My lunch buddy had recently returned to work from maternity leave. So, when she suggested we go to our favourite burger joint for lunch I had to break the news that it had left the CBD. I have craved a good burger since its departure. However, there may be a viable alternative close by.

Last week I mentioned a new food court called Food @ 259 and wrote about Thai Tree. We approached the food court and were amazed that there are still only two shop fronts open - what's going on people??? There's a huge lunch crowd waiting for you. Located a hop, skip & a jump from Thai Tree is the Burger Bun. With its fluorescent lights, bright coloured menu, catchy burger names and opening specials the Burger Bun is an attractive option.

We stood a while taking in the catchy burger names and making a touch decision. As part of their opening specials they are offering any burger, drink and chips or salad for $6.90. Yes, you read correctly.....$6.90 for a burger, drink and chips or salad. Bargain!

Without hesitation my lunch buddy and I ordered the Archibald - beef burger with bacon, avocado, cheese, lettuce and tomato. We ordered and paid at the counter before receiving a docket with our order number printed on it. A steady lunch crowd followed to take advantage of the cheap & cheerful deal. A short time later we heard our number called and walked over to collect our brown paper bag full of goodies.

The burgers were delicious - the buns were seriously good and not the sesame version but the light, gourmet bread roll version that is easier to eat as a traditional burger i.e squashed together and eaten with your hands. Is there any other way??? We also received a side of chips that were sprinkled with chicken salt.

My lunch buddy and I thoroughly enjoyed our burgers. I think we've found our new burger bar.
