Hot off the Grill

There’s always some cool things to look forward to when getting ready for a new school year – shiny new shoes, pimping out the pencil case with some exciting (yet often pretty unnecessary) stationery, then of course meeting and making new friends! Here at Grill’d we believe in getting started early, so we want to hook you up with a new buddy before school even starts.
Meet our Drink Buddies. They’ve just landed at Grill’d and are ‘keeping it cool’ for kids heading back to school (yeah...we just rhymed cool with school – watch out!).
Drink Buddies are aluminium drink bottles that look awesome (there are 4 different designs available) and also keep your drink nice and chilled in a totally safe way. Drink Buddies are BPA free which means they don’t contain a yucky chemical that’s found in many plastic bottles and containers. We’re all about cutting out the yuckies (our burgers are preservative free and made with only the freshest ingredients), so we’re pretty chuffed that Drink Buddies can help out with the safe drinking water side of things. Unfortunately we can’t help cut all the yuckies of heading back to school like the science teacher with the daggy dress sense.
Also getting your hands on your own Drink Buddy means you can show the environment some L-O-V-E! Using the refillable and reusable Drink Buddy means cutting down the number of plastic drink bottles which means great things for the planet . The trees and dolphins will thank you!
Kids 7 and under can get their own Drink Buddy with a Mini Me Pack for $11. We’re calling it a Mini Me Buddy Bundle! If you’re a big kid, you don’t have to worry about missing out because a Drink Buddy can be yours for just $6!

Fans, supporters and burger lovers,
Grill’d Healthy Burgers will be closing on Christmas day but we will be back better than ever on Boxing Day and open all other days until the New Year (NYE and NYD included!).
In order to feed more hungry shoppers, some locations have had slight changes to operating hours. We suggest checking the trading hours of your local Grill’d in the locations section of our website.
We want to wish you all the best for a happy festive season and prosperous New Year and remember we don’t sneak any surcharges on our food prices on public holidays, it’s un-Australian!

We’ve hit the home stretch! The 2011 Grill’d Movember offer ends this Thursday, November 17 so make sure you don’t miss out!
The response from Mo Bros and Mo Sistas has been inspiring to all involved. A few lucky punters now have their own mo combs and some even have their own personalised combs thanks to the assistance of several highly talented tattoo artists.
All of our team members have been working extra hard to make sure Mo Bros and Mo Sistas get an amazing Grill’d experience each and every visit. If you’ve enjoyed your Grill’d experience as much as we’ve enjoyed looking after you, make sure you let your local Grill’d team know next time you pop in – they’ll appreciate it.
Thousands of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas are helping make 2011 the successful thus far and it’s not too late to make your own contribution. Register with Movember and raise $40 to be entitled to one free burger per day. Our mo-mentus offer runs between 2.00pm and 3.30pm or 8.00pm and 9.30pm until November 17. Dine in essential so we can give you the best Grill’d experience.

Another year has passed, October has reached the mid-way point and it’s almost time for Movember! The technical way to describe the word Movember is as a portmanteau of the words 'moustache' and 'November.’ Movember is all about raising awareness and monetary support for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression.
As you prepare your upper-lip for a glorious moustache and we get ready to welcome Mo Bro’s & Mo Sista’s at Grill’d, we thought we’d let you in on the finer details of our Movember offer. So, before moustache season officially begins, please take note of the following…
You’ll need to register with Movember and raise $40 to be entitled to one free burger per day. Our mo-mentus offer runs between 2.00pm and 3.30pm or 8.00pm and 9.30pm each day from November 8-17. Dine in essential so we can give you the best Grill’d experience.
The theme at Grill’d for Movember is a combination of high quality, traditionally made and hand crafted. This theme ties in closely to our Grill’d values and what we try to achieve with every burger made. Hopefully you can taste that it in our burgers (the love, hand crafted goodness and quality, not the Mo – that’s gross).
So, now’s the time to start thinking about how you’ll raise $40 for Movember and planning your moustache of choice for the season. Ready, set, mo…!

Hello friends! Well we’ve been quiet for a bit but that’s because we’ve been super busy gearing up for summer… and that means it’s almost summer festival time. To kick it off we are super excited to announce our partnership of Parklife Sydney 2011! We love our live music almost as much as our burgers (note the almost…) so to enjoy both at the same time we are bringing along the Grill’d Airstream. You can check out all the details on Parklife here. Banish those two day old dim sims and soggy chips to memories of festivals past because we’ll be there creating the country’s best burgers, prepared fresh and with the highest quality ingredients to keep you fuelled for the day’s frivolities!

We thought it timely to touch base and get you up to speed on some exciting new happenings here at Grill’d in the month of June.
In Victoria we’re getting behind the Feed Melbourne campaign (www.feedmelbourne.org.au), which aims to raise money to help charities collect, store and distribute food to Victorians who are doing it tough. You might be surprised to learn that this year it is estimated 370,000 Victorians will, at some stage, not know when or where their next meal is coming from.
In New South Wales we’re supporting OzHarvest (www.ozharvest.org), a charity that rescues excess food which would otherwise be discarded and delivers meals to charities supporting the vulnerable. Currently in Sydney OzHarvest delivers 150,000 meals per month with a fleet of 7 vans. That’s a lot of meals!
We’d love your help in supporting these amazing charities. So visit your local Grill’d this month and after you’ve ordered your burger, we’ll give you a token (ok, it’s a bottle top). All we ask is that you put your token in one of the 3 jars representing 3 local groups associated with these charities. These groups are at the coal-face of providing much needed support to people who are doing it tough.
By the end of the month, we estimate we’ll have donated well over $20,000 to local charity groups associated with Feed Melbourne and OzHarvest. Not a bad effort.
We hope the jars and tokens will become a regular fixture at Grill’d as part of our Local Matters project, and in future months we’ll be taking the project to other States. Every month our Local Matters trolley will be featuring 3 different local groups who will be asking for your support. And we’ll be stumping up a $500 donation at each Grill’d to share amongst them. If you want to find out more or get your group’s name on one of our jars check out the Local Matters page on our website.

Yesterdays sunny weather was the perfect setting for the annual "“Run For The Kids"” Fun Run, with 33,000 runners of all abilities descending upon Melbourne’s CBD. Once again we got on board and sponsored Team 100k – a group of amazing individuals who band together to raise as much moolah as possible for the Royal Children’s Hospital. In fact, for the third year running Team 100k will be the highest fundraising team in the event – an amazing effort.
All Team 100k members were invited back to Grill’d Degraves for some post run frivolity and the Grill’d Airstream was on hand in the event village to keep runners and spectators well nourished long after the run was done and dusted.
Thanks to everyone who supported the event.
