So I was in the Melbourne CBD, and I felt like a burger.

Situated on a major thoroughfare and open for breakfast until 11.30am, after which the menu changes to the "lunch and onwards" options, Trunk Diner is the small American themed attachment to Trunk Bar and Restaurant.

As well as burgers, there is fried chicken, salads, half a dozen baguettes, quesadilla, and half a dozen sweet items, including apple pie. Fries don’t come with the burgers, but are an additional $3 or $6.

At $10, the basic Diner Burger is a Wagyu beef patty in a grilled brioche bun, with baby cos, thick cut tomato, house-made pickles, a choice of 4 cheeses (Gruyere, Monterey Jack, Raclette and Cheddar), and extras like crispy bacon, caramelised onions, sautéed mushrooms, guacamole and jalapeño. I chose to add mushrooms and Gruyere to my basic burger, and a small order of fries.

If you’re famished, you can order a double burger, for $19.

Arriving on a tray in a slightly deconstructed fashion (why were the tomato, onions and lettuce not in the burger? Yes, I put them in), with the pickled vegetable being a nice bit of unexpected pumpkin, this is not a huge burger, but still a decently sized one. Along with a serving of chips, it is enough for a meal.

Brioche are my favourite burger bun. Though this one was good, it wasn’t the best brioche burger I’ve had, being a little on the bland side. The patty was the best thing about the burger. Perhaps a tad raw for some folks, it tasted like quality beef, was nicely pink the middle, a good thickness, and a decent size, proportionate to the bun. Interestingly, it was not as juicy as I thought it would be, given how the meat looked and tasted. Perhaps the biggest disappointment, given that it was an enjoyable burger, was the quantity of the extras. Or rather lack of quantity, as the case may be.

Trunk Diner is split between an enclosed area and a large courtyard that is presumably also used by Trunk Restaurant & Bar as well. On a sunny day, it's a great place to sit outside for a burger, and good for groups. This is a 'diner' burger whose strength is in its meat. Is it a burger I'd order again? I might, with a different combination of extras, but I did enjoy visiting Trunk Diner, and wouldn't mind going back to try something else. If you're in the mood for a decent burger and you're in the CBD, it's worth a visit.

Sometimes I go through a sandwich phase. It's as though I can't get enough of bread filled up with whatever I crave at that time. It had also been a little while since I'd eaten at Bondi, so it was off to the well-established Katzy's Food Factory to satisfy a bit more of the sandwich "need".

I was there for the "Hot Beef on Rye" ($16.95), which you can order with salad or chips.

There was an oddly endearing quality to the partially missing crust, and the rather large serving of chips were also somewhat appealingly varied in shape, though a little on the dry side, tastewise. This  sandwich comes with a generous serving of chopped up pickles, which you can see behind the pile of chips.

The hot beef was generous in quantity, the bread coated in a thin smear of Dijon mustard, and this was the sort of sandwich that is pure uncomplicated comfort food. Nothing elaborate about it, but I enjoyed it sufficiently that I went back a week later and had another one.

Another notable restaurant in Dalkey is 'Nosh', though its bright, sun-filled informal interior means that it could easily be taken for a cafe. They have a children's menu as well, adding to the relaxed feel of the place.

The treacle bread (a traditional Irish bread) and the fish and with chunky homemade chips were outright winners.

Situated in the still relatively new iSquare shopping centre, one of several new temples to commercialism in TST, I came across Kraze by accident.  I didn't realise it at the time, thinking that it was a single business, but it is an outpost of a well known Korean burger chain.  The name is  mashup of 'Korea + Craze + Burger', and this branch is their first overseas one.

Instead of pronouncing it like 'craze', as was intended, Koreans have decided to call it 'Krazy Burger'.

The design and decor is clearly trying to reflect an more 'upmarket' (if generic looking) American burger place. It is definitely a step above a fast food franchise 'look', with a U-shaped large open dining area, dark wooden tables and seats,  banquettes, and a semi-open kitchen. Situated on a floor with a few other eating outlets, it was the most popular amongst them on the day of my visit.

It has been a while since there was a burger post by any of us, so it seemed, on this sunny Spring day, as good a day as any to have a burger to accompany the day's watch, the hefty horological timepice known as the Polaris, one of Audemars Piguet's Team Alinghi Limited Editions.

A couple of tweets back, I got a message from the food division of the 'Sydney Tarts', advising that the burgers at Byron's were reputedly worth a bite.

If anyone takes the time to recommend something to me (and they know how critical I can be ;-)), I always take up their suggestion.

A search of Byron website brings up a number of venue options in and around London, and the first impression you get on the main web page is that they are more than just another 'Burger joint'.  Their website emphasises that they use grass fed Scottish beef from small farms, that their meat is freshly ground at 5am every day, and served on in-house baked buns. 

Byron seems all about the genuine burger taste, freshly baked buns, aged beef, and not something that is just squeezed in a box or served with 60s background music.

So it was that one day, in-between World Cup games and trolling the West End for fine antique watch shops that, I took a break and visited the Byron's on Wardour St. This branch is in one of the more colourful neighbourhoods on the Byron list of venues.

PAM 203, PAM 249, PAM 90

I had to make do with a couple of bread rolls and a Daniel JeanRichard Bressel Chronograph, about which more can be read here. It wasn't terribly adventurous, as far as food and watch shots go, but well, it wasn't an adventurous kind of day.

This lack of adventure extended to a sudden massive craving for tapas. It didn't have to be earthshatteringly good tapas, just something solid, reliable, filling, and umm, nearby.

Jamón Serrano ($14)

Jamón Serrano (literally "mountain ham") is not quite jamón ibérico, but few of us can afford to eat jamón ibérico frequently!  Jamón Serrano is a an everyday ham; the Spaniards believe that it has a deeper and more complex flavour than its Italian cousin, proscuitto. This was a generous serving, freshly sliced, and exactly what the tapas doctor ordered.

Champiñones a la Plancha ($11.50)

Barbecued whole button mushrooms with white wine garlic and parsley

The champiñones were fine and rather unexpectional, but a little low on the garlic for my personal tastes (yes I know that they weren't champiñones al ajillo but I could barely taste the garlic!). As was the case with the Jamón , it was a generously sized portion.

Gambas Picantes ($16.50)
Peeled prawns cooked in a spicy tomato & garlic sauce

The prawns were more successful than the mushrooms. Firm, sweet, and with just a small amount of picante kick.  The sauce was happily mopped up to the very last drop with the bread rolls provided.  As a side note, perhaps the Spanish restaurants in that informal Spanish Quarter could reconsider their bread rolls.....and butter packets....

Sardinas a la Plancha ($12.50)

Grilled ("a la plancha" means "grilled") fresh sardines with lemons - bones aside, this is one of life's most basic pescatorial pleasures. These sardines were nicely grilled, the flesh still firm and not overcooked. Another example of something simple solidly done.

Last but not least, one final shot of the DJR, just for the road....

Could I have fries with that?

Finding myself in Newtown one recent weekday around lunchtime, I remembered reading @GastroPorn tweeting about one of her favourite burgers at Burgerfuel. Well, I figured, why not?

Despite it not being on the regular menu, the Wagyu Burger seems to be permanently on the "Specials" menu, which makes me wonder why they don't simply add it to the former.

Maybe they think that would make it less "special"? Maybe they want to save on printing costs and don't want to print out new menus? Maybe because one day, it will be replaced as a "special"?  Maybe it is still going through a probationary period?

Then again, maybe I am the only one pondering this conundrum?

What ho! Burgerfuel have figured it out - 12 permanent combinations!

Wagyu Burger with Cheese ($12.90)

Described thus : "1/3lb ground Wagyu beef, melted swiss cheese, caramelised onion, horseradish sour cream, salad and relish", the one element I'd not been certain about was the horseradish sour cream, as I am not a huge horseradish fan.  Fortunately, the horseradish was not overwhelming but pleasant though it was, I'm more of a tomato sauce burger type of person.

Aided by generous servings of lettuce (though I'd wish that they'd been a little bit more interesting on the lettuce choice front), tomato and onions, the beef patty was juicy, the cheese decent and the burger itself of a good size, resulting in some degree of onions and the like oozing out during the consumption process, but not too much as to be messy and a struggle. 

This isn't the best burger I've had in Sydney, but the Wagyu Burger at Burgerfuel is nonetheless a good burger that I'd eat again, and it is worth having if you're in the area. It is without doubt a better burger than the one I have previous had at a cafe nearby to Burgerfuel whose name I'll not mention but it is on the other side of the road, down a bit, before the cinema. That burger was just dire.    

I've never thought of Angus beef as being an aspirational beef.

17 July 2009

We were meant to be having lunch at Ryo's, @antiquebookshop and I, only it didn’t turn out that way, as Ryo’s is closed until sometime next week (I think it was 22 July). It already being quite late in the lunch hour (2.15pm), and Antique Bookshop being more pressed for time than he had anticipated, we headed off down the road to Not Bread Alone instead.

Having ordered, it was naturally time for we Tarts to get some tableshots of whatever happened to be on our wrists that day.

Left - Daniel JeanRichard Bressel chronograph
Right – Panerai PAM 250 “Daylight”

The DJR Bressel has a Dubois-Depraz 2020 module riveted onto a refinished ETA 2824-2 movement. As this blog is a food & watch blog, for those who don’t know and who wish to, a “télémètre” scale measures the distance between (in this case a watch wearer) based on the speed of sound. That is, the distance between a wearer and an object that generates a visible signal and a loud noise such as an electrical storm. I’ve never actually used it and to be honest am not entirely sure how to...

The PAM250 “Daylight” is named after the Sylvester Stallone film of the same name. Stallone purchased his first Panerai in Rome whilst filming “Daylight”, and there are some good screenshots of him wearing the watch here, as well as other “Panerai moments” in the movies. He liked the Panerai that he purchased so much that he had the company make 200 more of them (“Slytech”) with his signature on the back, which he handed out as gifts.

Having a watch named after a Stallone film is either a plus or a minus, depending on your own personal preferences, but the watch itself has to a large extent transcended its naming origins. Stallone has joked about Panerais being “perfect for people over 45 years old”, because of the ease of reading the time on large watches.

The brand of “Daniel Jeanrichard”, now simply JeanRichard, is named after the man considered as the father of the Jura watchmakers. It is believed that the then fifteen year old Daniel, a blacksmith’s apprentice, was given the opportunity to see his very first watch. It was a broken timepiece brought back from England by a horse dealer. Daniel studied and mended it, then made a copy. One year later, he created his very own watch, the first ever manufactured in the region.

PAM250 Wearing Person chose the Not Bread Alone Club Sandwich ($10.50).

which consisted of “chicken, avocado, bacon, mixed leaf [sic], cucumber, Spanish onion on Turkish”, whilst DJR Wearing Person chose the Salt & Pepper Squid with mixed leaf salad and lemon aioli ($17.90 for main size).

The club sandwich was suitably satisfactory to its eater, but the Salt & Pepper Squid was actually a bit on the salty side, even for S&P squid. This saltiness lead to a somewhat regrettable decision.

The decision was that I really needed something sweet.

Perhaps the Apple Pie milkshake that I’d seen on NotQuiteNigella would be the perfect neutraliser?

Why just have a milkshake, I thought? I should have something else, given that I was there, after all.....

Mini Cheeseburgers ($11) – Plate of four topped with Cheddar, Red Onions, Pickles and Red relish.

Mistake.

Total mistake.

Couldn’t finish Apple Pie shake, which was like trying to drink (or rather spoon) crushed up apple pie, ice cream and perhaps a token ml or two of milk.

Couldn’t finish the miniburgers, which I had actually assumed were going to be small two-bite sized ones.

Dinner that night = nothing.

A TALE OF THREE BURGERS

It all started with the Rockpool Wagyu Burger. In the last month, I have eaten three burgers, which is more than I normally eat in a year. Although the flavouring (and especially the brioche bun) of the Rockpool Burger was good, the experience had been been soured by the presence two things that should not have been there. I am prepared to give most places more than one chance, so I will return there at some point to see if I fare better on a second occasion.

I had yet to have Plan B’s Wagyu Burger, but having been struck by burgermania, it was onward ho.

Herewith, the $10 Plan B burger, described as “600-day grain fed wagyu beef burger”.

A significant $8 cheaper than the Rockpool one, I found it quite different. The sesame seeds on the bun were a welcoming “old school” item, but I must confess that tastewise, I preferred the Rockpool brioche. The patty itself was saltier than Rockpool’s, and with a little bit of charred crunch to its exterior, but unfortunately, fell apart as soon as I cut the burger in half (for ease of consumption). Needless to say, the fork came in handy. I did enjoy the beetroot, another “old school” item.

Part way into the burger, I began to wonder whether I was just unlucky, or had been jinxed by some sort of manic Burger Diety, as lo and behold, I encountered two unexpected visitors again, only in this case, it wasn’t gristle and cartilage, but gristle and well, you can see for yourself....




I could do nothing but laugh resignedly at this point, but it did make me turn slightly monomaniacal about having another burger sooner rather than later. This time, I thought that I’d go with the “non wagyu” approach, but still target a location where I’d hope that the burger would maybe be a bit interesting, and at the very least, tasty, and in a price range between Rockpool and Plan B. Maybe I'd get lucky.

The destination was by chance rather than planning, and it was the GPO Oyster Bar. Their $15.50 beef burger, described as “Pure beef pattie [sic] (160g) seasoned with onions and garlic and served with egg, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, mayonnaise in a buttered Panini and served with chips” was presented as follows –



I think that the photo speaks for itself – the presentation is rather basic, the patty is considerably flatter than the other two, and the egg rather institutional in appearance. The chips were as they appear, rather ordinary.

A cross section gives a better indication of the innards -

What can I say? It was a burger. It wasn’t an exciting burger, but of the three that I’ve eaten this year, it was the only one gristle free.

Snacks on One

Sydney
NSW 2000

Lunch : 16 June 2009

Due to an unexpected set of circumstances, Tart Co-Pilot Tom and myself managed to meet up one day for a horological session of visits to a watch retailer/ watchmaker and another watchmaker, followed by a lunch which surprised me.

Watchstop the first was for me to pick up a vintage Vulcain Cricket which I had purchased from a seller (not in Australia) from whom I will never buy from again, as the watches that I purchased from him on my single visit, all of which I’d been assured were serviced and a-okay, were not, resulting in a not insubstantial further expenditure on my part in order to get them functional. Two of the watches were purchased as gifts, including this Vulcain.

The Vulcain Cricket was introduced in 1947 as the world’s first mechanical wristwatch with an alarm. Their marketing campaign as “the President’s watch” lies in the tradition of each US President since Harry Truman having been given one as a gift. Upon his inauguration, President Obama received an Anniversary Heart, a model celebrating Vulcain’s sesquicentenary, but with a specially engraved Presidential caseback.

Robert Ditisheim, designer of the alarm, used a cricket’s prominent chirp as his inspiration, designing a resonance chamber formed by fitting a two part back to the watch case. The inner part of the back is responsible for the alarm sound when it is struck by the hammer. The outer part of the back allows the sound generating inner back to oscillate freely.

After picking up the Cricket, we walked a little way to visit Max, where I picked up my “Devil’s watch”, as one of the Tarts refers to it as being. This kind moniker is due to the the rather bizarre way in which its crystal broke in December last year. Max had put in a new crystal, and after a very long and protracted farce of ridiculous proportions with Jean Richard and their local agents Avstev, I finally had my watch back!

It being lunchtime, and I being in need of sustenance, Tom took me to the nearby Bowlers’ Club, where another Tart had taken him for lunch in the past. Going upstairs to the Snacks on One, I admit that I was feeling somewhat apprehensive, as what little experience I’ve had with “club food” has been rather forgettable, to put it mildly.

What do watchnuts do when they are waiting for food? They take table shots of course!

Nomos Orion Rose-Gold, Vulcain Cricket, JeanRichard Bressel Classic, Patria

The paper on which the watches are placed are the instructions for operating the Cricket, kindly provided by watchmaker Geoff. Trust me, you need instructions!

And then it was time for lunch! I had the Ciabatta Open Steak Sandwich & Chips ($14.50)

which was described as “Minute Steak w baby rocket, oven roasted tomato, caramelised onion, garlic mayo”, and Tom had a Barbequed Ranch Burger & Chips ($13.50) -

- a “grilled beef pattie (sic) served w lettuce, tomato, bacon & homemade chutney”.

Well I learnt my lesson about being presumptive about club food, as my steak sandwich was good. Steak sandwiches are one of my favourite things to eat, and I still have fond memories of what was then considered (by Canberra standards) to be an expensive steak sandwich (at some $4) served at a small cafe in the suburban Jamison Centre shopping precinct when I was young.

The ciabatta was nicely toasted, with crunchy crust and chewyish innards. The oven roasted tomato was a nice change from the usual tomato slices that I seem to encounter, the baby rocket etc fresh, the steak itself decent, and the garlic mayonnaise arguably the thing that kicked it into the “goal!” area for me. I love garlic, and having garlicky bread made it almost seem as though I was having a sort of semi garlic bread steak sandwich. I know that this might not work for everyone, but I can say that it worked for me, and that on those days when I am simply in the mood for a solid sort of a sandwich, I’m going to head here. It beats the last steak sandwich I had, which is the double decker one at the Sanctuary Hotel, hands down, and the chips weren’t bad either!

Oh, and I am reliably informed that the burger was tasty too.... :) :)

Rockpool Bar & Grill

Rockpool Bar & Grill
66 Hunter Street
Sydney NSW 2000
Ph : (02) 8708 1900

Lunch : 18 June 2009

I had finally decided to go to Rockpool Bar & Grill to try their famous Wagyu burger, purported to be the best burger in Sydney (and Melbourne, for Rockpool at Crown Casino). Sometimes I wonder whether burgers are one of those food items where I like the idea of them more than I seem to like the reality of them or whether, in fact, it’s just that I inevitably feel so full after I finish one that it can easily be half a year before I have another.

People match food with wine so why not try to match a watch with a meal? Some of the men of Tarts obsessively match the metal of their watches (and even watch straps) to the metal of their belts, but how would I match a watch to a burger?

It was raining the proverbial cats and dogs but I was determined to finally take the wagyu burger plunge, wearing my red 12 Vostok.

Vostok (Восток), meaning “East”, has its origins in 1942 when the plants of the First Moscow Watch Factory were evacuated to Christopol, a small town on the Kama River in Tatarstan. During those war years, the factory only produced defense equipment, but watch production commenced post WWII, although they weren’t properly called “Vostok” until the 1960s. In 1965, the company was appointed official supplier of watches to the Soviet Ministry of Defence. That year also marked the launch of the "Komandirskie" (Commander) watch. By 1980, Vostok Watch Makers were producing 4.5 million timepieces per annum.

It was 1.40pm or thereabouts when I arrived at Rockpool, only to discover that not only was the Bar area full, but that I’d have to wait for about 15mins if I wanted a table. Well I was damned if I wasn’t going to get my Wagyu Burger so off I went to browse nearby (including an unsuccessful attempt to track a copy of “Blogger for Dummies” at the nearby Dymocks LOL), returning at about 2pm.

There were now two tables free at the Bar, but it didn’t appear that the GFC was affecting the main Rockpool dining room much that day, as it was pretty much near capacity when I arrived.

The Bar area is a smallish cosy area, surprisingly understated in its decor and service that was welcoming and professional. As soon as I took off my raincoat someone was there to take it and return with a claim ticket, and within mere nanoseconds, the phone book sized wine etc lists and the smaller menu, were put in front of me.

I have some half a dozen odd “red 12” watches, but have yet to definitively figure out whether there is a significance to the red colour. One of the theories is that the colouring was to allow the wearer to see, at a quick glance, the location of the number 12. This was because many of the early forms of wristwatches did not have a standardised location for “12”, especially in relation to the position of the crown. Further, many early (or “transitional) wristwatches, were simply pocket watches which had been adapted to wrist use.

Often “red 12s” seem also to be called “trench watches” or “officer’s watches”, linked with WWI being the first war in which wristwatches appeared in “the trenches”, as it were. There seems to be a common thread of “red 12s” being of military origin but then again, there are many trench watches without red 12s, and I have read of and seen one or two pictures of early women’s wristwatches with red 12s.

Here is my earliest “red 12” watch, which I purchased from a Sydney watchmaker.




and here is its more modern Soviet descendent, which dined with me that day :




I chose the Vostok to match the Wagyu burger because I liked the irony of a Soviet watch with a premium burger, and because I was hoping that this much vaunted burger would in fact be somewhat “red” inside.

Feeling as though I should order more than the burger, which did not come with any sides, I decided to take the plunge, although every fibre of my being protested at the idea of paying $12 for a serve of chips, and ordered them as well.

After an extraordinarily short wait, which suited me just fine, out came my very own inaugural David Blackmore’s Full Blood Wagyu Hamburger with Bacon, Gruyere Cheese and Zuni Pickle ( $18)



upon whose arrival the waiter asked me whether I would like some tomato sauce (yes please – why do they call it “ketchup” on the menu?)


and followed shortly by my hand cut chips




The verdict : Now THAT is a burger. A brioche like bun, lightly toasted, a juicy patty still pink inside and a bit crusty around the edges (yum), an unexpected thin slice of zucchini, just enough cheese to add to the taste of the burger but not overwhelm it. The slices of tomato and lettuce on the plate were a bit unexpected but the former were sweet and both the tomato & lettuce was lightly salted and peppered. The burger seems small in size but it’s actually quite filling.

The tomato sauce, made in house, was smoky and quite pleasant, but I have yet to meet a tomato sauce which matches my personal favourite, from the Little Hand Stirred Jam Shop in Berrima.

The $12 hand cut chips? Well yes they were good chips, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside etc, but the burger would have been more than sufficient to fill me up, and good as they were, I’m not sure that for me at least, they were $12 worth of tasty.

The verdict? I learnt that yes, burgers are definitely one of those “eat infrequently” things for me because they seem to fill me up more than many other foods, but the OMGthisisgood response when I had my first bite, which remained until the last bite, means that I’ll definitely go back. There were two literally small things that detracted from what would have otherwise been a 100% burger for me but hopefully next time All Will Be Well. Next up, Plan B’s Wagyu Burger! [AP]
