Eating Out: Grassfed

Grassfed, Brisbane's all vegan burger and ice cream restaurant (featuring I Should Coco ice cream), has been hugely popular since its opening several months ago. I have been twice before, but was keen to get back to keep working through their burger menu. The downside of this place is that there is extremely limited seating, so you need to time your trip just right. I managed to get a seat a couple of times recently for lunch visits, which I enjoyed a lot.

Of course I had to get a Strawberry Milkshake, my favourite part of any trip to Grassfed! I am happy to see they are now serving the milkshakes in glasses if you are eating in, rather than in single use BioCups like the last time I visited.



I was excited at this visit because they had just announced onion rings as being added to the menu. When I think of onion rings of my youth, I think of the ones from Hungry Jacks. Most onion rings of now are not like that, they are too much batter and oil and make me feel sick. But I still always try it if I see it, just in case. And these... these were amazing!



I finally got my BFC burger, the last time I ordered it I realised afterwards they had left off the bacon and the mushrooms, but this time it was in it's full glory! Veef patty, Bacon, fries, double cheese, king oyster mushroom, caramelised onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles and Grassfed special sauce. It was huge, so filling! I did have something spicy in it, which I wasn't a fan of. I suspected it was the special sauce.



I headed back again the following week. Of course, a strawberry milkshake! Enjoy another photo.



I ordered the Chick'en Burger this time. Normally it has Chick’en schnitzel, lettuce, sauerkraut, and aioli sriracha sauce, but I got them to switch out the sriracha aioli for beetroot aioli. This is a terrible photo of what was a really nice burger.



I also ordered some more onion rings. But this time, they let me down so hard. The first photo they are wonderfully brown and crunchy. This time they were pale and soggy. Woe. I think I will just remember that first perfect time, and stick to fries from now on. They served them now with special sauce as default, and I was able to confirm that their special sauce is indeed spicy! Rude. So in future I will be sure to sub it for something else in any other burgers I eat.

Cute Kitty Photo of the Post



I've shared this photo of Gizmo before. But several weeks ago I commissioned an artist that I love to do a portrait of Gizmo. She picked out a few photos from the Flickr that she thought would suit her style the best, and this was the one we chose to recreate. I'll show you the finished piece in the next post!
