Welcome to the Yummiest Food Blog Ever

Hey friends!!

Welcome to my first ever blog!! Thanks for even attempting to read it!!

This is a blog about all my super yummy food adventures! It's not really intended for critiquing restaurants, but rather it's just sharing my love for eating! You can become a Hungry Pea and help me contribute to it!!

Anyway!! Where do I start?!?!!

Burgers!! I just came back from New York more burger than person. Americans know how to do burgers. and CHEESE. American cheese rocks my socks. Here are some of my fave burgers eaten!

Shake Shack - Madison Square Park NYC
Perfectly crafted little burgers. You know it's a well stacked burger when you get to the end of it and the whole thing is still together instead of a giant mush in your hand.

Peter Luger Steakhouse - Brooklyn NYC
More famous for it's overly expensive steaks, if you go at lunchtime before 3pm they have a cheap burger special for 10 bucks. The waiters make ya feel bad about ordering something cheap, but ignore em. This burger is the shiz. It's pretty much just meat and bun, but the meat is incredible! And the optional side bacon was amazing! They burn the rind to add to the delicious smokey taste! Add a lil bit of their famous steak sauce and it's burger heaven!

Counter Burger - Santa Monica LA
Totally customisable burgers are a great idea, but I have a terrible enough time deciding on what to order, let alone choosing every single little detail of my meal. So I got a 4 mini burger taster thing with matching sauces and beers. American beers suck though. Oh! And what's cool is that there's one in Sydney. Go you Sydney-siders. But yeah, customisable burgers that tries to use the freshest ingredients sourced around the area so every Counter Burger will be different!

And! What I loved most about burgers in the US was that they were good and cheap! None of this overpriced gourmet burger shit (Grill'd SHUN). Anyway, my favourite burgers in Melbourne right now:

Lord of the Fries Spicy or Original burger with Vegan cheese! 
But I'm so poor at the moment I can't afford the 50 cents extra for vegan cheese. Eat it whenever you're waiting for a tram at Flinders Station or Cnr Elizabeth + Flinders St or Melbourne Central!! And it's all vegetarian so certain best friends can eat them too.

Bogan Burger @ Napier Hotel
I wish I could remember to take a photo of this burger but I get too excited when it comes out. It's famous for being Melbourne's biggest burger! It's a chunky turkish bread with steak, chicken schnitzel, potato cake, bacon, egg, cheese, onion, pineapple and beetroot served with side salad and wedges WOW! And it's not just ridiculously gluttonous, it's super yummy too and! most importantly! It's well stacked! I would recommend sharing this burger with someone and resisting the urge to buy a pint - a pot of beer is suffice with this burger!
