Eat at Robs

Time Out30-06-2025
Smash burgers get their name from how they're cooked. Beef patties are smashed onto a blazing hot grill and sizzled until golden brown. The outside ends up with a crisp, caramelised lace-like crust – the best bit about a smash burger. Eat at Robs, located in the front window of Darling Street Meats butchery in Rozelle, specialises in Oklahoma-style smash burgers. And you're gonna wanna try them.
Eat at Robs (short for Rozelle's Original Burger) was born when owner Michael Carter returned home from travelling and found a lack of good smash burger options. What began as a market stall has now grown into a burger shop with many loyal fans (including us).
The menu is short and simple. Choose from a grilled chicken or a smashed burger, featuring 100 per cent grass-fed beef, caramelised onion and melted cheese on a Martin's Potato Roll that are soft, squishy and a little bit sweet. A single cheeseburger will set you back $10.50; make it a double for $12.50, or go all out and order the combo, which comes with chips and your choice of soft drink. There are also off-menu items, like the Aussie burger, the Big Rob and loaded fries – just ask.
Extra toppings, like lettuce, tomato, pickles, guac, beetroot, bacon and more, are available starting at just $1. And there's a bunch of sauces to choose from, like Robs mayo, tomato sauce, smoky barbecue, garlic aioli and spicy Robs. But if it's your first time, we reckon you should start with the classic and add pickles, lettuce and Robs sauce. Warning: the double may bring on a nap—speaking from experience.
Burger lovers, you know what to do – next stop, Rozelle.
These are the best burgers in Sydney.

Monastic music that survived Henry VIII's dissolution brought back to life

Almost five centuries ago a community of monks in the West Country of England gathered to sing, imploring their God to help them endure the challenges of medieval life. Thanks to an extraordinary discovery of music that survived Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in the early 16th century, the songs created by the Buckland Abbey monks were ringing out again across the hills and woods of the Tavy valley in Devon this weekend. The themes are heavy – the threats from disease and crop failures, not to mention powerful rulers – but the polyphonic style is bright and joyful, a contrast to the sort of mournful chants most associated with monks. 'It's an extraordinary rich, textured sound,' said Prof James Clark, a University of Exeter historian, as the university's chapel choir rehearsed at Buckland. 'They're all singing together but following different melodies. It's a sort of melodious cacophony of sound.' Clark found the music while researching Buckland Abbey for the National Trust. Only one book – rather boringly setting out the customs the monks followed – was known to exist, held in the British Library. 'I didn't hold out a great deal of hope it would suddenly open up the lost world of Buckland Abbey,' said Clark. But in the back of the Buckland Book, he came across some leaves of parchment. 'Those leaves contained pieces of chant – text and notation. Though there were 800-plus monasteries in medieval England, you can count almost on one hand pieces of music that survived. 'The Tudor state scrapped Latin worship and the lyrics and music that went with it were largely discarded. Most of this stuff is lost. But there it was, shoved into the back of the book.' The bulk of the book was written in the 15th century but Clark was able to date the music to the early 16th century. 'That made it especially exciting because it transports us to that last generation of monks of the medieval English tradition that had been there for a millennium,' he said. It chimed with another Buckland document from the same era. 'By extraordinary serendipity, it turned out to be the contract for the employment of an organist and choirmaster.' His name was Robert Derkeham, and he would have been hired to improve the singing of the dozen monks who lived at Buckland and the local boys brought in to sing the treble parts. Clark said it was clear that, as well as worshipping God, the monastery was trying to impress patrons by creating wonderful music. 'Monasteries were competing in a very crowded marketplace for investment from patrons,' he said. 'One of the strategies was to upgrade the music. Buckland bought in expertise to turn what may have been a rather ragged choir into something more professional. They were being responsive to cultural change, keeping up with the times and impress their audience.' Derkeham remained at the monastery for more than 15 years, until it was closed and he was pensioned off. Clark said the text was dark. 'It is calling out to what we might call an Old Testament God. One calls out to God to defend his people; one says, 'stay the hand of the avenging angel'; one talks about being in despair. 'I like that sense that it carries us back to a moment in time. In our world, medieval religion is becoming ever more difficult for us to grasp. I think this helps us return to an understanding that it was a sensory experience,' said Clark. 'If we're going to do these people who died 500 years ago some sort of justice as historians, we've got to understand the world as they saw it and as experienced it.' The book has been loaned to Buckland by the British Library and can be viewed at the abbey. The University of Exeter Chapel Choir will perform the music live in Buckland Abbey's medieval Great Barn on 16 and 17 August.

It went down 7.3 miles south-west of the Balearic island Formentera, according to Superyacht Times. The fire reportedly started in the engine room and quickly ripped through the lux boat - though it isn't clear exactly what sparked it. A large red fire-fighting vessel rushed out, and images show it dousing the burning wreck with a jet of water. In a post on X on Monday, the local marine rescue said: "CCS Palma deployed Guardamar Concepción Arenal and Salvamar Naos, which also transported firefighters. "The seven crew members have been evacuated by the Naos to land in good condition.

"The Guardamar remains in the area cleaning up debris." The fire initially appeared to be under control, but the blaze escalated when rescue boats began to pull the yacht, according to Ultimate Hora. The yacht was manufactured by Astondoa, and part of their 95 GLX series, manufactured between 1997 and 2004. It features accommodation for ten guests on top of an owner's suite. 6 Fire crews rushed to the scene but were unable to save the vessel Credit: X 6 Marine patrols remained on the scene to monitor the sinking wreck Credit: X

6 popular tumble dryer models recalled over fire hazard, with homeowners being told to ‘stop using them immediately'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOMEOWNERS have been warned that six tumble dryer models have been recalled over fire safety fears. Owners of the appliances have been told to stop using them immediately and disconnect them from the power supply. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The dryers affected by the recall Credit: Argos 2 The dryers are being sold in Argos Credit: Getty - Contributor Argos has announced that a manufacturing fault in a number of Hoover and Candy appliances could lead to internal short circuits, which could in turn cause fires. The affected models are specific heat pump and condenser dryers produced since January 2019. They include two Candy integrated heat pump dryers with catalogue numbers 9203561 and 8789842. Four Hoover models are also affected, including three integrated heat pump models in white (9072905, 7666258, and 8175528) and one in black (8732552). Haier Europe, which owns Hoover and Candy has identified a technical issue involving "inconsistency in the production" process that triggers electrical faults. The manufacturer said the risk of fire is "rare", but has chosen to recall the products to prioritise consumer safety. Households in possession of one of the dryers will be visited by qualified engineers, who will perform safety modifications free of charge. To verify whether your appliance requires modification, you can enter the serial number on Haier's product safety website. This product recall is an extension of a previous recall announced in June, which affected just two models. The previous notice also highlighted the risk of the products short-circuiting, but described the danger as "low risk". Viral 'Dubai-style' chocolate is pulled from UK supermarket shelves over dangerous health risk Argos has apologised to customers affected by the notice, and emphasised that no other Haier, Hoover, or Candy products the retailer sells are affected. More product recalls This comes as the Goblin cordless vacuum is being removed from supermarket shelves, after a fire risk was uncovered. A statement on the UK Government's website reads: "It has been identified that in some units of the Goblin handheld vacuum, the battery may overheat. "This could pose a fire safety risk if left on charge and unattended."

Shoppers who own the device have been urged to stop using it, in light of the risks. And Co-op shoppers are being urged to immediately dispose of its pork pies due to a health risk. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced the recall which applies to four-pack Mini Pork and Pickle Pies found at Co-op stores. The reason is because they contain milk which isn't mentioned on the label. Shoppers with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents will be at risk should they eat the pies, the FSA has warned.
