Later on Ilker brings out one of those hoverboard things and spins around the store on it. Why can't all food be this fun? There are 22 burgers on the menu, including one called The Herbert. I can barely count to 22. You know what's important in a good burger? Balance. You can have all kinds of crazy stuff and one giant patty and whatever, but for mine everything needs to be in proportion and work together, and the cunningly named Single Decker did just that - juicy thin patty, cheese, pickles, mustard, sauce and bun that all meld into a hand grenade of deliciousness. Just pull the pin and throw it at your face. Can't wait to try more. Full disclosure: a colleague bought this burger for me. Oh, and the results of the man vs food challenge? Close, but no cigar: 2.5 cheese-slathered patties left on the table.

Talk about a huge variety of fabulous burgers! It's not often a burger joint will have such a wide…read moreselection of burgers other than beef. There usually one or two chicken options, and one or two vegetarian options, but this place had so much to choose from, I couldn't decide and had to ask the friendly owners which they recommended. How could I go past a burger that specifically listed pickles as one of the ingredients. PICKLES!! The Herbert was incredibly, and luckily I went the healthy option of wholemeal bread! (Make that a diet coke, I'm watching my weight) Haven't you heard? It makes all the difference. The chips were addictive; damn that chicken salt. Add to it the amazing dip options and I was shoveling those in my mouth non-stop. There was pickle mayo, guys...PICKLE mayo! I will definitely be back to try some of the other chicken burgers and/or the lamb burgers and definitely the pickle mayo again. Maybe I can order a glass of pickle juice.

The thing I love about local stores like local bakeries, local chinese restaurants and local…read morechicken shops is that the owners of the stores know almost all their customers. Something I feel that's missing in a lot of other stores nowadays, there's just this empty connection between two people that we've become used to over the counter. That's why when I stopped by this store for a charcoal chicken and chips, the lady behind the counter seemed a bit confused and said "where do you live? I haven't seen you here before." After I told her I was visiting family in the area and some friendly chatter, I started to like this place even more. This place not only sold good charcoal chicken and chips, with the stuffing the good old way, that a lot of the Portuguese and newer charcoal chicken shops fail to offer, they also offered that friendly neighbourhood service that you just don't seem to find anymore.

I guess the porch really did it for me - one of those newer pubs that deliberately created a porch where patrons could sit at with a beer in hand and either chat, or read a book if they are like me. The other thing is that they also had a decent selection of beers on tap, and that is always going to win me over.

This is a counter order and pick up kind of joint so don't expect full service. In fact I would say the service in all is pretty mediocre. We experienced rude wait staff and was miss- rung up for our bill. However, to Rocksia's credit the manager did come over to offer a free drink to my BF's Aunt which helped to ease the hard feelings. The EATS...HUGE portions. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and chips and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Another plus is that Rocksia does promotions like saving your receipt vouchers for the next time you come, 2 for 1 meals. All in all a pretty decent joint and good value.

Hurricanes is a bar and grill with a number of venues around Sydney, including Chatswood, Bondi,…read moreCircular Quay and Darling Harbour. They also have a store in Qld and a couple of express stores. We visited Hurricanes at their Brighton Le Sands location. Brighton Le Sands is one of the lesser known waterfront dining areas in Sydney. Hurricanes has a prime spot there, right on the waters edge, boasting views of our historical Botany Bay. It also has views of the airport and aeronautical enthusiasts can enjoy planes taking off over the bay. It is spacious venue with floor to ceiling glass to take advantage of the views. It is extremely large with plenty of tables and 2 bars and open plan so you could easily host a large party and they are booked up with 350 people for New Years Eve. We arrived right on noon and it was just opening. We were promptly taken to our table, right at the windows with a lovely outlook. We perused the menu and staff updated us with the daily specials. Hurricanes are famous for their ribs and steaks and they use a unique basting sauce to provide a lovely flavour to their meats. Meat cuts are all halal certified from their suppliers and can have no sauce upon request. They also offer plenty of steaks on the menu, salads and a range of appetisers too. They may not be known first and foremost as a seafood restaurant, but there's plenty of seafood options too. Our visit to Hurricane's saw us try some of these seafood options, beginning with the scallops. Perfectly cooked, the scallops were served in the open shell, atop sweet potato purée, resembling the look of roe. We thoroughly enjoyed this start to the menu. Following on from this, we ordered one of the specials, the grilled whole barramundi. It was soft and flaky, with the flesh falling from the bone. We enjoyed this with lemon and a side salad. We couldn't go past ordering a steak, which Hurricanes are notorious for. There's numerous meats and cuts to select from. Whether it be the rump, strip stirloin, fillet tenderloin or T bone, you will find your perfect match. Wagyu, dry aged or long fed beef, Hurricanes sure know their meats. We went for the dry aged beef, aged for 21 days, served as a strip loin on the bone (400g), the flavour was lovely and it was cooked spot on to our request. Meats come with your choice of fries, salad or baked potato and you can order a sauce to accompany it. Hurricanes also serve other main menu items like beef cheeks, lamb cutlets, pork knuckle, grilled chicken, burgers and more. There's also combo deals like steak and ribs or meat or seafood platters. There's desserts and cocktails to top off your dining experience. The menu is certainly extremely approachable so we imagine it would satisfy any dining party.

My flight back to LA was in the morning, so I didn't have time to eat before I got to the airport…read more Hence, I had to find some breakfast at the International Terminal. I had read that there were fewer food options to choose from after security, so I decided to get a bite at the food court before customs. Came across this Hungry Jack's in the T1 food court and decided to give it a try. If you are not from Australia, you probably don't recognize this brand name. But you might if you saw the logo. That is because Hungry Jack's is the Australian name for Burger King. The Jack in the company name is derived from the first name of the owner of the BK fast food franchise in Australia. The Hungry Jack's menu has a lot of the same offerings you find at Burger King like the signature Whopper burger. As it was the morning though, I had to choose from the breakfast menu offerings. Offerings here are pretty comparable to what you will find at McDonald's. Since I want to try something different when I am visiting an out of country fast food chain, I decided to try the promo, Brekky Hero value meal ($7.50). The sandwich comes with a hash brown and your choice of coffee drink. I decided to get a latte, which came from a coffee machine. The Brekky Hero was interesting as the bun was like the ones that BK uses for their chicken sandwiches, except the toppings inside contained bacon, eggs, cheese and a hash brown. It was pretty filling for a breakfast sandwich and the price for the meal was reasonable given that this is the airport. It seems like Hungry Jack's has better pricing than the McD's at the airport. If you are looking for inexpensive food to fill you up before your flight out, this Hungry's Jack is a good option. It is close to the entrance to customs, so it is conveniently located if you are in a rush to grab a meal before heading airside.
