A sunny afternoon free in the city after a big meeting, and for a fraction of the cost of hiring a clown as my legally entitled support person I visited Ziggle for the first time and went for their original chicken burger plus fries and a can of soft drink ($25).

I’d heard the rumblings about this chain and this location in particular in this sub before and I’m pleased to say it lives up to the hype. Burger bun was tasty but not over sweet, sauce great, and the main event was a giant slice of fried chicken in sweet chilli sauce. By far the nicest thing I’ve been given to swallow today.

Fries were likewise good, not overly salty, and the portion size for the money is ridiculous. I have been a Burger Fuel partisan for a while but this absolutely dunks on them for flavour and value for money – noting that I’m yet to compare Ziggle’s beef burgers.

Highly recommend. As a bonus there’s an Uptown business precinct promotion on until the end of the month where you can enter with any purchase to win a very disco looking platinum Hop card for free travel all year (they have $150 Hop cards in the draw too). Might come in handy for getting to and from interviews in a constrained fiscal environment.

Better living everyone, and DM if you’re hiring burger reviewers or something.

Excuse the angle – this kingfisher was maybe a metre and a half from me on the fence outside our dining room window. I was concealed by our roller blind and didn’t want to raise it and startle the visitor away, so had to sneakily hold my phone down below blind height to get the shots. Some of the feather detail is really neat close up. Ōkaurirahi/ Glen Eden, Auckland
