It was only a matter of time before an eatery dedicated to sliders was opened in Sydney, and this one is a sparkling new takeaway bar at the Met Centre in Wynyard catering to the suits who work around there.

Fergburger and Fergbaker, Queenstown, New Zealand
The last time I went to Queenstown, I told you guys all about their amazing burger joint called Fergburger. Upon returning to Queenstown this year, it was similarly our very first meal of the trip after our plane trip left us famished. To my delight, they’ve also opened a bakery next door called Fergbaker, which was my last meal of the trip. But first, let’s see if the burgers are just as good as last time!

Jazz City Diner, Darlinghurst
Earlier in the year, Helen (our designer) introduced me to Jazz City Diner. It is a tiny American diner just off Oxford St that takes you back to another age; there is jazz music playing in the background, booths with retro seats and waitresses donning old school outfits. Back then, the diner was still relatively obscure and was easy to get a table but since then it has exploded in popularity and with good reason too.

The Perfect Burger
Many foodie fans struggle with eating a burger gracefully at some stage in their lives. But it’s worth suffering the embarrassment of a saucy grin and messy fingers as there are some fantastic burgers out there waiting to be demolished. Here’s what the better burgers seem to have in common:
The sauce
With the rise of gourmet grub, most eateries with burgers on the menu have more interesting options like herb aioli and peri peri sauce. We find that this really makes all the difference, adding some extra creaminess or zest to the meaty patty of goodness.
The Patty
Interesting fact: There’s no need to opt for wagyu beef if it’s on the menu because the buttery tenderness of the premium meat is lost once it’s made into a mince patty. Instead, be adventurous and try out different meats – the gamey ones like lamb and venison taste quite delish in a patty form.
The Size
Bigger is not necessarily always better. Bite sized mini burgers (a.k.a Sliders) are the remedy for burgers on a first date. Sliders have become compulsory in all the cool places in town, no doubt due to the influence of American 50’s diner culture and the ‘dude food’ movement. Sometimes they come in quirky flavours such as chicken katsu or pork belly, which give you a mouthful of flavour without too much mess. Win win!
Some of our favourite burger memories include Fergburger (NZ), Grill’d and Ms. G’s

Grill’d, Chatswood
I remember 2 years ago I went on a holiday to Melbourne and had the best burger I had ever eaten from Grill’d. It was then that I decided to bring this franchise to Sydney if I ever flunked uni. (Un)fortunately 6 months later, stores started popping up all over Sydney (someone beat me to it!) but this meant I could eat it without having to open my own store.
