I think the burger was created to support the agricultural industry of Italy, the Minister in charge has endorsed the McItaly.

Sad to say, when I was a little girl (with a better metabolism and tolerance to synthetic food than I do now) – I loved the themed burgers that Maccs and HJs premiered.  My brothers and I would pester our parents and each weekend, on a Saturday night, we’d be allowed to have dinner at Jolimont Maccas or Claremont HJs.

Now, I’m more circumspect.  It’s a sign of the times that burgers bring the world together but I’m not sure about using them to showcase local produce.  Premium burgers from the Australian franchises have left me underwhelmed.

My all time favourite burgers are from the US chain goodburger.  There’s something about US beef.  Even in burgers it is sweet and rich and very satsifying.  Will add some photos of goodburger when I get home.

And here they are.
