Welcome to Burger Watch, where we acknowledge the constant creativity bursting from all sides of the epic burger wave that sweeps Australia every week. The highest of high demand is reserved for this timeless food staple and just about every interpretation of it, whether it to be an over-the-top glutton-fest or a focus on simple burgers done well. We acknowledge that it’s not just enough to compile a list of the best burger joints for each city because we all know the cream of the crop have space on their menu for revolving specials. That’s why every now and then we’ll be paying close attention to some of the absolute best burger joints across the country and picking limited edition specials we feel you need in your life, so you’ll never have to miss out again.
We’ve already featured a Bar Luca special, but how could we not revisit the beloved burger joint for their annual all-star week? Once a year Bar Luca and it’s BL Burger brethren put it to their many fans to vote for weekly specials which have popped up in the past months, deciding on their favourite limited edition burgers. Those favourites are then brought back for one week only, seven being chosen and each offered for one day only.
That week is coming in a matter of days, and while we don’t advise tackling all of these (unless you are some metabolic miracle) we do suggest you pick out one or two and get in line, these aren’t going to stick around for long.
Here’s a break down of what Bar Luca/BL Burgers will offer throughout next week. Note that the ingredients listed are based on the original specials as they appeared on the menu through 2016.
