Forget In-N-Out: Sydney’s Top 5 Burger Restaurants and Joints
The city of Sydney saw 300 happy customers yesterday when popular American burger joint In-n-Out opened a pop-up store in Surry Hills.
The store was due to open from midday to 4pm, and the anticipation of the Surry Hills In-n-Out Burger pop-up store saw fans lining up from 6am in temperatures that reached 39 degrees Celsius.
However, most queuers were turned away half an hour before the pop-up was expected to open its doors, as burgers were already sold out by 11:30am.
