Pitstop Hamburgers, Thora – SMH Good Food app listing
Midway between Bellingen and Dorrigo lies the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town of Thora, home to the Thora General Store – a post office, petrol station, bottle-o and now, a burger bar. Chef Giuseppe Gruwez, formerly of Sixpenny, has taken over the shop’s kitchen and back deck, where he flips smash burgers made with local beef, cheese, onion, pickles, and a sweet, tangy Mississippi comeback sauce, with the option to add on a spicy fried slice of pineapple. Crinkle-cut chips cooked in beef tallow and ice-cold strawberry milkshakes topped with whipped cream and sprinkles add to the nostalgic milk bar vibes.
