Salt, pepper and a bit of love. Ask Greg Pappas the secret to hamburger success, and that's the answer you get. There's also talk of quality ingredients, and getting the grill temperature just right. If he's slightly evasive, it's understandable: Pappas runs one of Melbourne's best old-style hamburger joints and wants to keep it that way.
"Everyone says there are secrets... but the basic rule with our burgers is that we have the best produce - the best bacon, the best beef, the best lettuce - and everything is prepared on the day." A little salt and pepper when the patties are on the grill are the only additions. Whatever the key, Andrews Hamburgers in Albert Park has stood the test of time. Countless shops have taken a chance on the bayside suburb, but few have gone the distance in quite the same way. The burgers regularly feature in "best-of" lists in this city and today Pappas' store turns 50.
