Pokemon Go fans gathered outside the Sir John Young Hotel in Sydney's CBD have a new catch-cry, rather than catching them all, here it's about eating them all.
Cashing-in on the Pokemon Go phenomenon, Sydney's Hashtag Burger and their pop-up restaurant Down N' Out Burgers have created Pokemon-inspired burgers featuring characters Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Charmander in burger form.
With only 100 burgers available per day and hundreds waiting in the cue, the team at Hashtag Burgers were busy on Friday preparing for the hungry and excited patrons.
"The inspiration for these burgers was obviously the latest Pokemon Go craze. But we are always looking for new and interesting things, we like to keep it fresh and really we think, you know, there was nothing new in burgers and we were just tired of seeing the same old thing, and we have just bought something that's visually and, you know, gastronomically appealing for people," said Archie Saliba, Operations Manager for Hashtag Burgers.
Inspired by three of the Pokemon Go characters, the "Pokeburgs" offer patrons a taste that matches each of the character's personalities.
