Making an epic burger is an art form — one that Raging Bull Burgers has mastered. What’s their secret to making a burger that knocks your socks off? From the type of beef to the best toppings and sides, their Chef de Cuisine John Buquir breaks down what makes a good burger great.
The best burgers are built on the foundation of fantastic meat. Different cuts of beef offer different flavour profiles, textures, and fat content, so choosing the right blend for your burger is crucial. At this nose-to-tail burger joint, the meat-to-fat percentage is 70/30: the ideal ratio for a mouthwatering patty.
“It’s not just about the ratio; it’s also important to choose high-quality beef that is fresh and free from additives — that’s my number one rule,” says Chef John. Raging Bull Burgers walks the talk, grinding their burgers daily from the best Australian and American beef cuts. Instead of frying the patty, Chef John goes for the raw, smoky intensity of the chargrill, cooking the meat until medium-well so that each bite is packed with flavour.
To perfectly complement this meaty goodness, Raging Bull Burgers opts for toasted Scottish corn buns: soft, slightly sweet golden-yellow rolls that have just the right texture to complement the juicy patty.
The ultimate blend of burger toppings and sides is all about individual taste. So, embrace your inner rebel and experiment to find what satisfies your taste buds. Raging Bull Burgers’ expertly curated menu caters to the most discerning tastes and preferences, so prepare yourself for an explosion of flavours:
Mighty Beast is the ultimate classic burger, tailored for the die-hard fans of this timeless favourite. Each bite of this premium US Angus beef patty will leave your taste buds roaring in delight. To turn things up a notch, Raging Bull Burgers’ tastemakers add griddle maple bacon, aged cheddar, spicy beer mustard sauce, lettuce, tomato, and dill pickle toppings.
Raging Wagyu is perfect for those looking to rock out to a bold and intense flavour experience. Made with 1/3 pound of Prime Australian Wagyu beef — known for its marbling and tenderness — this burger is a true rockstar. Braised onions add depth, while chilli chutney adds a fiery kick. Lettuce, tomato, and dill pickle complete the ensemble, bringing balance and freshness to an already epic taste sensation.
Kickass is a true crowd-pleaser, delivering a 1/3 pound of pure show-stopping energy in every bite. And just like any legendary performer, it’s got solid backup: iceberg lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, and Raging Bull sauce.

Naked Fish is a superstar disguised as healthy grub. Boasting a crispy fried grouper fillet on a corn bun in the forefront and complemented by criolla and romaine lettuce, unique textures are the theme of this show. Then there’s the nikkei tartar sauce — an exotic, tangy blend that injects a burst of flavour into every bite.
The Clean Slate is a vegan sensation that is all about living clean and eating green. Its crispy squash patty takes centre stage, delivering a fresh earthiness. To complete the show, it’s got iceberg lettuce, cauliflower parsley tabbouleh, and its own special sauce — a vegan BBQ blend that’s as smoky and satisfying as any carnivorous option.
