Thousands of burgers were consumed in Porirua during Burger Wellington’s scrumptious competition last month, providing a welcome boost for local eateries.

Eleven venues across the city were among more than 200 that took part in the two-week long Visa Wellington On a Plate promotion, supported by Garage Project. This gave many of our local chefs the chance to go big on the ingredients, creating some mouth-watering winter burger options.

While Wellington’s One80 Restaurant took out the overall award, the winning Porirua burger, decided by public vote, was t bay café’s The Hot Chick. It featured honey-fried chicken, jalapeno slaw, sweet and spicy pickles, pickled red onions and house-made aioli. Hungry yet? It had a beer match with Garage Project’s T Sauce beer.

All up, thousands of burgers were sold across the city, some eateries managing to make more than 1000 on their own.

Pictured below, from left, Visa Wellington On a Plate’s Sarah Meikle, t bay cafe owners Anna Doyle and Jeff Goldsbury, and Garage Project’s Pete Gillespie, with the best Porirua burger award.
