With the rising burger phase in Sydney, it's no wonder a sandwich shop from Macquarie Centre decided to move to Westfield Sydney (the previous shop is now a sub branch called The Hub). What's a better way to gain back all the calories and indulge in something after some intense yoga barre?

The line was expectedly long during lunch hour, and super busy. It did take around 20mins for my food to be be ready. All the sandwiches and roast are plated quicker, but since burgers are to order, it did take a bit longer. Mine took exceptionally long to the point where the guy on the pass asked me what I ordered, and it was the burger plated in front with chips. I asked for takeaway and no chips, but I'm not gonna complain it's they had to move it to the box with free chips included...It was mainly the chips which was holding up the orders and making the food orders slower.

Angus Beef Pattie, American Cheese, Deep Fried Mac & Cheese, Maple Smoked Bacon, Iceberg Lettuce, Chipotle Mayonnaise and a Red Onion & Maple Jam-$14

that melted cheese

when other people come up to you and ask where you bought the burger from, you know it's gonna taste even better than it looks.

Apart from the wait, I was super stoked to get this burger. Free patty ($3) for Fatties (Fatties Burger Appreciation Society). The inside was relatively lean angus beef but still juicy. This was a tad bit more pink than I would've liked, more medium-rare here. Would prefer medium for patties (just to be safe, but not outrageously crazy like the new burger laws which states for no pink. stupid government who uses American non-peer reviewed resources and unreliable statistics). Cheese melted perfectly on the patty, and was enough to dip some of the chips into.

The highlight was the deep fried mac and cheese patty, first time having one and it was so worth all the extra calories. The outside batter had a lovely golden brown colour, which gave a good crunch and was quite thin. Inside was melted cheese and macaroni, which wasn't overly seasoned like those 'Easy Mac' flavouring packets. I highly suggest this burger, because the filled patty takes it to another level.

The maple jam with red onion was quite sweet, and some of the flavour transferred over to the patty. If you had just the onions it would be super sweet, but as a whole burger, it helped balance out some of the saltiness and cheesiness. The bacon could have been smoked a bit more, and was quite a small piecee and wasn't crunchy. Wished there was more lettuce, since most of it was drowned out by the chipotle mayo. Needed a bit more lettuce to make it not as heavy. The mayo wasn't spicy at all (which is good for me, but I know some other people prefer some kick to it).

The rosemary salt chips didn't have much potato inside, and were quite oily. Couldn't really taste the rosemary in the salt either. It was fresh but average. 

I think the price is decent for a burger of this size and quality. Wouldn't mind coming back to try the other burgers and add on a mac and cheese patty, or try their roasts.
