Whoopi Goldburger

I det alltid livliga Shibuya-området i Tokyo ligger det lilla burgarhaket Whoopi Goldburger. Deras lokal – som egentligen bara består av en lång bardisk – genomsyras av en otroligt skön stämning, och det är svårt att slita blicken från väggarna som är fullsmockade med intressanta detaljer.

Deras meny består av nio burgare som har fått ordvitsiga namn efter olika kända skådespelare, som Sarah Jessica Burger och Charlotte Gains-Burger, och vårt val föll på deras Kevin Bacon Burger. Baconburgaren, som kostade motsvarande 100 kronor, serverades med en riktigt tjock baconskiva, en tjock skiva tomat och en rejäl näve sallad.

Burgarens smak höll tyvärr samma klass som utseendet, och var inte alls särskilt bra. Det tjocka baconet, som nästintill kunde liknas med kassler, var både segt och svårtuggat. Resten av ingredienserna lämnade också mycket att önska. Köttet var torrt och alldeles för hårt packat, och även brödet kändes trött och imponerade inte på oss alls. Däremot måste vi säga att pommes fritesen var väldigt goda, och hade en rejäl krispighet.

Vi önskade att vi kunde säga att burgarna på Whoopi Goldburgers höll samma klass som den coola lokalen och den trevliga personalen, men så var tyvärr inte fallet. Detta var helt enkelt en medioker gatuköksburgare serverad i en riktigt cool förpackning.

In English

Whoopi Goldburger can be found in the always lively Shibuya district in Tokyo. This cool burger joint basically consist of a long bar counter, and their walls are slammed with interesting details. Nearly all their burgers have pun-tastic names based on famous Hollywood actors, and we chose their Kevin Bacon (Burger), which was served with a really thick slice of bacon and an excessive amount of lettuce. Sadly, the thick bacon was way too chewy and the patty was compact and dry. The bun didn’t really inspire us either, but we must say that the fries were surprisingly good. We just wish their burgers had been as cool as the atmosphere and the staff, but sadly that wasn’t the case.

Bar Luca is a cool and loud bar just a stone’s throw from the Opera House in central Sydney. They have been going viral for a while with one of their campaign burgers, which now has a permanent place on their menu. So when we were there, it was the obvious choice. The burger was called Blame Canada and consisted of a single beef patty, American cheese, maple syrup-glazed bacon, maple syrup aioli, poutine and fries inside the burger. The price was 20 AUD (14 USD).

Our burger still looked pretty good when it arrived, shiny from the maple syrup and with a patty with a decent crust. The beef tasted fine, even if it was a bit burnt in some places and would have benefited from a looser texture. The crown of the bun was a bit squashed, but it still held together surprisingly well and tasted great. The bacon was also unexpectedly crispy, and we liked the nice and flavourful maple syrup glaze. But it was very sweet overall with all the maple syrup, which literally dripped from the burger. This made the whole burger really sticky and quite difficult to handle – even if it also meant that we ate the whole thing at once. The fries that were under the patty itself were very soft and completely lacked crunch, probably because they were steamed by being placed directly in the burger. And we would have really preferred a bit larger cheese curds in the poutine, as the texture was a bit unappealing.

Blame Canada sounded very interesting on paper, and we can see why the burger has gone viral and become so popular. And even if everything was alright, it had too many technical mistakes to become a real favourite. But if you are in the mood for a sweet and sticky burger while listening to some loud music, Bar Luca is there for you.

Royal Stacks is a Melbourne-based burger chain that was founded in 2016 after their founder Dani travelled to the US and got a healthy dose of inspiration. They are still expanding, and currently have more than 10 restaurants that are decorated with plenty of well-known pop culture references. The five beef burgers on the menu are clearly inspired by Shake Shack, but with a slightly cooler attitude. We ordered a Bacon Bacon; a double burger with cheese, caramelised onions, double bacon, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 23 AUD (16.5 USD).

Our burger looked good, but we were a bit worried about the large amount of ketchup that was piled on top of the bacon. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by how well the ketchup tied the flavours together, and the sweetness and intense tomato flavour really made their mark here. The beef patties were tender, tasty and well-seasoned, but the bun was a bit too soft and should have been toasted a lot more. Fortunately, it held everything together well, so it wasn’t a big problem. On the ingredients front, the cheese provided a welcome creaminess, and we also liked the strong dill flavour of the pickles – although we would have preferred them to be thicker sliced and to have had more of them. They were already gone halfway through the burger. The bacon was a bit too soft and would have benefited from being crisper, but despite the slightly pale appearance, it was cooked pretty well. The caramelised onions were also a bit too soft, and we would have preferred raw onions here for a more interesting texture. Overall, the burger had well-balanced proportions, although everything was a bit softer than we would have liked.

Royal Stacks is a nice Australian fast casual chain that serves well made and affordable burgers in a cool environment. They are definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in Melbourne.
