Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

Burgerlicious

@ 215 King Street, Newtown

There are three "burger" places in Newtown and Burgerlicious was the first. The menu is quite extensive and the service is fast, you can choose to have chips or salad with your burger or, alternatively, you can go the skinny mini and order the bunless burger. The downside to this, you still have to pay the same price as if you ordered a normal burger. And once the bun is taken away, is it even still a burger? Oh, the philosophical talks we could share on that one!

Talks aside, these are burgers and they're good. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, they're nothing fantastic, amazing, but they do the job. If I had to choose one of the three though, Burgerlicious pales in comparison with Burger Fuel's eco-friendly appeal and Moo's gourmet mega burgers. Come for the name and the fame that is Burgerlicious, but don't expect any profound revelations upon leaving this establishment.

    I'm not a fan of Moo and haven't been to Burger Fuel, so I guess I'll stay away from Burgerlicious. Besides, I don't like the 80s logo :)
