Burger Wars

Hi people ^^ How have u been? Me? Still facing the sound of unemployment. I attended graduation for the second time last night. Why would I go through that awful process again? Well parentals asked me to do it ... something about the proud factor. Fair enough after all they have put up with me in my honours year. So that means as of last night I really am unemployed. I have been making progress though. Since all the graduate program applications are open now and a lot of them closing soon, I've made it my goal to get through as many applicable to me as possible. Slowly but sure. A few rejections have come through from applications I had completed a month ago. Its funny because looking back, I can understand why. The difference between the applications written now and the ones written a month ago are huge! Other than that I haven't really heard back from many. I did get to stage two of the NAB application tho ^^ it was for online assessment of written, numerical and logical reasoning. I learnt that I have none. haha we shall just have to see...

Anyways since coming home I have caught up with a few friends and the trend seems to be for burgers. I guess Perth is really trying out this gourmet burger thing. Anyway over the past month I've been to Burger Bristo, Grill'd and Jus Burgers and surprisingly they are quite different.

-Grill'd-

This was my first dose of Perth's Gourmet Burgers. Although I had heard about places including Alfred's Kitchen and Jus Burgers, Grilled was my first taste of hearty burgers that weren't mass produced by a group of teenagers. I took my sister here for her birthday last year just before flying off on my holidays and it left me craving. For the month and a half away from Perth I couldn't believe I was craving something at home! The texture of the bun which was soft and yet had substance was what I found most pleasing with this burger. I think of them all this was my favourite. After coming home from holidays I caught up with Anthony to check out his new camera and introduce him to Grill'd. I can safely say we have another addict. Service was great too and the atmosphere of Beaufort Street is always busy... I give it a 9/10!

Craving... *drools*

- Burger Bristo -

Apparently a new burger joint had opened up in Leedy while I was gone. Alii-Lii asked me to come down and try the place as well as have a little catch-up session during his lunch break. I must say after the taste of Grill'd my expectations were set pretty high but at the same time I was really looking forward to Burger Bristo. Being late that day I was thankful for the fast service as Ali was rushing to get back to work. The burgers were tasty.. definitely.. and at the same time I didn't feel as if I damaged any health routine by eating it.. but something was missing. It was the bun. It was a little harder and flakier than I would have expected. It was a little more difficult to eat. Still thoroughly enjoyable but unfortunately not as good as Grill'd... I give it a 6/10.

Can you see all the brie!!

- Jus Burgers -
Planning a catch up session with Tammy, Ruth and Alan is always a bit of a challenge as we all work on very different schedules but I'm always so grateful when we get the chance to meet up over coffee, lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, for our recent session we were without Alan. But we decided on Jus Burgers for dinner. I think Jus burgers were the first gourmet burgers that I had know about.. but just never gotten round to trying until a week ago. We tried the newly opened branch on Williams Street. I loved the atmosphere of the place and the girls would agree that it is a cute little place for good food and good company. Trying not to be influenced by all the laughter of the night and solely judging on the burger is a little difficult. But in my honest opinion, I think Jus Burgers meet my standards. The only disappointment I had was with the pineapple in the burger I had chosen. By the time I made it half way through the burger.. the pineapple had made the bun all soggy :( but I am deciding to put this down as a choice since I decided to have the burger with pineapple. All in all I was pleased with what I got. Shout out to the friendly staff too ^^ I give Jus Burgers 8/10

With a pomegranate shake on the side

Sorry for the long rant and poorly written food review... I decided I'm better at eating than I am at reviewing lol I guess I should stick to eating ^^
