Fast Food/Takeaways and Restaurants

Thats the new now old as theyve gone back to the old now new BK logo! I wish HJ’s had rolled that out here :wink:

Looks a lot like the Johnny Rockets logo.

Saved themselves a lot of money by not doing that twice.

I know. But at the time, the BK logo signage looked fantastic. I prefer the retro look overall though.

The Cheese and Bacon McSpicy is - you guessed it - the same as the McSpicy burger but with rasher bacon and Australian Jack cheese added.

The burgers are better… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It sounds like the previously planned and approved service centres just north of Morisset will be the new location for McDonald’s but they would need to get it approved again since the planning approval lapsed last year.

I’m led to believe the approvals havent lapsed (not sure whether they’re relying on the covid extension of approvals or they’ve lodged modifications) - Lake Macquarie Council mentioned the project recently as one that they were expecting to start construction soon.

I wonder if that means the McDonald’s in Morriset town will close. It’s a pretty small town itself.

I was just going based on the Council approval letter in 2017

Looks like the land was sold in 2019/2020 to “a major oil supplier” (I’m guessing BP rather than Shell).

There won’t be any local access to it.

I tried Wahlburgers at Surfers Paradise today.

I had the Super Melt, it was nice, but not cheap at $26 with a soft drink (no fries).

Just the burger? :open_mouth: Sounds like an absolute ripoff.

Burger and drink only, no fries. Burger on its own was $20

no fries and $20?!
(is it wrong that i would still pay that much for a burger?)
