Bar Luca Launches “Blame The Chef”, Five Weeks Of Burger Collabs

Cool Sh*t, Eat, Sydney / 12 October 2023

Bar Luca, a renowned burger establishment, is honouring Sydney chefs through an enticing burger challenge: unveiling five exclusive burger creations over the course of five weeks.

Bar Luca, a beloved Sydney burger destination situated in the CBD, is embarking on an exciting burger collaboration series. They have invited some of Sydney’s finest chefs to craft limited-edition burgers, and over the span of five weeks, five unique burgers will be revealed. It’s your task to determine the ultimate champion.

This event, named “Blame The Chef,” draws inspiration from the establishment’s traditional burger naming convention. For instance, their popular “Blame Canada” burger, paying homage to Canada, features delectable ingredients such as maple-glazed streaky bacon, maple aioli, and poutine.
