Best burgers in Australia
EDGE Hill Butchery has brought both taste and recognition to the Cairns region, following their recent award for ‘best burger’ at the Australian Meat Industry Council’s National Awards held at Sunshine Coast over the weekend.
In what is considered the most difficult and well-contested category in the awards, the local butchery’s gourmet lamb and halloumi burger triumphed over 140 entries from across the country, securing the ‘best burger’ title.
Edge Hill Butchery co-owner Rod Leaver said that the award was a thrill.
“We’re absolutely thrilled and humbled by this incredible recognition,” he said. “This award is the culmination of years of hard work, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a passion for creating a product that, not only tastes great, but also represents the best of what Australia has to offer.”
Co-owner Julie Leaver said “being crowned the best in the country is undoubtedly the highlight of our careers. This achievement reflects our team’s dedication, our commitment to using the finest ingredients, and our love for the art of butchery.”
Federal Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch said that he was ecstatic to learn about the Leavers’ win.
