While I am not a supporter of that particular company, it is nevertheless a guiding beacon that the correct burger is available within, and is constructed in the proper way. And if there's a Chico Roll for sale as well, you know you're in the right place. | {{ :burgers:burger02.jpg?direct&300|}}It is generally accepted that the signal for the correct establishment is the presence of a Coca Cola sign out the front.

| If a burger shop labels their product as "World famous", it is not a proper burger. Nor are "Nations Best", "Award Winning", "Region's Finest" or any other claim. A good burger stands purely on it's merits. | If a burger shop labels their product as "World famous", it is not a proper burger.

| I have to pay tribute to the Sunrise Cafe that existed in the centre of Civic Canberra for around half a century and was the last bastion of hope in the city until a few years ago. The food, the company and the decor were all friendly and authentic. I hope the owner is still doing well today. The shop was replaced with, as is often the case: a dispenser of cappuccinos. | I have to pay tribute to the Sunrise Cafe that existed in the centre of Civic Canberra for around half a century and was the last bastion of hope in the city until a few years ago.

| To understand the culture and significance of the great Australian takeaway, there is no better resource than the book: [[https://milkbarsbook.com/products/milkbarsbook|The MILK BARS Book by Eamon Donnelly]], which is sadly out of print. But it does the topic much more justice than I can. Thanks to my mate Treb for finding this for me. | To understand the culture and significance of the great Australian takeaway, there is no better resource than the book: [[https://milkbarsbook.com/products/milkbarsbook|The MILK BARS Book by Eamon Donnelly]], which is sadly out of print.
