It’s a pretty solid bet that anyone reading this used Deliveroo at least once this year to have food delivered to them due to extreme exhaustion (*cough* hungover as fuck *cough*). Probably many times. Maybe – if you are, say, me – you spent half your yearly pay check on getting pizza and burgers walked right to your door. At the same time.
Stats are fun when they’re about food, and Deliveroo just dropped the top 100 meals ordered by punters like us around the world for 2017. Given Australia‘s population is significantly lower than many other countries, you’d be forgiven for thinking none of our lil’ stores would have made the cut.
WRONG. We got nine in there. One even came in at #11, can you believe. Can you guess it?
You guessed wrong. It’s the humble burrito from Guzman Y Gomez. Apparently Sydney can’t get enough of the lil’ meat wrap. I definitely ordered at least 10 in one very financially bad month.
Mary’s in Newtown, Sydney slid in at #46 which will surprise literally no one who has ever visited the famed burg establishment.
Other Aussie’s who made the cut?
Golden Axe Burger, 8 Bit – Melbourne (#71), Poached Chicken Pho, Hanoi Hannah – Melbourne (#75), The OG Poke Bowl, Fishbowl – Sydney, (#79), Sabbaba Vegan Pitta, Sabbaba – Sydney (#81), Salted Caramel and White Chocolate Gelato, Gelato Messina – Sydney (#86), Japanese Fried Chicken Wings, Soi Noodle Bar – Canberra (#91) and Chilli Wagyu Beef Dumplings, Oriental Teahouse Chapel Street – Melbourne (#98).
Not bad, mates. Not bad.
