A tour through 20 burgers as part of the Wellington on a Plate food festival (14-30 August 2015). I am also going to swim 10km over the 17 days to try and offset the burgers and create the necessary appetite to power through!

Day 4 - surf & turf
No breakfast after a big Sunday and a burger planned for lunch (could re-title the blog 'doctors weep'). I went to Trade Kitchen which has been a mixed bag in the past. I saw other burger-fiends I knew finishing off the 'Sea Burger' and they said they were not too impressed, so I had low expectations. However, on eating my burger I was pleasantly surprised. The patty was seasoned well and had herbs in it (thyme? oregano?). I particularly liked the lemony prawns that were included in the burger - they gave it a 'lightness' (is that possible for a burger)? I do think the bun was a bit dry, and in these times of brioche buns and steamed buns this is definitely an area for Trade Kitchen to improve on. In any event, I wolfed mine down. The chips were standard but satisfactory, the service was lovely. I give Trade Kitchen 6.8/10.
