The
Sydney artisinal burger scene has grown over the years. But only a few places
have made marks in my burger loving heart. One of them is Gee Ozgen’s Mister Gee
Burger Truck. The OG Sydney burger truck, the one that started it all. At
the time, he was one of the few burger cooks in Sydney that did my favourite
smash-style burger patties and did it really well.
Three years later since Mister Gee’s launch, my
homie Gee expanded his empire. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the beginning
of a Happy Ending. Gee’s very own
takeaway/diner concept shop located in Concord.
Not just a shop of burgers but also everything from fried chicken, sandwiches,
loaded nachos, loaded fries and more. Two notable changes from the Mister Gee
style burgers is that here, dry aged beef is used for the patties and milk buns
are now sourced from St Malo.
Why
have normal shoestring fries when you can have Fries loaded with cheese with
Gee’s very own Fries with Cheese ($6)?!
Yess!!! They’ve got loaded nachos ($6) too! Nachos topped with cheese sauce and mango salsa.
The No Mustard Please burger ($12) is
hands down my favourite item on the menu. Y’all know I love minimalist burgers
and this one only consists of beef patty, nicely melted American cheese,
caramelised onion and a special blend sauce called sauce No.2 in a lightly
toasted Japanese milk bun. The coarsely minced patty had a nice caramelised
crust with a lot of umami. I absolutely loved the pockets of juice trapped
between the minced meats. The sweetness from the onion and sauce no.2 was
perfect for cutting through all the umami and richness.
The Deep Fried Friends ($15) chicken sandwich consists of deep fried
chicken fillet, pickles, American cheese, mayo and KAYA BUTTER (coconut jam). I
can see why Bianca loves this burg so much. The sweet notes from
the mayo and kaya complimented the fried chicken fillet well. Definitely one of
the best fried chicken burgers I’ve had in Sydney.
The Anxiety in NYC ($15 and $3 for extra
bacon) burger consists of beef patty, American cheese, tarragon bacon mayo,
mushroom duxelle and confit shallots. This is Gee’s gourmet-style burger and is
also a winner!
Gee shares my love for Korean Fried Chicken and
I’m so glad to see that he has Korean Chicken Tenders ($9) on the
menu. These are beatifully cooked twice-fried crispy chicken coated in sweet
and chilli Yangnyeom-style sauce. Dayumn!
Gee’s new joint is a reflection of his passion
and cuisines that has inspired him over the years. Who says Happy Endings only happen in
fairytales? Come to Concord and get yours when Gee’s new shop officially opens to the public this Saturday, 9th of December.
