The burger masterminds at Bar Luca opened up a straight up takeaway shop in the heart of…read moreDarlinghurst today and it is glorious. The menu is simple: Classic Cheese, Wagyu Beef, Blame Canada, Chicken Karaage, Chickpea & Kumara, and a Weekly Special. The rest of the menu is simply fries and add-ons to your burger like bacon, another patty, cheese, and so forth.
Seeing as I've had the Blame Canada already, I went for the Wagyu Beef Burger, Double.
2x Wagyu beef patty, double American cheddar, streaky bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, aioli, house made ketchup.
The hype is real. This place is going to pop off. Even though the first bite pushed the beef out of the bun a little and this burger gets straight up messy, it's all pretty worth it. The bun holds it together and didn't fall apart this time while soaking up all the juices. The wagyu beef is medium rare, juicy, and pretty damn tasty, though there was a very minor aftertaste I couldn't pinpoint. The toppings were classic and fresh, but done extremely well to make for a delicious ass burger. I prefer this over Blame Canada and if they used potato buns here I'd probably be here all the time.
Come get some before this place packs out.
