A lot of burger joints have opened in
Sydney this year and I'm slowly working my way through them. But when
Melbourne's renowned Burger Maestro opens his own burger place, you make it
your priority to hit it up ASAP. I've been following Jimmy Hurslton (a.k.a. @Jimmysburgers) for years and his instagram
account has been my go to guide for Melbourne burger recommendations. He has
been to almost every (probably "all") legit burger place in
Melbourne, Sydney and beyond. He is also the owner of Easy's in Melbourne.
Bottomline is, this guy knows everything of what makes an excellent burger.

Guilty is his latest baby and is located in the heart of Darlinghurst. It's
actually more of well-rounded bar than it is a burger place. But my visit
was really for the burgers because "no burger no life" right?
The Kecksburger
($10) is their house cheeeseburger with salad, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard in a
soft potato bun. I prefer my cheeseburger without salad but this is an
exception. It's well constructed and the salad doesn't take the attention away
from the melted cheese and the tasty juicy patty.
Then there's my favourite, the rowdy
double jeopardy ($17). This is where their flame grilled perfectly cooked and
seasoned beef patties shine. Just like the kecksburger, the patties contain
coarsely mince beef. The good thing about the coarsely minced beef is that it
created pockets of juice and chunks of meat for amazing texture. Double the
patty and double cheese gives this classic cheeseburger with a twist that extra
umami and juicy factor. It also came with ketchup and mustard.
The tots
to life ($6) is their tater tots with a twist. Deep fried morsels of potato
that's super crisped on the outside and fluffy in the inside. They then take it
up a notch by topping it up with melted cheese, crispy bacon pieces and
caramelised onions.
A sweet combo of fast service, quality
booze, outstanding burgers, deep fried stuff and hiphop tracks, you can't go
wrong with Jimmy's joint. If lovin' this place is a crime, then I'm GUILTY as
charged!

ReplyDeleteI have to say, I think the Rowdy double jeopardy has been the best burger I've eaten in 2016 so far, every ingredient worked so well. None of the frou frou. Super laid back as well.
