You could join the queue of 50 cars for a quick and nasty drive-through burger fix, or you could make the smart call and order an awesome burger from one of these gourmet joints.

BurgerFuel // The Bastard

Ingredients: 100% pure grass-fed beef, melted cheddar, bacon, raw grated beetroot with chia seeds, mango, smashed avocado, salad, tomato relish and free-range aioli.

One of the originals on the menu at the first BurgerFuel store. The Bastard is like a pizza with ‘the works’ and once people got over the polarising mango and beef combo, it quickly became one of the most popular burgers on the menu.

The Burger Joint // The Bomb

Ingredients: 100% pure NZ beef, bacon, cheese, egg, beetroot relish, lettuce, onion and pickles.

From a menu of sumptuous choices, including kimchi and a delicious grilled eggplant vegetarian option, The Bomb stands out. It’s been on the menu since the New Brighton eatery’s start as a food truck and it continues to please the punters. The name says it all – this is one stacked burger.

Ingredients: 2 x prime NZ beef patties, crispy bacon, 2 x cheddar cheese slices, gherkins, beetroot, jalapenos, fried egg, hash brown, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce and mayo.
