Rabbit Hole burger vies for world champion status

The burger at Rockpool Bar & Grill gets most of the local media attention, but it is the lesser-known wagyu beef burger at Rabbit Hole in the city that could achieve world-champ status today.

Rabbit Hole's burger featured in a Bloomberg story on the Chowzter Awards, and staff at the venue, at 82 Elizabeth Street, were waiting to hear overnight if they'd trumped the other nominees, including a cheeseburger from Louis Lunch in Connecticut and a ''wet burger'' from Istanbul.

Britain-based Chowzter worked with some of the world's top food bloggers to find the best fast food on the planet, ladling out The World's Seven Tastiest Fast Feasts award winners in London.

Rabbit Hole prides itself on making everything that goes into its creation, from the tartare to the tomato relish. And it seems prepared to also make a play for the world's best chip award, if such a thing exists.

''We cook them three times,'' a spokesman at the wine bar says.
