Pineapple and beetroot—on a burger? Yep, it’s a thing!

A Lot on Your Aussie Burger

The Aussie Burger, affectionately known as the ‘Burger with the Lot,’ packs all that goodness into one epic bite. Think beetroot, juicy pineapple, and a sunny-side-up egg stacked high.

A Zesty Sidekick

And for a side? A fruity tomato salad with a zingy punch from Tasmanian pepperberries, a.k.a. Mountain Pepper, that adds a touch of purple magic to the vinaigrette.

Peruvian Anticuchos

SpiceBreeze
“Anti-cucho” translates most likely to 'cuts from the Andes region'. Anticuchos have a long history dating back to the pre-Columbian era of the Incas. Initially, they were made with llama meat. The Spaniards changed the meat, added new spices, and put the meat on skewers. Today, anticuchos are preferably made of beef heart, chicken, or steak and most popular during National Holidays and at summer barbecues.

Greek Souvlaki

Greek Souvlaki

SpiceBreeze
Souvlaki is one of many national Greek dishes. Marinated meat is grilled on a stick and eaten straight off the skewer. The origins of souvlaki date back to ancient Greece where pieces of meat were grilled on a spit. During the Medieval era, Greek street vendors sold souvlaki in bread. However, in Turkey, it's believed that the Turkish shish kebab found its way to Greece and became the Greek souvlaki.
