It's no surprise we here in Australia are fans of a deliciously deep-fried snack. Thick siu mai-like dim sim with a crisp outer layer? Iconic. A battered, deep-fried disc of potato cake? A summer essential. So what if we were to tell you that Australia's best burger held both of these snacks within its bready confines?
Collingwood burger joint that's renowned for being perched on a defunct train, Easey's, has won the title of Victoria’s Best Burger and Australia's best burger in the Litt Burger of Origin competition. The winning burger? Easey's Motz Madness creation.
This burger is a double Oklahoma fried onion burger that comes with onions smashed into two beef patties, plus double American cheddar, a potato cake and a dim sim all smashed between a bun.
The national burger competition had judge and competitive eater Cal Stubbs visit Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne with a total of 17 venues and Easey's came out on top in Victoria.
