Is BB52 a Real Craft Burger?

Is BB52 a real craft burger, or just using the word? Here's what actually happens in the kitchen — no marketing spin.

Short answer

Yes — BB52 bakes its own buns, makes its sauces and pickles from scratch daily, and sources quality Australian beef, applying the same standards at every location. It's not just the word "craft" printed on a menu.

"Craft" gets thrown around loosely in the burger world, so it's a fair question to ask of any kitchen — including this one.

Is BB52 a Real Craft Burger? — What's Actually Made In-House

  • Buns — baked fresh, not delivered frozen from a supplier.
  • Sauces — made from scratch daily, not squeezed from a catering bottle.
  • Pickles — brined in-house, not opened from a jar.
  • Beef — quality Australian beef, sourced with a clear standard, not an unnamed frozen patty.

Every one of these is a decision that could have been outsourced for convenience. They weren't.
