Tell me about yourself.
I’m layers of organic beef, jack cheddar, tomato relish, salad and mustard all in a hand-rolled brioche package.
When did your relationship with The B.East begin?
I’ve been here from day one, and am only getting better with age. I’ll be two-years-old on Friday.
Wow, two years! Congratulations. What have been some of the highlights over that period?
Great gigs, great food and a great crew of people to share them with!
Tell me more about the celebrations surrounding this birthday.
We’re going all out this year! This Friday we will shower our first 100 customers with free burgers, tunes by Cash Savage and the Last Drinks and Saint Jude, crazy drink specials and a bunch of awesome surprises throughout the night.
What is your stance on party pies? Delicious pastry parcels or offal wrapped in dough?
Party pies are the Stephen Baldwin of the snack food industry – inoffensive but no one really cares if they’re not there.
Your name The Classic speaks for itself really, but do you suffer from an inherent jealousy of the eponymous B.East with its triple patty and triple bacon smothered in chilli cheese sauce?
The B.East is kind of like my older jock brother – all the lads love him but he’s not winning any prizes in the school science fair if you know what I mean. The original’s still the best.
Aside from the burgers there is an extensive menu from the sliders to the mac’n’cheese bombs. Over the past two years who have been your favourites to share a plate with?
Pair me up with some buttered chipotle and cheddar corn bread and a side of our famous Death Star fries and you’ve got yourself a pretty sexy date my friend!
