Any meat that is placed between two burger buns is called a burger in Australia, so if it’s chicken we would call it a chicken burger not a chicken sandwich, if you come to Australia asking for a sandwich. We would all assume your asking for meat placed between two slices of bread

The thing about places like Noodle Box and Wok in a Box is that everything is fresh in front of you and prepared right there in front of you. Think about the counter at Subway, this is how they have their ingredients in the store and when you order the staff selects the ingredients from right in front of you to put in the wok where they literally cook it right in front of you, the exact same fresh ingredients that you can see for yourself the quality. That's what makes these places really stand out from the McDonald's and KFCs when it comes to fast food

Grill’d is great and we eat there regularly. We are an allergy family and they’re one of the few fast food chains we’ve found where staff are really knowledgeable about what’s in their products and don’t screw up the order.

Absolutely delicious and extremely generous portions. I could just about drink their sauces straight out of the bowls.

Margarita must be red white and green after the flag of Italy. So you must have all three colours, which is why there must be tomato, white cheese (usually mozzarella) and basil. Additional cheese and ingredients are allowed but frowned on by purists. This is an expensive pizza but meets all the criteria with very high quality ingredients. You could buy a Dominos pizza for 1/3 the price (and flavour)

Ryan, the reason our fast food is healthier is because Aussies are health conscious and insist on avoiding excess fat and grease, going for fresh produce wherever possibles. I keep hearing how bad Domino’s is in the US, but in Australia, Domino’s is very different, they revamped their menu a couple of decades ago, to cater to Aussie tastes. Buffalo mozzarella is used on pizzas in Italy and because we’ve learned from Italian migrants how to upgrade our Italian foods, we use buffalo mozzarella too and fresh toppings whenever possible.

[@sonia4661]

The wiener schnitzel originated in Austria. Usually pounded chicken or veal. Then dipped in flour, egg mix breadcrumb & then pan fried in oil. Pretty much a staple in Australia. Thai food would be the most popular Asian food though I've eaten Tibetan, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Korean is on the rise. We also have lots of middle eastern chicken, tabouli & chips fast food cooked butterfly style like Portuguese chicken.

My favourite growing up in Oz was wiener schnitzel but with the crumbed veal and squeezed lemon wedge over the top 😋. You tend to get chicken or crumbed steak nowadays.

I read an article some years ago that addressed the buns used in many fast food hamburger outlets. It said that they are deliberately made to be insubstantial and virtually melting as they are consumed. This is to make them less filling, hence the orders of several at a time or bulk made up with orders of side dishes. The old style burgers in Oz and here in NZ are much more filling and only one needs to be purchased.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

We have noodle shops where you choose the fresh items you want and they cook it for you in the sauce of your choice. Buffalo cheese is mozzarella made from buffalo milk. It's the best quality cheese for pizza. It's what they use in Italy. A pizza restaurant in Melbourne Australia makes the world's best pizza. The chef won the world's best pizza competition in Italy competing against over 600 chefs from around the world. Only uses the best quality ingredients. We had a Dominos in our town but they didn't last against our local pizza restaurant even though they were double the price of Dominos. You can get schnitzels at any pub in Australia and it's cheap.

Buffalo mozzarella on top of fresh tomato and basil with salt/pepper omg the healthiest yummiest lunch you can eat, sometimes add sliced pepperoni or chorizo, still keto and bomb

[@jonsant7232]

The local suburban takeaway or what we used to call a milkbar often make the best burgers. Where I live in Sydney's southwest, we have really good pizza, Thai, Indian, Chinese, charcoal/BBQ chicken, Vietnamese, burgers, Fish and chips and kebabs we also have clubs like RSL Clubs that make good meals plus if you want Maccas, pizza hut, dominos, Hungry Jacks, KFC or Subway they are never far away. Personally, I like the local privately owned stores. Once you get to know who does the best, it's difficult to go back to the big chains It's amazing that I don't weigh 250kg, but I only have takeaway once or twice a month, sadly ☹️😭☹️

[@Streetw1s3r]

Guzman y Gomez is in a whole other league compared to Taco Bell (which is actually gross here, not sure if it's also gross in the US). They use all fresh and high quality ingredients. I've been to authentic Mexican restaurants in Australia and GYG is even better then those. It's basically as good as making Old El Paso at home except it's a fast food option. I love a Cali Burrito with chicken, absolute GOAT.

I sub to you

[@libbypeace68]

Hahaha - I love your enthusiasm! You are going to love Australia when you get here. How is your little family? Must be time for another live stream!

[@Jeni10]

Australia never heard of french fries until McDonald’s arrived in Australia, or thereabouts. Before that, chips were always the thickness of your finger, because we cut the potatoes ourselves.

[@jedisparke1446]

Hi first

[@TagSpamCop]

14:40 Parmi and chips is a staple of all pub (bar) meals. In Australia, the citizens of every city know which is the best parmi in their town.

[@listeningtoyou]

Schnitz is my favourite of all time

[@metadude1234]

When they used to offer it, the pulled pork burrito's when they had their 50% days were incredible from Guzman y Gomez

[@jessicaprofitt6983]

At grilled you can change the bun for whatever your preference they have about 5 different buns and instore they give you a token to put in a local charity box

[@dee-smart]

French fries are bought here too. If you go to a freezer in a supermarket and see the range, there could be ordinary straight cut chips, or crinkle cut chips, or beer batter chips, or ... whatever. You can also buy FRENCH FRIES. They are chips that are smaller (very small).

[@turquoisebubbles2042]

Every single pub across Australia has the chicken parmigiana … it’s a given . Parmi’s are delicious.

[@kerrydoutch5104]

Margherita pizza is tomato and cheese. And basil if you want it. Just a few leaves. Looks right to me. CRUST is good pizza. And YES we have CHIPS not FRIES. We call everything chips. Hot chips, (cold) chips in a packet, chocolate chips. Schnitzel came from Germany/Austria as Vienna Schnitzel with veal. But we made it our own and a chicken schnitzel or Parmy/Parma or Schnitty can be found at just about every pub or takeaway place round the country. And a sandwich is between 2 slices of bread. In a round bun its a burger ....gourmet burger, chicken burger, veggie burger, fish burger, or our standard hamburger with a beef pattie tomato lettuce onions BEETROOT😂 cheese fried egg and bacon. And pineapple if you want that too but not for me . And no we dont have deep fried pickles here. Pickles arent a big thing here certainly not on a hamburger except on Maccas burgers. Beetroot gives that same sort of pickly flavour. But some hate it.

[@TenOrbital]

Grill’d is great. I like it, have it every week and you can get beer (might depend on state). Not cheap though. Burger, chips and beer is ~$28. Add nuggets and I paid $33 last week.

[@TheSeano1]

Here in Adelaide, we also have a few schnitzel restaurants called Schnithouse (a play on the word sh*thouse!) 😄 The food is far from sh*thouse, though!

[@darkcase123]

Keep in mind with prices conversion rate, we don't tip, and tax is included in the price

[@carokat1111]

We pay more for food perhaps, but at least we get good quality.

Long before anybody had heard of the internet it was solely used by academics like me. The internet has written standards that govern how domain names are to be formatted and many other things. All these documents are located on the internet and can be easily found if you search but they are very dry technical reading.

[@pet_tularhodes3687]

Buffalo cheese is basically soft mozzarella balls yes its white they slice it , margaritas are tomato pizza sauce herbs and cheese

[@kd359]

Schnitzel is a staple given to us from our multiC shared love of each other's food, Thanks Germany!. It is the go to in every pub menu. When you not sure what to order it's the schnitzel. You just change the topping and sides for variation. So comes with Greek salad and chips or vegetables,,,,,your choice. Topping : Parmigiana, Hawaiian, Diane (sweet) or mushroom gravy. There is a vegan option if that's your preference they can schnitzel an egg plant but not all pubs have this option.

[@Steve_P_B]

With Schnitz, there's only one in Western Australia in the Belmont Forum Shopping Centre (in other words, a food court place). There's none in South Australia, Northern Territory, ACT, or Tasmania. It's basically just a Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria thing.

[@univerz1175]

"Parma" We cook Schnitzel a lot in our own homes, its on a lot of restaurant menus. "Schnitzel parmigiana" is big in Australia, because of the Italian culture here. Its chicken breast cut flat, coated with flour, egg and breadcrumbs, and with coated tomato and cheese topping. Its not always deep fried, its just lightly pan fried.

[@SiilanPies]

Grill'd burgers are fucking amazing, and you can build your own burger with your preferred toppings. I die for their herbed mayo.

[@Remnants_]

I love grill’d. Bit expensive but worth it. It was the first place to offer multiple veggie burger options. Their sweet potato fries with herbed mayo is an odd flavour but also delicious. Now I want grill’d & it’s midnight 😂 Not a fan of noodle box though, the independent noodle bars are better

[@matthewridgeway9250]

The other thing to consider, is Taco Bill. Do not confuse the two. Taco Bill is a chain created by Bill what's his name I think in 1968 in Russel Street in Melbourne. As a kid, my parents would take us to one in South Melbourne in the 1970s and 1980s. While we were there, the owner would sometimes come over and talk to my dad. Bill came to Australia from California with a corn grinder to make corn chips and echilladas. I love Taco Bills very much, as for Taco Bell... maybe not so much. "Death by chocolate" at Taco Bills is awesome too! And Taco Bills is licensed to sell alcohol, so yeah, much fun. Google it. And, if you visit Australia, do a Taco Bill visit for sure.

[@neumanmachine3781]

You'll find most of these ones they reviewed at pretty much any big city suburban food court (especially Westfields) and inner city high streets, along with the usual American suspects - Subway is extremely popular in Australia. Most of these options are at the more expensive end of fast food in Australia, there are also heaps of Kebab shops (the Halal snack pack is something of an Aussie institution- Chips with chicken salt covered by layers of cheese, kebab meat, sauce and more cheese). Bakeries are a typical traditional fast food that sell meat pies and sausage rolls and also do sandwiches, although Vietnamese migrants in the big cities have taken over a lot of bakeries which adds the Banh Mi (Vietnamese pork baguette) which is a real staple. The other traditional take away option is the fish and chip shop - originally modelled on the British version but now definitely Australian - they also make Australian style hamburgers (Beef Rissole flattened into a patty, with grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, onion, beetroot, fried egg, bacon and sometimes grated carrot and fresh cucumber and of course Aussie BBQ sauce). Bakeries and Fish and Chip Shops tend to be family owned small businesses rather than chains, as are most Asian takeaway food places and there are a lot of Italian/pizza and Indian places that are independent as well. Portuguese and Korean fried chicken chains are becoming more popular too such as Oporto, Frangos, Ogalo and O'Chicken (Korean) as well as the Korean chicken and beer bars.

[@geministargazer9830]

I love Oporto. There’s also a Korean chicken place near me that’s excellent. As well as those there are a few American style places that do fried chicken burgers. One I had that was really good was buttermilk fried chicken with sriracha mayo and a milk bun.

[@user-xi3od8hw8v]

Schnitzels are available at every pub and clubs in Australia and are very popular

[@johnblyth9787]

In Australia if you order a sandwich you get 2 slices of bread and filling. A round bun is a Hamburger. Yes our hamburgers often have beetroot. BLT, beetroot, lettuce and tomato, and meat patty etc. Works burger, meat, egg, onion, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, beetroot, sauce or condiments etc. Steak burger with works is a feast.

[@lr5450]

Don't forget the pineapple!
