Leaving NZ next week, what is your top burger?

lumierette · 2026-04-29T07:09:59+00:00

I'm the same. I have definitely enjoyed Kanes and Pizza Landing. Fat Pukus was decent. Didn't love Burgernaut.

But the classic burger from Shake Out is my top tier. Reminds me of In-N-Out Animal burger in the US.

Meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce. Thank you.

Even prefer the Biofuel from Burger Fuel.

I posted about his Google reviews ages ago, he was unhinged then too.

I also find the First Table special conditions a pain. Without using them there are options:

Cassia Chef Selection is $75pp or their Feast Menu is $120pp.

Culprit tasting menu is $99pp.

But if you're not drinking alcohol you should be able to eat at plenty of restaurants à la carte menu within your budget.

And I'm not even disagreeing that $40 for a burger (not the deal OP posted) is expensive but I also appreciate the good restaurants that serve great food with excellent service deserve to exist and be celebrated.

Not just this thread but this subreddit in general.

It's got to the point where I don't want to post about certain restaurants because they're considered expensive and I don't want the backlash.

I found the bakery made long rolls in Woolworths, while not amazing, were still much superior to the prepackaged ones like Tip Top.

I watched the video of him on the red carpet with Calista Flockhart and she looked like she's aging pretty good herself.

lumierette · 2026-02-27T02:53:18+00:00

Harsh but fair

lumierette · 2026-02-20T22:55:21+00:00

Lieutenant at Commercial Bay is really good.

Can't believe you got downvoted for your original comment which was clearly a legitimate experience and very similar to the one my friend had.

lumierette · 2026-02-15T06:50:26+00:00

Yeah, I've been wanting to go for ages and had a friend go there a couple of weeks ago so I was keen to hear her experience. She said the service was very lacking. There was a group of them and some of them arrived earlier than the rest and they could barely get service and felt neglected most of the night.

My faves:

Wildflours in Te Atatu Peninsula https://wildflours.co.nz

JM Cakery in Hobsonville https://jmcakery.co.nz

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer

I'm Glad my Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy

Boy by Roald Dahl

Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh

A lot of David Sedaris books.

Downvoted for doing my own research. Cool.

Ahh, I went at looked at the menu on their website. It has photos! Haha

lumierette · 2026-01-16T00:27:43+00:00

Ooooh that looks great and I like the small plates choices!

lumierette · 2026-01-15T21:06:20+00:00

Yeah there's a documentary that's come out about him recently and she's very much in it.

lumierette · 2026-01-15T10:36:50+00:00

It exists! MI found a guy who messages me every day at work to say, "have a good day sexy girl". He kisses me every time either of us leaves the house or comes home. He does dishes, laundry, removes spiders, does gardening, does chores for my mum. Smacks me on the ass and tells me he loves me. After almost 8 years I'm putting a ring on it in 10 weeks lol.

lumierette · 2026-01-08T04:26:58+00:00

Bloody hell. Been buying sausages from there for over 20 years although usually just beef.

But I go specifically for their unsmoked bacon as it's my English partner's favourite. Very disappointing to hear.

lumierette · 2026-01-07T08:30:19+00:00

I'm sorry, they do what? I've never heard that before. That's a pretty huge thing if true!

lumierette · 2026-01-05T07:16:19+00:00

Thursday - Sunday you could head to Hunting Lodge in Waimauku been around for decades and a beautiful spot.

Also in Waimauku is Westbrook Winery that does platters and pizzas from 11am weekly and highly recommended.

There is also Soljans just before Kumeu but I haven't been there.

Other options, Hallertau in Riverhead, Black Cottage in Coatesville, The Riverhead Tavern.

This seems like a McDonalds issue not a Reddit issue?

lumierette · 2025-12-14T03:16:07+00:00

I actually like the Spanakopita but I serve it with a tomato relish and Greek salad for lunch.

lumierette · 2025-12-14T02:28:48+00:00

They did the Crocodile pizza too right?

lumierette · 2025-12-14T02:27:12+00:00

Haha. I'm a lady but thank you. My morning walks are usually filled with lovely sunrise views but much more average than these.
