Mr REPACHOLI (Hunter) (13:41): 

It is no secret I love a good burger. Thankfully for me, my electorate has no shortage of great burger restaurants. Today I rise to congratulate one of those restaurants, one of my favourites, Burgerfiend of Cessnock. Burgerfiend was recently awarded the Australian Food Guide's reader's choice award for the best burgers in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. This is the fourth time Burgerfiend has won this award, also winning in 2019, 2020 and 2022 as well.

 

Matt and Marlene from Burgerfiend are Cessnock royalty in my books. The restaurant has previously won other awards too, such as a local small business award for best takeaway in 2019 and in 2022. I have to say that all these awards are well deserved. All the burgers at Burgerfiend are delicious but my favourite is the Cheeky Fiend, which is two 100 per cent Australian beef patties—fresh not frozen—double cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a Burgerfiend sauce. For the vegetarians and the vegans out there is the Shroom and also Clewsy Says No and they are quite delicious as well.

 

Congratulations to Matt and Marlene and the whole team at Burgerfiend on winning the Australian Food Guide reader's choice award again. Small businesses like yours make our electorate an exciting place to live. I'm proud to have so many businesses like Burgerfiend prospering in the Hunter, employing residents and providing delicious food to locals, tourists and me.
