It was a fagwich, the photo of which was removed - no doubt through shame.

The photo self-destructed because as with all natures brilliance and beauty such things of majesty are fleeting and delicate!
