Johnny loved Burger Queen

The hardest part about a trip to Burger Queen is choosing from the menu. There’s three columns of options on the blackboard to tempt you, with around 10 to 12 in each. I left there kicking myself because I didn’t ask what the record is for the longest time spent choosing a burger. All that aside we come to the easiest part about a trip to Burger Queen: the masticating. My choice was the Beast Burger, named after NZ Warrior Manu Vatuvei, and it was as hard to tackle as the man himself, but only much, much more enjoyable. The thing towered over my can of Sprite, a steaming stack of awesome wrapped in tinfoil. Beef, steak (yes, both), bacon, chicken, egg, caramelised onion, lettuce, mayo and special sauce. I thought of words of comfort from the Mitre 10 Mega guy, “BIG IS GOOD”, as I powered through it, then fell into a beautiful food coma. This place is legendary, you must try it.
