My Plans and Burger Fuel

Thursday, 19 Mar 2009 | Views [483]

Forget MacDonalds and Burger King. In the north of New Zealand they have plenty of Burger Fuel's. They're by far the best burger takeaway I've ever been to. Their burgers are all really weird and different and healthy compared to your average burger.... Read more >


Oh, Hello Auckland
