It's actually called Gourmet Burgers but it's in Warkworth. Bottom of Neville St. Interesting menu with duck, venison, lamb, etc, burgers. Seafood 'n eat it do good fish and chips too. They are a couple of doors down.
Ta!
I know Seafood'n'eat.
Will check GB out if NZ ever decides to let returning Kiwis in without quarantine. Perhaps 2022?
I will be helping to keep them in business until then, so you should be O.K.
I may not be O.K. but burgers aren't THAT bad for you, right?
(Actually theirs probably aren't, and I'm going to keep telling myself that).

Very unhappy if this is true
Just for the record although I'm sure everyone is now aware. This has been exposed as a complete fabrication. Toxic racist BS stereotyping. Despicable by whoever originally created this fiction.
That was so obvious... it was like a check-list of terms that would trigger people, just jammed into a poorly written paragraph.

Press giving Bloomfield the grilling Cindy never gets.
He just said there has been no failure at the border
Bizarre. We go 102 days without it and yet here it is.
That is a failure at the border, or are we making our own C19 now with 5g?

The media almost does it's job when she isn't in the room. Hipkins got some decent questions yesterday too.
There was a similar pattern during the initial outbreak -

He said there were no PPE shortage issues. And it was proven that there were. So excuse me if I don't entirely believe him

@canefan I think the wriggle there is that there were plenty of masks but they weren't getting to those that wanted them.
The Border was apparently not a failure because (paraphrasing) people were getting tested and its a moveable feast with constant improvements. He was asked why he doesn't consider it a failure when the Minister has apologised for the failure and replied "I don't think he used that word".
He was also asked how it was that MoH had two months to set up regular testing but didn't and now it has taken 72 hours to get it in place. From his answers it sounds like @Godder was right - lots of "working with Unions"....

Can't help but wonder what the correct word is...
"Fuck up" could work.

Bank CEO: How's the new app going?
CTO: Brilliant, we're rolling it out today
CEO: That's impressive. Top work

Next day
Bank Head of Marketing: Jesus we are getting flayed on Facebook about the app. How did it get past testing?
CTO: We didn't test it. We just rolled it out. Our customers will let us know about the faults. It's a moveable feast with constant improvements.
Marketing: But why? People have lost their savings! Our reputation is rooted!
CTO: I needed to be able to tell everyone we had something up and running. We can blame the users for slack security. ANZ wouldn't have done any better. -
the border was always a clusterfuck waiting to happen, I thnk they are pretty naive to think they can keep it out and test all those crossing it as well as isolate and quarantine.
Too many people either cant be tested as often as they need or be isolated/quarantined.

The narrative they push is certainly good for morale, and votes. Until it all hits the fan of course...
