25.01.2022 Iron Awe. A beef burger is a great source of iron, an often-overlooked nutrient that carries oxygen to your cells, tissues and organs. Men need 8 milligrams of iron each day, women 18 milligrams, & you can get around 3 milligrams from 115g of red meat, meaning a burger will go a long way to helping you reach your daily target. #morethanaburger

24.01.2022 This is Josh. And this is his... HFC. JP, as he's known by the team, is the mastermind and the chef de cuisine behind our Healthy Fried Chicken. Another of our Support Office team who first cut their teeth in the restaurant, he's helped us open new restaurants in every state, run music festivals and sporting events and of course create new menu items that you know and love. So we thought we'd ask this head chook a few questions about his latest creation.... What's the key to creating that perfect fried chicken? "Eating a lot of it. But, apart from eating a lot of fried chicken and testing, I really wanted to keep the DNA of a Grill’d burger ("guilt-free") in the recipe and a real chicken taste that wasn’t masked by a lot of ingredients or fillers. I wanted to take the parts of what I love about fried chicken, but without the guilt. It's why we chose to use 100% Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast and not just using any odd bits as some others do." When you’re not working, what are you doing? "Two kids keep me busy, but in my spare time, I like exploring Mornington for great wines and interesting food. I've been listening lately to Muddy Waters & John lee Hooker, James Blake, The Rolling Stones & really enjoy my podcasts, like Smartless, highly recommend." JP's been with us a long time and has had many interviews in his time and at the end of every interview his go-to question is If you were a potato, what sort of potato would you be and how would you cook yourself, so what will it be? #morethanaburger

23.01.2022 We've been cooking up something... Over 3 years in the making, introducing Healthy Fried Chicken Bites Our HFC Bites recipe starts with 100% Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast, coated in a 100% Natural, Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free crumb, and is then cooked in Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.... Now those are claims the Colonel can't make. www.grilld.com.au to find out more. #morethanaburger

23.01.2022 This is Celeste. And this is her burger. A Hot Bird with a Free-Range egg on a Low Carb SuperBun. The Assistant Restaurant Manager out at Eastland has grown a lot this year, levelling up as a leader within the business. *insert Super Mario mushroom here*... As a bit of an obsessed fan of Ed Sheeran, Celeste can usually be found slicing onions in the morning with the ginger ninja from Britain blasting on the speakers. When not vibing to Ed's lyrical tunes and crying a bit (it's the onions, definitely the onions), she's spending that free time with her son, painting and baking; and listening to True Crime Chronicles when he's sleeping. The highlight she'll never forget is being "able to bring my son into work with me". Making burgers for the Kids Masterclass and helping turn little burger tasters into master burger makers. Cheeky plug while we're at it: Kids Masterclasses are starting back up at your local restaurant (not you, sorry VIC), so get in touch to book a spot. We're wanting to feature a few more friends from our NSW, QLD & WA family. So, who are you nominating to be up next in the series? #morethanaburger

21.01.2022 Sticky Honey Soy. The sophisticated big brother to our Natural bites. A little sweet. A little savoury. Give them a try and remember to lick your fingers afterwards, don't waste any. Already tried them, what'd you think?... www.grilld.com.au/hfc #morethanaburger

19.01.2022 All dressed up & ready to go. 100% Natural with ZERO artificial colours, flavours & preservatives. Take our NEW Zucchini Chips on a date this week, in fact, if you're a Relish Member, we'll foot the bill. For more detail >>> www.grilld.com.au ... #morethanaburger

18.01.2022 Completely Natural. We're reducing food miles to keep your ingredients fresh while supporting our local farmers and Australian growers, so that you're eating ethically and locally. Because, local matters. Forget guilt, you can actually feel good about eating it.... #morethanaburger

16.01.2022 Our Australian First story. Here's to the farmers, bakers, growers and creators who make us look good (and our burgers taste great) because they care as much about our ingredients as we do. They ensure we not only get the freshest ingredients, but that they travel shorter distances to reach your plate. Good for you, good for the community and good for the planet. www.grilld.com.au/australianfirst... #morethanaburger

15.01.2022 Our local farmers care about what goes into your burger as much as we do. And we love supporting local, because, local matters. Win-win. #morethanaburger @britt.gaiser

13.01.2022 When we say 100% Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast, we mean it. Every bite is hand-cut, not formed, meaning every bite is made with love. Sure, it's harder, but you'll agree it's worth it on that first bite. #morethanaburger

12.01.2022 Simon Says: Don't lick the screen. #morethanaburger

11.01.2022 "Hey this new lamb burger recipe tastes like a Kebab! What should we call it?" Introducing Mary's Kebab.... No hangover needed. www.grilld.com.au #morethanaburger

11.01.2022 No bite is the same. That's because we hand-cut every piece of our 100% Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast before crumbing it in our Natural, Gluten & Dairy Free batter to create perfectly imperfect bites. No shapes, no patterns, no formed processes like those other guys. Sure it's harder, but it's worth it and it's our way. The Grill'd Way.... #morethanaburger

10.01.2022 157 KFC employees visited us in their full uniform last week to cash in on free HFC because everyone deserves Healthy Fried Chicken. From tomorrow Relish Members, it's your turn. Not a member yet? www.grilld.com.au/relish... #morethanaburger

09.01.2022 Work a little bit harder, push a little further, and reward yourself with a 100% Natural burger. A burger, without bad feelings. Good vibes only. #morethanaburger

09.01.2022 Did you know... When our farmers up in Bundaberg harvest our Zucchini, they do so by the moon cycle. This is because a full moon can cause them to fluctuate in size dramatically, just like the moon effects tides. Amazing really.... Our NEW Zucchini Chips are 100% Natural and if you're a Relish Member, they're 100% on us this week. #morethanaburger

07.01.2022 Coming Soon . #morethanaburger

06.01.2022 Tell us a good joke. Go on, crack us up. But, jokes aside, we've been using Free Range Eggs since we cracked our doors open way back in 2004. #morethanaburger

06.01.2022 Fried Chicken Can't Be Healthy. We've heard it all before. They told us burgers can't be healthy in 2004 and we proved them wrong then, so here we are again changing the fried chicken game. 100% Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast, Natural, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and cooked in Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.... Compared to other fried chicken options, our HFC Bites have significantly fewer kilojoules and are lower in saturated fat, total fat and sodium, according to independent lab tests by Food Nutrition Australia and publicly available nutritional information. But if you want to learn more, hit up www.grilld.com.au/hfc So with that said, what shall we innovate next? #morethanaburger

06.01.2022 Did you know a Grill'd burger can make the perfect post-workout meal?! Health and fitness writer Ben Jhoty told us why he switched his post-workout meal from protein shakes to Grill'd. It was too good not to share. Find out more here https://www.grilld.com.au/news/latest/post-gym-burgers... Can you guess his go-to post-workout burgers? #morethanaburger

05.01.2022 This is Chris. And this is his burger. A Crispy Bacon & Cheese on a Low Carb SuperBun, sub the herb mayo for the chipotle mayo. He calls it a Chrispy Bacon & Cheese. Not sure why. Being pushed out of his comfort zone, Chrispy has been kept on his toes as a Team Leader at Grill'd Norwood, he's not afraid to tackle a challenge head-on and make lifelong friends along the way.... Watching his co-workers fawn over the many Bachelor and Love Island guys that come into the restaurant is just one of the perks, but is always down for chats with the regulars. Be sure to give him a wave if you're local. He's often hitting the town and hanging out with his mates, and still doing the latter over Zoom. Chrispy is a bit of a bookworm who likes long walks on the beach and listening to tunes from Daniel Caesar, Conan Gray, and his ultimate fave, Sam Smith. Who would you like to see next in the series? Nominate them below. #morethanaburger

04.01.2022 Macro mix. Burgers can be just as effective as shakes and supplements in promoting muscle recovery after a workout, says health writer, Ben Jhoty. A Grill’d burger is the kind of premium recovery fuel your body needs.... #morethanaburger

03.01.2022 If you’re going to eat a cheeseburger this #internationalcheeseburgerday, make it a REAL cheeseburger, forget the fake cheeses and artificial ingredients that make you feel bleuh. The Wagyu Wunder. 100% Australian Wagyu Beef with aged cheddar from Australian artisan cheesemakers. The perfect Australian Cheeseburger, the way it should be. Because local matters. #morethanaburger

03.01.2022 Which one of your mates is most likely to seagull your chips? It's about time they owe you. #morethanaburger

02.01.2022 A new perfect pair. A healthy serve of Healthy Fried Chicken. #morethanaburger
