Bilby’s Chargrilled Burgers
published on 3rd February, 2010

When I wake up hungover I eventually (after much to chuck, or not to chuck musing) come to the same thought…burger. Yet who can be fucked moving let alone trying to decipher the Transperth website. This agoraphobia is compounded by the realisation I lost my sunglasses last night (again) so I won’t be able to ‘hide’ from commuters.

Despite all this, Bilby’s in Claremont makes any sort of hungover public-transport ordeal worthwhile. Tucked behind the show grounds, this little slice of burger heaven serves up the best value gourmet burgers south of Alfred’s. The quality / quantity ratio has been blown to bits by Bilby’s – these are big burgers! This time I had the “City Slicker” with whole char-grilled field mushrooms on sun-dried tomato pesto, caramelized onion, eggplant, char-grilled capsicum, feta cheese, salad and basil aioli carefully stacked between 2 whole grain buns (baked on site).

You can feed yourself and get home (on a 1 zone concession) for under 10 bucks! And, unlike some lesser burger barns, it’ll stay down regardless of your condition.
