Can you believe it? My 10 day burger run has finally come to an end. I asked Panu last night, “what am I going to eat now?” He said, “What you normally eat” and I’m like, “What do I normally eat???” I can’t recall a life before burgers, but I’m sure my waistline will be all too happy to remember.
About three weeks ago, my friend Martin tweeted me a link, suggesting it was something I might like to do. I clicked on the link and thought, huh, someone’s trying to find a good burger in Sydney? Sure I’ll bid for the task! 🙂 Well, lo and behold, ’twas Martin who put me onto the Airtasker burger run and to thank him, I took him out to have the most prestigious burger in all of Sydney, the Rockpool Bar & Grill wagyu burger.
Third last burger of my Airtasker burger run took me to BenBry Burgers in Manly last night. I was particularly looking forward to this because I hadn’t been to BenBry before and it’s been on my hit list for an eternity. Or about nine months, if you’re really counting. I’d read countless great reviews about this hole-in-the-wall burger joint so my Sunday night was bound to be filled with deliciousness.
Right?
First and foremost, sorry for the blurry photo. I was not, as you might think, drunk on burger goodness. It wasn’t even because the lighting in Four In Hand was particularly dark. Well, it was a little dark. I don’t have an excuse at all, except if I was to really dig deep, I’d say I was overly excited because the burger came out looking normal.
What does that mean? In case you missed it, the last time I went to Four In Hand, their beef patties were ridden with capers and parsley and all the most bizarre things that you’d never expect to see in a patty. But this time? It looked normal and boy, was I relieved.
I have talked to everyone about Airtasker. I’m pretty sure that Airtasker didn’t expect me to, but by nature of the question “um, why are you eating 10 burgers in 10 days?”, the answer requires me to explain the whole idea of Airtasker and why anyone in their right mind would want to pay me to eat 10 burgers. But even after I’ve explained it, most people are still baffled as to why someone would pay me to eat burgers, because anyone who knows me well enough knows I would do this all for free!
But shhhh, don’t tell Airtasker that!
Half way through my Airtasker burger run! Yes, I am still alive. No, I have not weighed myself. And I will not, for fear of condemning myself to a life of salads with no dressing for all of eternity. So I’d rather live in ignorant bliss and enjoy the fat that is currently coursing through my little veins.
But anyway, I digress. Day 5? Burgerfuel in Newtown.
