The Gold Coast’s Brooklyn Depot recently launched its second highly anticipated venue in Surry Hills, Sydney. The venue’s Chef prepared menu is inspired by Old Brooklyn street specialties, including of course, its infamous handcrafted burgers.
It’s hard to look past the signature double stack Depot Burger, and injecting your own chilli syringe into the FUHGEDDABOUDIT burger is also a must. The meal wouldn’t be complete without fries, which you can have plain, or ‘Brooklynised’ to include bacon, onion rings, cheese sauce and frickles (battered and fried pickles). For those of you on a health kick, you have the option to ‘Shun The Bun’, and have your burger served in a bowl on a Depot Crib Salad
Composed of three cuts of David Blackmore Wagyu beef, as well as truffles, this is a truly decadent burger that’s bursting with flavour. It’s served in a house-made brioche bun with pickles and horseradish and is accompanied with house-made tomato sauce and triple cooked chips. This burger pairs well the 2014 Hay Shed Hill Shiraz Tempranillo from Margaret River, Western Australia ($11 a glass).

Ghost Chilli BBQ Burger ($16)
Be one of the first to try the Ghost Chilli BBQ Burger at El Camino Cantina. This mecca for Tex-Mex lovers will open its doors in The Rocks on Wednesday, 25 May, just in time for National Burger Day. The Ghost Chilli BBQ Burger features the world’s hottest chillies, which have been pickled in this instance to reduce firepower, but still give a noticeable kick. These little heart-starters sit under a Black Angus beef patty, accompanied with avocado, tomato, iceberg lettuce, Cholula hot sauce, and spicy Pepper Jack cheese. The bun is smeared with ghost chilli jam.
This flavoursome burger is perfectly paired with Urban Brewing Co.’s latest craft beer release, Flaming Hellcat XXX Especial lager ($8 a glass) , which is served on draught exclusively at El Camino Cantina.

The Schulz is a classic cheeseburger. A slice of American cheese clings meltingly to the top of a succulent beef patty that is served inside a soft slider bun. Add haus-made pickles, ketchup, mustard and onions and it’s quite a flavoursome affair. The Schulz washes down well with the Crafty Bavarian Brewing Co.’s Hop Dock Wheat Beer ($8 a glass).

If you can’t decide between fried chicken, or a burger, then The Hendl has got you covered. Succulent crispy fried chicken breast is served in a super soft potato roll, with habanero pickle butter and cucumber kimchi for added kick. The Hendl pairs well with the Crafty Bavarian Brewing Co.’s low carb Blonde Moment ($8 a glass).
So what you waiting for, grab your buns and celebrate International Burger Day the way that the gods intended, in style!
