I joined a burger club.
The burger club were going to Bar Luca. I needed to bring my A-game.
Once I saw a bus caught on a round-a-bout. How did that happen?
Did the other bus drivers make fun of that bus driver? Or does it happen all the time?
The burger club went to Bar Luca. It’s on Philip Street in Sydney.
I didn’t know that guy. The burger club was near the back of the bar.
We went up to order. Every person in the burger club was getting the “Blame Canada” which had wagyu beef, maple bacon, cheese, poutine and aioli. Poutine is made from fries, cheese curds and gravy.
I had my A-game ready. Burger or bust. No more chicken sandwiches for me.
The lead in the burger club ordered.
“One Blame Canada!”
“Sorry. We’re out of beef.”
“Huh?”
“No beef. We ran out.”
“But… But… We’re the burger club!”
“We can make you a Blame Canada with Chicken.”
“Oh OK. I guess. OK.”
I hesitated. Then I ordered the “Chicken Karaage Burger” with wasabi aioli, pickles, coriander and lettuce. I added jalapeños to my burger because it’s 2016. Go fusion or go home. Catch up.
The Blame Canada was massive. The Chicken Karaage sandwich had a lot of Kewpie on it and chicken with Kewpie generally works out OK. Kewpie is like mayonnaise on crack. In the supermarket it has a picture of a baby on it. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg and vinegar. It’s mostly oil. Kewpie is mayonnaise with added MSG and probably dashi. Aioli is mayonnaise with garlic in it. To make a wasabi aioli I would probably buy the green kewpie with wasabi already in it and then add garlic. Or I’d just use plain Kewpie. Because.
One day I will eat a burger.
The chicken sandwich was OK.
The Food was OK
