Best Burgers
Shane checks out some of Melbournes best burgers, starting with a very posh version at The Botanical in South Yarra. They use Wagyu beef which is regarded as the best eating beef in the world along with a duck egg making the $29 experience worth every penny. For some, the burger is practically a religious experience and people have been making the pilgrimage to Andrews Hamburgers in Albert Park since 1957. The burgers are big at this old school traditional burger joint. And finally, if youre looking for a high-end burger experience on a low-end budget, then head right down the road to the newly renovated Hotel Nest for their $16.50 tasty treats.
