My lovely father, who recently moved up to Brisvegas for work, is down for the weekend. So naturally, I conned him into taking my brother and I to dinner for "bonding time". My best friend raves about Burger Lounge in Eltham so we decided to check it out. Some have even said they deliver the best burgers in Melb (big call!).
The menu had so many burger options that it took a while to choose what to order. The vegetarian burgers sounded amazing- things like homemade roasted pumpkin and kumera pattie with feta, walnuts & basil pesto coated in japanese panko breadcrumbs ($11.50) or roasted pumpkin, chargrilled red capsicum, crispy eggplant & crumbed zucchini ($11).
When we decided which burgers we wanted, we ordered some onion rings as a side. I couldn't tell you the last time I had onion rings (it must have been hungry jacks) and these were unlike any I had tried before. Mmmmm deep fried crunchy goodness...

Dad ordered the "grande" burger- prime organic beef, grilled caramelised pineapple, swiss cheese, fresh avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, relish & herb aioli ($13.50)

My brother ordered the "lounge signature burger", pretty much because the meat pattie was stuffed with cheese.

| Prime beef pattie stuffed with havarti cheese, basted with a balsamic glaze, pickled cucumber, red onion, lettuce, tomato, relish & herb aioli ($13) |
And as if I hadn't had enough to eat already, I really wanted to try some of the "Petula". They were albanian donuts, which were served with honey & pistachio topping. I was already so full so didn't enjoy them as much as I would have if I hadn't downed a massive burger 5 minutes before :S
