A cool new burger joint by an all-star team just opened in Sydney.
Called Burger Park, the fresh spot is by chef Joel Bennetts, hospitality entrepreneur Nathan Dalah and Nic Pestalozzi, who also own Fish Shop next-door in Bondi. If those names sound familiar, that's because Dalah and Pestalozzi also founded the ready-to-go Fishbowl empire alongside Casper Ettelson.
Pestalozzi says they want their customers to leave feeling great, so expect to see organic buns, grass-fed beef and lots of fresh salads on the menu – amped up with Bennett’s fun add-ons like salt-baked beetroot, fermented chilli and pickled pineapple.
Great flavours and quality ingredients will be brought to life in a concise menu of five burgers. Hits include a classic beef burger with chunky sauce, oak lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, onions and pickles on an organic bun. Us? We’d be going for the fish burg with crumbed barramundi, iceberg lettuce, tartare and salsa verde.
Bennetts said: “I have been getting asked what my favourite burger is on the menu and honestly it’s this cheeseburger – it’s not on the menu, but if you ask you will get it!” (You know what to do.)
Burger Park will have specials every weekend, and for added atmosphere, there will be live jazz held in the park on the first Friday of every month if you’re keen to swing on down.
