All the trendy burger joints are typically located on popular cafe strips and busy main roads. When I heard 127 Days were out in the middle of the western surburbs, I was thinking burgers from a fish and chip shop. I couldn’t have been more wrong. 127 Days actually have a decent selection of gourmet…

Haddo’s Hot Dogs
I’ve heard great things about Haddo’s Hot Dogs and it’s always been on my list of places to try. Unfortunately, our paths have never crossed, until this morning when they were setup at the Flinders Street Markets. Hot dogs from a food truck is nothing new, but the point of difference with Haddo’s are their…
Burger Foundry – St Morris – New Store
Burger Foundry is arguably one of the best burger joints in Adelaide. I still have fond memories of how good their burgers were, when I last visited their previous store. The problem with the old store was that there were only a handful of seats, and it never really was dine in friendly. As the…
TGI Fridays
I’ve actually been to T.G.I. Friday’s when I was in the States many years ago and I remember having quite a pleasant experience. I know this place had been in Adelaide for several years now, but because I don’t live in the area, I’ve never had the chance to check them out. I’ve also read…
Yankee Cafe
With the number of American fast food stores opening up around the city, South Australia is slowly becoming the next American state. Yankee Cafe is the latest to open it’s doors and is located literally metres away from Henley Beach. The cafe is tastefully decorated with patterned wallpaper and picture frames along the wall. The…
Pink Pig Wine Bar
For over 40 years now, anybody travelling down O’Connell Street would have noticed a giant pink pig sticking out of a building wall. With recent renovations of nearby venues, it not nearly as prominent as it once was. The outside might look a bit tacky, but the inside is more modern with a casual vibe….
100 Food Station
I’ve driven past this store on many occasions and was intrigued to find out what they’re all about. The name 100 Food Station doesn’t reflect how many items that are on their menu but rather the numeric location of their store. The decor is neat and basic with the highlight being their unique solid timber…
Downtown HDCB
Adelaide’s obsession with American diner food continues with the opening of a new dive bar, Downtown HCDB (Hot Dog Cold Beer), on Hindley Street. From the masterminds behind Jack Ruby, is a new establishment that incorporates the currently trending “street food” with Adelaide’s unique “small bar” licensing. True to the dive bar theme, this venue…

Teaming up with Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery, Relish’d have introduced a Cronut Burger to satisfy both your sweet and savoury needs. The meat patty, nice and thick, and perfectly cooked. The cheese,…
Benny’s American Take Away – Blackwood
American themed eateries seem to be rising in popularity around Adelaide, and Benny’s American Take Away is the latest to join the ranks. Located in a small shopping complex out in Blackwood, the store can be easily missed, however, Michael, the store owner, assures me the signage is going up soon. The store itself isn’t…
