Quote of the meal: ‘Why has it been so long since I’ve blogged?’For weeks I had an insatiable craving for a burger and chips. I had all my hopes vested in this mouth watering delight to cure my winter blues. Luckily, this instinct was right. Following Agenda’s recommendation, I tried out the fresh off-the-boat burger bar on Toorak Rd formerly known as Drugstore Espresso. But let’s forget the burger and get straight to that deep fried goodness! Thick, salty and fried to perfection, these chips were heavenly. Evocative of an American classic from a diner with a modern twist of the trendy Melbourne cafe scene, these are difficult to fault. It was evident that these chips have not seen the inside of the freezer, and is true to the menu’s word of ‘house cut chips.’ There was a thin gap between the skin and the interior, exemplifying the crispness whilst the inside remained soft and gooey. The barely present potato skin emphasised that they were home-made and ensured extra crunch. Sauce is completely unnecessary and these thick chips were the hero of the dish, deeming the burger almost irrelevant. Recommend as a late night snack after a night out in Chapel or as a 3pm break on a lazy Monday afternoon to satisfy a winter craving.
