You know that place. The one you went to when it was your birthday. Or when you’d done well on a test. Or when your parents wanted to spoil the family without making too much of a fuss. You’d climb into the car already knowing exactly what you were going to order. No menu required. No deliberation. Just pure excitement. Recently, one of our team found themselves back there for a family treat, and it sparked a conversation around the butchery. Not just about the food, but about how special it is when something tastes exactly how you remember it. How rare it is to grow up eating something, return to it years later with your own kids, and find that it still hits the spot 👌💕 And that got us thinking. Sometimes the best burger inspiration doesn’t come from the latest food trend. Sometimes it comes from tipping your hat to one of the greats. Introducing the People With The Taste For Frankie’s Burger 🍔✨ A heartily basted beef burger layered with cheddar, our take on that famous “white sauce”, crispy onions, tomato, shrettuce and house pickles. It’s familiar. Nostalgic. Comforting. An ode to a South African institution, reimagined the Frankie’s way. Here’s how it’s going down...

With Father’s Day this weekend, we teamed up with our friends at Waterford Estate to create something truly worthy of the occasion. Because if there’s one thing many dads appreciate, it’s simple pleasures done exceptionally well: a great burger, a great glass of red and even better company 🍔🍷👌 At the heart of this week’s burger is ’s beautiful Antigo – a premium Stellies red blend named after the estate’s rich red clay soils. Elegant but approachable, with notes of red currants, subtle to***co, creamy oak sweetness and a long, textured finish – it’s the kind of wine that simultaneously makes you want to down your glass, but also slow each sip right down. So we built a burger around it. Introducing the Waterford Father’s Day Burger 🍔🍷 A Waterford Antigo demi-glace burger layered with whipped brie, Waterford Antigo thyme mushrooms and persillade aioli. Every burger element chosen to complement the wine’s richness, balance, and gentle elegance. It’s rich without being heavy. Refined without being fussy. The kind of burger that feels perfectly at home alongside a glass of red and a long lunch with someone you love. Here’s how it’s going down…

🍷 PS: Waterford will be here on Friday pouring their wines! But if you’d like to take the Father’s Day celebration a step further, they’ll also be pouring at this month’s FFMM Feast Night – which just so happens to make for a pretty great Father’s Day gift (or excuse for a night out with Dad) 👀🍷 OR order a bottle for R250 along with your DIY Box to enjoy over the weekend at your own pace. (Bottles usually go for R300)

This week’s burger is for our team! 🇿🇦⚽ are heading back to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 2010 and if there was ever an excuse to fire up a colab burger packed with proudly South African flavour... this is it! Our friends and will be slinging their variation of this hero burger this week.
Now, we don’t claim to be football pundits. We won’t pretend to know what formation we should be playing or who should be starting where. But what we do know is that when South Africans have something to celebrate, we go all in, and food somehow always finds its way into the conversation. And this week’s conversation is a good one 🤤 Introducing the Bafana Burger 🇿🇦🍔 A Shisa Nyama beef burger loaded with rich iBhisto, thick grilled onions, cheddar cheese, chakalaka mayo, and pickled shrettuce, all tucked into our signature toasted milk bun. It’s bold. It’s messy. It’s packed with flavour. The kind of burger that shows up with confidence and is a proper celebration of local flavour, local pride, and a team that’s given the country something to cheer about. We’re so proud of our boys 🥳💪 Here’s how it’s going down...

Some weeks are about restraint. This is not one of those weeks 😌🍩🍔 This Friday happens to be World Doughnut Day, and frankly, it felt irresponsible not to celebrate. So we’ve teamed up once again with our friends .doughnut for the return of a Burger Friday favourite: the Destination Doughnut 2.0 Burger. If you’ve ever joined us for Burger Friday, you’ll know Destination’s handiwork from the doughnuts tempting you from our counter. They’re one of our favourite local food brands because they approach doughnuts the same way we approach burgers – with equal parts skill, creativity and a healthy disregard for playing it safe. And when two teams like that get together, good things tend to happen 👌 At its heart, this is a classic American-style cheeseburger. A Beef and springbok burger layered with double white cheddar cheese, house burger relish, American pickles, hot mustard glaze and crispy onions. The only difference? We’ve gone and put the whole thing inside a Destination Doughnut. Sweet. Salty. Tangy. Crunchy. Completely unnecessary. But also completely delicious. The first one sold out in a flash. We have a feeling this one might do the same! Here’s how it’s going down…

There are certain ingredients that arrive once a year and immediately make us want to start cooking differently. Pistachios are one of them 🌿✨ This week marks Pistachio Fest Market – one of our favourite seasonal moments on the calendar, and the perfect excuse to build a burger around this occasion. Rich, buttery, earthy, slightly sweet… pistachios somehow make everything feel a little more indulgent. So naturally, we leaned all the way in. Introducing the OZCF Pistachio Fest Burger 🍔🔥 An eland and beef burger bringing deep, rich flavour, layered with a pistachio mushroom duxelles — that luxurious mushroom filling you’ll recognise from a classic beef Wellington – reworked here with pistachios folded through for extra richness and texture. Then comes a confit garlic camembert crema (because subtlety felt unnecessary), pickled red onion for brightness, melted mozzarella, and wild rocket to bring a fresh peppery finish. It’s rich, creamy, earthy and wildly comforting. A proper seasonal celebration of beautiful produce. And honestly… this is one of those burgers that might require a moment of silence after the first bite. Here’s how it’s going down…

There are few tougher meal decisions in life than this: Burger… or pizza? 🍕🍔 You walk into a spot already knowing you’re doomed either way. One part of your brain wants beef, cheese and sauce dripping down your hands. The other’s dreaming about a stretchy mozzarella, marinara covered slice of pepperoni pizza folded in half. Usually, you have to choose. This week, we decided that felt unfair 😂💪 Introducing the NY Slice Burger 🔥 A beef pepperoni burger bringing all the salty, spicy, savoury goodness you want from a proper New York-style slice, layered with molten mozzarella, rich marinara sauce, garlic parm mayo and pickled jalapeño to cut through and keep things lively. All tucked into a famous toasted Jason milk bun. It’s cheesy. Saucy. Slightly ridiculous. And exactly the kind of burger that reminds us why pizza and burgers are two of humanity’s greatest achievements. A little greasy. A little messy. Impossible to stop eating. Here’s how it’s going down…

– Beef Pepperoni Burger

With serious storms in the Cape, seasons are shifting for real now. The days are cooling down (a lot). And for some, that might mean heading indoors and claiming their spot around the fireplace. But around here, it signals that it’s time to layer up and head into the veld. And that can only mean one thing… venison is back 🍂🔥 As Cape Town’s premier ethical butchery, this is always an exciting time for us. Beautiful free-range venison is some of the most honest, interesting ethically sourced and flavourful meat we get to work with – deeply rich, properly seasonal, and very often procured by our very own hands. Something we look forward to sharing with you every year! So for our first venison burger of the season, we’ve gone all in. Introducing the Venison Brandy Onion Jam Burger 🦌✨ An Eland, Frankie Fenner house guanciale and pork cheek burger bringing richness, depth and incredible flavour, layered with a cheesy ranch sauce, a warm brandy onion cranberry jam that feels tailor-made for cooler weather, pickled jalapeño and cucumber for brightness, and crisp shrettuce to keep everything balanced. It’s rich without being heavy. Comforting, a little indulgent, and exactly the kind of burger you didn’t know you needed this week. A small reminder of just how special great venison can be. Here’s how it’s going down… 🔥

The weather has started to turn, the air’s got a bite and suddenly all we want is something a little more comforting 🍂 This week’s burger leans straight into that feeling – warm, familiar and just the right amount of nostalgic. Introducing the Mebos Burger 🍑✨ Now, you might know it without knowing its name. A true South African delicacy! ‘Mebos’ is that sweet-sour apricot treat that shows up at braais, in lunchboxes or somewhere on a cheese board… Sticky, tangy, a little sharp, a little sweet – and surprisingly perfect in the right setting... like the burger we’ve built around all those wonderful flavour notes this week 😋 A beef and lamb spiced patty brings richness and depth, paired with a mebos aioli that hits that sweet-sour note just right 👌 Sharp white cheddar for balance, and a bright Malay-style pickle of cucumber, carrot and red onion to keep everything fresh and lively. It’s cosy, a little unexpected, and the kind of flavour combo that just works so, so well when the days start cooling down. Here’s how it’s going down…

Before we get into anything else… important admin 🚨 Because of the public holiday. We are doing BURGER THURSDAY THIS WEEK — NOT FRIDAY 🚨 Same time. Same place. Different day. Right, now that we’ve got that out the way 😌 Last week you made one thing very clear: steak on a burger is a very, very good idea. You showed up, you showed love and you sold us out completely! Thank you! And naturally, as a butchery, when it comes to sharing more of our beautiful meat, we’re happy to oblige… so this week we’re leaning into it. But this time, we’re taking things a little further afield. Introducing the Thai Beef Salad Burger 🍔🔥 A juicy beef burger topped with a vibrant Thai-style beef salad – fresh, punchy, a little spicy, a little tangy – finished with crushed toasted peanuts for crunch, a coriander tamarind date aioli bringing sweet-sour depth, and melty mozzarella to hold it all together. It’s bright, bold, and a proper change of pace – proof that good meat can carry just about any flavour you throw at it (as long as you do it properly). So… one more time for the people at the back: Thursday. Not Friday. Here’s how it’s going down...
