Olivia

I've always admired Olivia Palermo, the girl's got a wicked sense of style. I was watching MTV's "The City", the show which is totally "real". But anyway, I loved seeing her outfits on the show, she really knows how to mix prints and textures. She reminds me of the kind of woman who always steps out looking fabulous and made up, people these days don't really do that anymore. I recommend following her on Instagram, she's doing a lot of collaborations with designers.

Churrrr Bro

It has been so hot lately that I've been eating a lot of junk food. Kinda been on a burger binge these 2 weeks, but everyone loves a good cheeseburger right. 

There's actually quite a few burger joints that people have been raving about, one of these is Chur Burger. It sits in a quiet lane way in  Surry Hills and once you get in, the music is pumping, the smell is incredible and the food and service is fast. The kitchen is in full view, you get to see your food being prepared from start to finish. the atmosphere is great, they play a mix of old skool hip hop to new songs and contemporary tracks. 

We ordered 2 cheeseburgers and I got a Milo milkshake as well. The milkshake looks very big but I actually finished most of it, it was so creamy but not too heavy like most milkshakes end up being. The cheeseburgers comes assembled with grilled beef, cheese, tomato jam, mustard mayo and pickles. The cheese was overflowing on my burger and it was so drool worthy! The bun was super soft, I'm guessing it's a brioche bun. The pattie itself was cooked just right, still a bit pink on the inside, it was so moist and juicy. The sauces combined with the slightly crunchy pickle...it was just perfect. 

I think we destroyed our burgers in under 10 minutes, the whole meal lasted under 45 minutes I think because we had to wait for a seat. But even if you do have to wait, the line is never that long because people just eat and leave like we did. I think the next time we come I will try one of their sides like the sweet potato fries or the wings.

On a side note, Jules and I tried to make our own burgers the following week, we bought a brioche bun and cut it into a reasonable size. The pattie was from Coles, the Heston one which actually turned out to be quite delicious. We used Colby cheese and he made a sauce out of Sriracha and Aioli and I used a boring BBQ sauce. 

The end result was surprisingly good!
