Brother Burger

thedressingroommelbourne — Sun, 19 May 2013 02:00:40 +0000

We were told about this place by a friend and had to share (we’re still yet to try but heard it’s a must)!

Don’t be mislead, this isn’t your average burger joint! Anything but average with their 100% Wagyu beef patties and the large selection of Australian, independent craft beers on tap. You can order take away but it is said that you must dine in to get the full experience.

The recent Met Gala themed ‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture’ definitely brought out a little punk in all who attended! The thing that most caught our eye (other than Ashley Olsen’s overlay and Kim Kardashian’s floral EVERYTHING) were the NAILS!!! Sooooo much detail, so much drama. The attention was clearly on the tip.

Nicole Richie

Katy Perry

Blake Lively

Rita Ora

Sienna Miller

Emmy Rossum
