They might have dropped it from their regular menu, but it is back as three special burgers. (the bbq one is really delicious too, tasting like a restaurant burger than a fast food burger)Originally Posted by drifand
The Angus beef was only showing up a few years ago everywhere because the price of beef was down globally, and the glut had seen our export beef (the good stuff like Angus and Wagyu) end up staying in Australia.
It was never going to be permanent, but younger folk would probably think it was because they don't remember back to when we never saw it in fast food places. And I imagine that the price of beef has been going up again, so you will see less of it in fast food places, and more often a limited edition, expensive item, if at all. (until the price of beef exports plummets again)
Speaking of burgers... how about this low-carb option - the Tomami Burger at MOS Burger.
Yes, that is a whole Tomato in place of a bun.
I don't think it is meant to be much of a seller, and I doubt anyone would buy it except for the novelty value, as those who like burgers are not usually fans of eating whole veges like tomatoes (actually a fruit), and those who would love eating a whole tomato probably wouldn't be too keen about it being contaminated with a beef patty and sauce.
The person making it up for me had to refer to the burger construction guide several times, so it seemed that it was vary rarely bought at that location (and was probably his first time making one).
It's $5.75, and has a Wagyu patty, Thousand Island sauce, onion and lettuce.
It's not all weird burgers at MOS Burger though, this month they have some really nice Wagyu Burgers, including this one called the works burger, with bacon, egg, beetroot, cheese, lettuce, and probably a few other things in there... I was too busy eating this delicious burger to notice.
