Burger Got Soul

For Sunday lunch, my most favourite friend from grade 11, Darcy and I went to Burger Got Soul on Charles Street. Despite being one of the most popular places for young people to go for a meal, it was the first time I had been here since early 2008. It was a nice day and they had outdoor seating on the street which was full and inside they have a dining room and one other room, also used for dining as well as the service area. The menu is written on the wall.

 I was temped by their special The Veg Weg, and with such a name, one would assume it was a vegetarian burger. It isn't. It does have a [really delicious] vege pattie in it, but I did have to ask for it to be without bacon. I ordered mine on a wholemeal bun, all the salad inside was really fresh and seemed to be really good quality. Also one of the best vege patties too; ie. didn't taste entirely of chickpeas/lentils.

Darcy had the Ali G with added brie on Turkish bread. He also said that his burger was very tasty.

Everyone raves about Burger Got Soul chips and their sauces being the best in town, however, we didn't have any this time around.

Despite how hard the burgers are to eat, they're super delicious. All burgers are around $12 (slightly more expensive for a steak burger, which I believe to be $16-$17) and a serving of chips is under $5.

I should also mention that you can buy BGS to take away and also pre-order over the phone.

Keep posted for my comparison blog coming soon; Flip vs BGS.

Charles Street: The Paris End

Charles Street in Launceston is known for it's food. Lined with a huge variety of cafes, restaurants and grocers, when stuck for ideas Charles Street is where we will always go first. Specifically the end of the street which locals refer to as  The Paris End - if heading out from town you will know you have arrived if you see a cute, tree lined street - bustling with cars. The Paris End is also home of the Launceston General Hospital and now, the unmissable gigantic Hotel Charles (the largest, whitest, ritziest, most exorbitant hotel for such a small town).

Starting from St Prince's Square some of the dining you will come by are;

• Fresh - the only vegetarian restaurant in town. There will be so many reviews coming on this place soon. Being vegetarian, I come here more than I'm willing to admit.
• Elaia Cafe - I have written two reviews on here so far, here and here.
• Burger Got Soul - Notably the best burger place in Launceston.
• Cafe Mondello
• Sporties Bar - It is exactly as it sounds. I've heard the food here is incredible, however it's still on my list of 'Places I Haven't Been'.
• Aroma's - Another cafe which I've only had the pleasure of stopping in for a coffee.

I will soon write about the restaurants down the other end of Charles street (think Indian, Chinese & more cafes and bars!)
