Eat Out and Uber are collaborating in delivering two ‘gourmet burgers‘ (minimum order) to one’s home or office tomorrow (30 October), in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. This will become a monthly service.
The ‘lunch on-demand‘ service will deliver the ‘gourmet burgers‘ (can the adjective apply to a burger, one asks), made in Cape Town by The Hoghouse Brewing Company, in Johannesburg by DW Eleven-13, and by 9th Avenue Bistro in Durban, at the cost of R120 for two. What is worrying is that the Uber notice misleads by referring to these as ‘top restaurants’, yet this is a complete exaggeration. Only DW Eleven-13 is an Eat Out Top 20 finalist, but it has a casual eatery The Grazing Room attached to its business, which more than likely will be preparing the burgers! 9th Avenue Bistro is nowhere near ‘top‘, as I discovered when eating there in August!
To order one goes into Uber at 12h00 tomorrow. One needs to check in which areas the offer applies – in Cape Town the ‘Burger Zone’ includes the city centre, as south as Wynberg, as east as Elsies River, as north as Milnerton, and excludes the Atlantic Seaboard.
The Hoghouse Brewing Company ‘gourmet burger’ will be a smoked brisket bun, bread and butter pickles, rocket, and watercress. The DW Eleven13/The Grazing Room burger is described as being a Wagyu beef burger on a brioche bun created by Chef Marthinus Ferreira! The 9th Avenue beef burger is made with lamb bacon, Gouda, and mint mayo.
