I barely saw the slaw!

A pity, the potaters certainly have the look of being extremely tasty but I can see how it wouldn't stack up

I'm finding a lot (a majority) of the non-big-chain burgers in Australia are just targeting peoples addiction to fat. I know fat = flavor but they aren't sourcing and grinding good quality meat, throw onto that too much cheese, too much sauce, and it seem to be just a big mess made to trigger peoples "reward pathways" and addiction to fat.

99% of the time your better off with a Whopper from HJ's.

It blows me away seeing some of the patronage these places making tasteless grease burgers get, but I guess if you're targeting an addiction it makes more sense.

There's a stupid number of smash burger gimmick places that have super soft buns, too much cheese and sauce and it just turns into one greasy textureless mess.I think it is more instagram able cheeze/sauce ooze rather than a fat addiction, however people are definitely less scared of fat. kfc in Australia is rebranding back to Kentucky fried chicken because people aren't scared of it like they were in the 90s.

Not sure where you are, but this isn't really the case in Perth. There are a tonne of independents popping up all the time, but the ones that rate are generally using the Gold Standard chuck/brisket or chuck/brisket/short rib mix. Fat content is obviously up there because if you're making smash burgers or even formed patty burgers without egg/breadcrumbs etc you need it to be north of 20% or it falls apart on the grill or tastes like cardboard. Buns are usually potato - either house-made or from a local bakery that makes good potato rolls and distributes them to butchers and Spudshed, aka the Costco of Fresh Produce. Occasionally Brioche but typically on the better end of the scale in that case. Cheese is generally hi-melt American, and I don't feel that it's overdone. The good places make their own sauces, and typically don't overdo it.

There will always be try-hards that take a good thing and ruin it by pushing it too far, but that's fine, just don't eat there. I look at places like Milky Lane, which has just opened up a franchise here, and am actually doubting I will enjoy it more than any of my top 3 - but I have a thing for purity and the formula, I have an idea of how a good burger should taste, feel, and hold together. I have mates that love that place and the over the top ridiculousness of it, and it's probably because for them, going to a top-tier burger joint is a once-in-a-few-months pig-out-fetish thing.

Milky Lane is excellent here in Brisbane, hope they're as good there too. This was my last burg there. Simple but excellent.

I had pulled pork burgers today, and somehow managed to get it just right where the miracle whip on the bottom and the melted cheese over it (heated for a few seconds in the microwave to get it melty) prevented the bun from being soggy, while the coleslaw was just exactly the right amount of acidic to offset the pulled pork deliciousness from being soaked in its own juices after being pulled apart when coming off the grill.
Overall, a huge success, that I wish I'd taken pictures of - but unfortunately, it was too delicious for me to remember.

I'm coming to really like tossing a whole rear end slice of onion on the pan after I smash the patties, then stacking the patties on the slice of onion until it's soft.

The one thing we don't really have here that would be nice to be able to get more easily is liquid-at-room temperature cheese/queso. Yeah it's basically a petrochemical product, but every now and then a jar of tostitos jar cheese is a fun time.

You can make a tasty knockoff if you have sodium citrate. You can even use quality cheese for it.

Also Miracle Whip was the preferred condiment of my parents growing up, so I can't really poo-pooh it entirely, since multiple neurons in my brain fire off happy signals to this day upon tasting it.
