Garhoud next to Chilis ... i personally never liked furuckers although i havent tried the one here. I would have to agree with Brisbane. The #12 at Johnny Rockets is the best burger in town ! |

| Park al local pool side restaurant are serving wagi beef burgers not cheap though but tasty as fuck Whats the Kobe Beef?

Sushi - Series 5 Sushi - Series 4 Sushi - Series 3 Sushi - Series 2 Sushi - Series 1 To understand where all this hype started we need to first go back to Japan, to 1868, when the first foreign trading port opened in the city of Kobe on the west coast of Japan. At this time Kobe enjoyed a heavy influx of foreign visitors, and it wasn't long before word got around about the astonishingly rich and amazing taste of the Kobe Beef. Kobe Beef was soon regarded as one of the main highlights of visiting Japan. Kobe Beef comes from a breed of cattle called Wagyu, which are significantly higher in yield grade and marbling (speckled fat markings) and have been selectively bred over many hundreds of years, making them regarded as far superior to all other cattle breeds found elsewhere in the world. "The cows are regularly brushed and massaged, to stimulate and relax them" What makes Kobe Beef particularly tasty is the way in which the farmers look after their cattle, with a level of pampering and attention that would be more commonly associated with the raising of a thorough bred race horse. The cows are regularly brushed and massaged, to stimulate and relax them. More surprisingly, these lucky cows are also raised on regular helpings of beer...yes, beer! The reason for the beer is apparently to stimulate the stomach wall and serve to increase the cow's appetite. The beer is also said to help with decreasing bacteria within the cow, making them healthier, and therefore producing a higher quality beef. The popularity and media attention of Kobe Beef has exploded over reason years with Hollywood stars, such as Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg spreading the word on its amazingly delicate and velvety taste. Not surprising, Kobe Beef was also high on the menu for this year's Oscar Award ceremony. Kobe Beef has become increasingly exclusive outside of Japan, particularly in super high class restaurants in London and New York, where the order of the day appears to be Shabu-shabu (meaning swish-swish), referring to the swishing action of thinly sliced pieces of beef cooked in hot water. Due to the exclusivity of this delicacy, people are prepared to pay the equivalent of between £50 and £100 for a Kobe Beef steak in a restaurant in Japan. "The ban on the real imported Kobe Beef has bought about illegal smuggling" Before 2001, Kobe Beef was exported to the USA and UK, however due to the threat of mad cow disease this was stopped, and now you are only able to eat Wagyu beef that has been produced from Wagyu cattle bred outside of Japan. This is not to say it is not of the same extremely high quality, as these are genuine Wagyu cows bred to exact specifications. The ban on the real imported Kobe Beef has also bought about illegal smuggling, known as the dealing of 'red diamonds', for people wanting to experience the genuinely authentic Japanese cuisine, Kobe Beef. |

| RIEL |
| So Brisbane-you need bigger thrills! Actually since space invaders disappeared I am not keen on games either but my kids like them! Ok for an hour but after that I've had enough-I prefer the beach. :) |
| gangster |
| i second, third and forth the beach, but as i dont like sand i propose the pool. |
| RIEL |
| :idea: You don't like the beach if you don't like sand!! :lol: |
| gangster |
| true but in UK we have beaches with pebbles so nooooooo sand lol. I dont do sand period pmsl |
| RIEL |
| Pebbles-yer, right! That's not a beach!! Oooh ah! :? |
| gangster |

| RIEL |
| :lol: :lol: I don't know richmc! But I still know I am laughing about your cart tart story! :lol: :lol: Back to burgers! There is every fast food joint here you can imagine and almost everything delivers. Hardees are better than Maccas and Burger King (Hungry Jacks). You'll like shawarma (??spelling), like yiros, you come from Melb so maybe it's kebab-you know pita bread with marinated lamb, chicken , salad and tzatziki!! |

Sounds like an Aussie Burger (with beetroot) from Hungry Jacks (Burger King)... the proper one will have bacon as well, but prob won't get that here. |
| RIEL |
| Geez- more Aussies than you can poke a stick at!! The Aussie burger was invented in my state :P -the beetroot was crinckle cut, as was the egg wobbly on the bottom-from memory- so not to fall off the burger ie friction. Don't ya love Physics!! :) |
