The Burger Book Adventures

Any excuse to go on a burger rampage across Melbourne!! I love a good burger – who doesn’t? And we are pretty spoilt in Melbourne, so much so you can now buy The Burger Book and take the burger challenge – How many places can you visit? The book is a beautiful combination of burger stories, recipes for the perfect burger elements and a tour of the best burger joints across the suburbs.

The burgers are fun and fabulous! Choose from the classic or go crazy with Sexy, Filthy or Easy!!
Sexy covers double beef, double cheese with jalapeno mayo! The Easy is with bacon, egg and tomato and the Filthy…. mustard fried beef, cheddar chilli paste and jalapeno mayo! It is truly filthy!!

The Skinny Dog – Kew
