PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIAUtilising the freshest of ingredients made to order in front of you, Grill’d is a must-do for anyone with a penchant for the mighty burger. Since launching in Melbourne in 2004, Grill’d has grown to become a multi-million dollar success story. Simon Crowe, managing director of Grill’d, saw a serious opportunity for his version of “fast food” in Queensland and he jumped on it with all the relish that tops one of his juicy burgers. The approach of Grill’d is to offer a convenient, low-fat and healthy alternative to the more familiar (and decidedly greasy) fast food outlets that are in abundance.
There are three Brisbane Grill’d outlets in Bulimba, Chermside and more recently in Fortitude Valley. You’ll also be able to get your Grill’d hit in Noosa Heads and Coolangatta, with two new stores in the pipeline. With 19 different fresh, tasty and distinctive flavours you won’t be short of choices. The Zen Hen is an astoundingly zesty burger, featuring a grilled chicken breast with tangy satay sauce, carrot, coriander, salad and herbed mayo. The contemporary ethos of Grill’d leaves no taste unaccounted for, offering delicious vegetarian burgers and a deceptively nutritious menu for the kids too. Check out the Grill’d experience for yourself and you’ll be sure to find a lip-smackingly good alternative to the beloved hamburger that is also good for you.
