    It was my sole intention on Sunday to have a massive session in the gym and follow it up with a big…read moregreasy burger from Back Galley Split in Camden. I am very happy to say I achieved this. I sought inspiration from the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Blueprint. Having completed my chest and back workout at Anytime Fitness Mount Annan I made my way quickly to Camden to sate my insatiable hunger and add to my ongoing list of conquered burgers. I walked into the half full 1950's diner and was actually impressed by the look. From the outside it didn't look like much but being inside I could notice all the details. Chrome fittings, cool old motorcycle hanging from the wall along with old timey posters, my favourite being the "Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten". Also awesome were the old movies playing at the back of the diner with a little Johnnie Cash playing in the background. I sat down quickly in my comfy retro Cadilac style booth and picked up and opened the menu feeling like a fat kid staring at cake (inappropriate I know). It was hard to control myself but I finally decided on a BBQ Ranch Burger, Curly Fries and Root Beer which came as a combo for $18.90. I sat around appreciating the theme and listening to The Man in Black and even took a call from mate for around 10 minutes. The wait time was probably a little too long, especially given my body's need for fuel. Luckily my mate kept me occupied until my burger came out. I had to get off the phone quickly because of the picture right in front of my face. It was a monster of a burger filling both of my hands. The bun was soft and yielding and glowing golden brown. I bit into the burger tasting all of the components and feeling all the different textures. The bun was slightly sweet and oh so soft, the taste of the smokey BBQ sauce mingling with the ranch dressing was next along with the crispiness and sweetness of the onion rings. The saltiness of the bacon came next followed by the cheddar which had melted onto the thin style beef patty which was cooked crispy adding another layer of texture with some juiciness. The beef stumped me on this burger and i'm not sure what they were going for, but it kind of tasted like processed sausage meat? Hmmmmm. The burger finished off with the fresh tomato and good quality lettuce. The curly fries were perfect, with great crunchiness on the outside and and soft inside. Good burger! Despite the weirdness of the possibly overly processed beef patty. That was their only downfall which I think could be easily fixed. There are so many other options to choose from that really excites me - buffalo wings, pulled pork sandwich, ribs, great selection of burgers and of course old school milkshakes and desserts. After letting them know I enjoyed the burger, they let me know they have a burger challenge called the "Big Bopper" which is pretty much the same burger as the Ranch with the addition of 2 extra patties, a schnitzel, a side of junkyard fries and a milkshake which you have to finish within 25 mins. Sufficed to say that I will be going back to test my manliness, and have since locked in Lo Lo to provide coverage of the glorious event. You know i'll be back, i've got work to do...

    Their junkyard fries are to die for. Staff are also incredibly lovely. Great place for lunchread more
