“After opening Huxtable on Smith Street we saw that there was a gap in the market for a good honest, tasty burger that doesn’t cost the world,” Daniel explains. “I did my training in the States so I know my way around a burger pretty well.”
Yes that’s right, fucking burger training – like Rocky Balboa – that’s how well designed and crafted Huxtaburgers are.
And what should you order? Well, with their extensive range, Huxtaburger decided to add a creative flair to the names of the burgers.
“The burgers are named after the characters from The Cosby Show so there is the original Huxtaburger, Theo, Bill’s, Denise (the hot one), Sondra and Rudy (for the kids).”
Asked to outline his favourite of the lot, Daniel tempts us with the specificity of the details.
“Grass-fed Moondarra Wagyu beef, quality ingredients and heating the bun on the grill with clarified butter so it is soft on the outside but crisp in the middle.”
If that’s not exciting enough, Huxtaburger bring the good times with a quirky collection of beers. In fact, the tagline on their website reads ‘Hot Beef, Cold Beer’. Emphasising the perfect pairing of beers and burgers, when prompted as to why people should come and have a burger at Huxtaburger, he says, “Because they are delicious and you can have an Australian craft beer with it!”
Another benefit of eating at Huxtaburger is the price, as the staple ‘Huxtaburger’ will only set you back $8.50. Furthermore, Huxtaburger go that extra mile for you with a regularly updated iPhone app that gives loyal patrons the ability to redeem in-app coupons, as well as special deals not available to the general public. In conjunction with their daily Twitter use, Huxtaburger are setting the pace for an interactive, friendly burger place.
And if you asked them if they could have one celebrity visit the store for a burger, living or dead, who would it be and what burger would they order, you realise there is only one possible answer.
“Bill Cosby, and the Bill’s burger of course!!!!”
I think it’s fair to say that burgers are the most important thing ever invented, so when asked to describe life without them, Wilson is both pithy and poignant.
“Sad.”
