Life is all about Beers and Burgers! Well, maybe that’s just my life. But if you are all about the B’s, I have a new pop up you have to visit in Melbourne.

Get ready to fire up Melbourne, as the most delicious and smokey Southern American BBQ flavours come to Grand Hyatt Melbourne this winter.

The kings of meat Steve Kimonides and Raphael Guthrie of Burn City Smokers are packing up their smoker trailer and towing it into the heart of Melbourne’s energetic laneway buzz to deliver fall-of-the-bone, fire laden and enticing BBQ aromas at the Burn City Pop-Up.

WHAT A POWERHOUSE… with Grand Hyatt Melbourne Executive Chef Jason Camillo, the Burn City team have created a menu that’s to die for from the freshest local ingredients, in line with Hyatt’s food philosophy; Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served.

“We are always thinking of new ideas to enhance the guest experience, something to excite, surprise and delight. For winter we were looking to do something unique and out of the box, and after meeting Raphael and Steve it was clear we shared the same food philosophy and passion for fresh local produce and could come together to create something amazing,” says Jason.

The Burn City team have mastered the art of smoking with wood, combining traditional techniques with modern flavour and style. In short, it’s Meat on the grill to die for!
Both Raphael and Steve, share their passion for working with smoke and fire from childhood memories of family barbeques.

“Burn City Smokers was born out of late nights in some of Melbourne’s great bars, where we talked about our shared passion for cooking with wood and our desire to create a business where food is about friends and family coming together for simple but delicious flavours,”  Raphael.

The winter takeover started June 1st, Burn City Pop-Up will offer Grand Hyatt Melbourne’s guests a brand new menu until August 31. Expect mouthwatering beef, chicken and pork slow-smoked over wood, the Burn City signature smoked brisket burger, traditional American BBQ side dishes, and of course rich and decadent desserts. Starters from $4 and Mains from $17.

After trying the smoked brisket burger, I was hooked. It’s great for a quick burger bite during lunch of after work beers and feast! Trust me, if you like an all-American, smokey, tasty delight… You want to head to Grand Hyatt and check it out.
