HiHo Cheeseburger

HiHo Cheeseburger öppnade i Los Angeles Santa Monica-distrikt under 2017, och har sedan dess hajpats rejält av flertalet burgarkonnässörer. Därför hade vi såklart väldigt höga förväntningar på HiHo, som enbart använder 100 procent färskmalet Wagyu-kött i sina burgare. Menyn är föredömligt kort med två olika burgare att välja mellan; en klassisk cheeseburgare med ketchup, samt deras ”HiHo Cheesburger” med senapsgrillat kött, ost, ketchup, senap, löksylt, sallad och pickles. Båda varianterna går att få med två eller tre köttpuckar, och vi valde en dubbel HiHo Cheeseburger med 150 gram kött för 7 dollar (ca 65 SEK).

Vårt första intryck av burgaren var att den såg helt fantastiskt inbjudande ut. Och redan vid första tuggan förstod vi varför det här stället har blivit så omtalat. Snacka om att leva upp till hajpen! Köttet var helt perfekt tillagat och hade en yta som var rejält pågrillad utan att bli bränd, samtidigt som den var fint medium inuti. Köttsmaken var verkligen något utöver det vanliga, och kvaliteten på Wagyu-köttet gick inte att ifrågasätta. Köttsafterna fångades fint upp av det perfekt fluffiga brödet som var frasigt uppvärmt.

Vår oro att det skulle vara för många smaker på burgaren kom också på skam. Alla ingredienserna var mycket välbalanserade, med en fin balans mellan sötma och sälta. Löksyltens härligt djupa sötma imponerade och American Cheese-osten var snyggt nersmält med en fin smak. HiHo Cheeseburger lagar den godaste burgaren vi har ätit i Los Angeles, och de är väl värda sitt toppbetyg på fem stjärnor.

In English

HiHo Cheeseburger opened in Los Angeles’ Santa Monica district in 2017, and have been hyped by most burger aficionados out there. So our expectations were of course high when we visited HiHo, who use only 100% grass-fed and freshly ground Wagyu beef in their burgers. Their short but sweet menu consists of two burgers (double or triple); a classic cheeseburger with just ketchup and their ”HiHo Cheesburger” with mustard grilled beef, cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion jam, lettuce and pickles.

We ordered a double HiHo Cheeseburger with 1/3 lb beef for 7 USD, and our first impression was that it looked really appetizing. And it only took one bite for us to realize why they have so many rave reviews. The hype is real! The meat was perfectly grilled, with a great char without being burnt on the outside, and cooked nicely medium in the centre. The meat flavour from the Wagyu beef was amazing, really proving that it can be used in a burger if you know what you’re doing. And the fluffy bun was nicely heated and managed to handle all the juices.

Our initial concerns that there would be too many ingredients on the burger were unfounded as well. Everything fit well together, with a nice balance between the salty and sweet components. The onion jam had a deep sweetness, and the creamy American Cheese was nicely melted. HiHo Cheeseburger serve the best hamburger we’ve eaten in Los Angeles, and definitely deserve their 5 star rating.

🇦🇺 @barlucasydney ★★★☆☆

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.
