Petey Pablo and Brodburger

Another joint blogging effort (under the influence of burgers of course)!

So after that disappointing Cooma burger, I promised Hello Jilly! (did you know that I appointed Jill with that nickname?) that the next time she came to Canberra, that I would take her to the city-famous Brodburger van (http://www.brodburger.com.au/). It’s this random van that’s next to Lake Burley Griffith selling a beef, chicken, veggie, fish, and double beef with double egg and bacon burger. I’ve had everything (except the double) and highly recommended them all. Jill came to Canberra for the day for “work” and as soon as we finished, we made it where Jill would meet the best burger in Australia (so far).

First sign that it would be good – the red paint and lights. See above.

Second sign - it’s called Brodburger (Jilly liked it because she’s a broad, get it??). Shout out people, we need your vote. These haters in the Bra (as in Canberra) are trying to shut this fine establishment down because it ain’t ‘pretty’. There is a petition out front and be sure that I signed it with burger pride. Long live the burger truck.

Third sign, the two dudes and one chick running the van were listening to some cool hip hop which we hadn’t heard of before (has anyone heard of Petey Pablo from North Carolina?). As you can imagine, Jill had to get up in the cute, but possibly slightly inebriated, burger truck’s man grill and ask him if he knew the capital of North Carolina. When he answered no, Vi made it clear that Jill didn’t even know herself. BUSTED. We danced as we anxiously awaited our burgers.

Fourth sign, when Jilly bit into the burger, it was delicious. Meat to bun ratio was perfect, condiments were nice (although no mustard for her, I like it without) and we had our choice of Brie, Swiss, or Blue cheese. Gourmet, I know! The French fries (they call them chips here) were thin, crispy, and hot. Yum! Another reason to return to Canberra. According to Scooby (aka Robin, Vi’s partner), the chicken burger is the best. Get there early because they tend to run out of the fish. Best burger so far in Oz. Burger Truck FOREVA!
