Fergburger

It began in a tiny converted garage down a back alley with zero advertising, and the queue that built up by word of mouth alone has become as much a part of the experience as the burger itself.
Fergburger piles thick house-made patties — beef, lamb, venison, fish or falafel — high with fresh toppings inside a soft bun, wrapped in paper and eaten standing on the street. Since opening in a tiny garage on Cow Lane in 2001, then moving to its current Shotover Street site in 2005, it draws queues out the door at almost any hour, day or night.
Why it's made this way: Word-of-mouth from its original hidden Cow Lane garage location turned Fergburger into one of the most talked-about burger stops in the Southern Hemisphere, prompting its owners to later open a bakery and bar right next door.
