Miel Container - Cnr Mary Street and Albert Street Brisbane QLD 4000

Looks like a red garden shed, but The Burgers here are Better than Hungry Mac's (typo intended). Insanely better - and if you don't believe me, check out the long queues waiting outside Miel Container during peak hour.

This doesn't justify what I've just said - but that's because the photo wasn't taken during peak hour.
 
Each table comes with a watering can with mini pitchforks, mini shovels and mini garden knife :P

Well, time for some action (by that, I really mean eating). Classic Burgers include Miel Beef Pattie Burger, Caprese Burger, Tandoori Burger, Korean BBQ Bulgogi Burger, and Miso Smoked Pork Belly. And if none of these take your fancy, you can even Design Your Burger!
 
 
 
Our burgers finally arrived after a long awaited 10 minutes :D - yes I know it's only 10 minutes but it feels super long when your neighbours (who are sitting literally 10cm away from you) are chomping happily on their massive burgers with the delicious aromas wafting towards you.
 
 
First on the list was the Miso Smoked Pork Belly Burger ($12.5). Paper thin slices of pork belly marinated in a delicate miso bean paste, charred perfectly to create an intense smoky barbeque flavour. Stuffed between a lightly toasted brioche bun with delightful aioli, fresh lettuce, tomato, gherkin and red onion. The slices of red onion and gherkin cuts through the creamy garlicky aioli, resulting in one awesome burger with well balanced flavours.

Another one I recommend is the Miel Beef Pattie Burger ($12). Deliciously Grilled Grass Fed Beef Pattie with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion jam, bacon, tomato, chutney, dill mayo and tasty cheese on a fresh Brioche bun. The Brioche bun was soft and fluffy with a slight buttery scent which complemented the onion jam and chutney perfectly.

My Fellow Food Extinguisher decided to be adventurous and created her own burger, for a cheap price of $10.5. Try to guess what she got.
 
Can you spot the ingredients?
 
 
Although all burgers come with a small side of thick cut chips and aioli, it just wasn't enough. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside - it was so goood we had to order the Miel Fries ($11). Served with freshly chopped baby tomatoes, crispy onion, bacon, sweet chilli sauce and covered with melted mozzarella cheese. Simply divine!


Verdict:
The burgers here are really better than Hungry Mac's. Massive GOURMET Burgers with chips and aioli at an insanely affordable price.
