PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAThe guys at Grill’d are in the know when it comes to burgers and they make them with love. On a more practical note, they also make them with superior produce and tasty fillings. And did I hear the word “healthy”? You’ve got it. They scrap the butter, fat and batter when making their burger creations (although they still do fundamental fries) and focus on non heart-attack, good quality meats and fresh ingredients. Where to begin? Where to begin? Pick from daily-baked paninis – gluten-free or more traditional varieties – with no added preservatives or sugar.
The “mighty Melbourne” is quite a package: grilled lean beef, tasty cheese, free-range egg, crispy trim bacon, beetroot, salad, a touch of relish and herby mayo. Or go for the satay sauce, coriander and grilled chicken breast number. There are also options for lamb lovers, like a spicy Morocan lamb creation. The vegetarian selections are crave-worthy; bite into the “Bombay bliss” which comes filled with a chickpea patty, fresh salad, roasted peppers, taztziki and sweet relish. Don’t be surprised if this joint is packed. Places like this beg the question: Can I consume burgers daily?
