It's that time of year again. It's when you start to see the twitching of the upper lip on many a modern day gentleman. Office chatter starts to turn to descriptors of last year's facial follicle efforts, and moustache styles such as the "Chopper" and the "Undercover Brother" become common language. Movember is around the corner and we're pleased to say we're back on board again as a proud supporter.
This will be our 5th year of support, and over the journey we've worked with the team behind Movember to help raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. We've also managed to give away a few burgers to the stars of the show ? the Mo Bros who donate their faces to the cause.
Movember 2010 is all about the modern gentleman. The team at Movember say that a well maintained moustache is a symbol of the modern gentleman ? a coat of arms on a man's face if you like. So we decided what better way to support the modern gentlemen of Movember than to establish our own not so secret society and hold clandestine gatherings of moustachio'd gentlemen (and gentle ladies, less the mo's). The Grill'd Guild is a way for all the citizens of Movember to come together and enjoy each other's company with a burger (on us).
That's right, membership has its privileges. Members of the Grill'd Guild will be entitled to one free burger per day between 2.00pm and 3.30pm or 8.00pm and 9.30pm each day from November 9-18. Dine in essential.
Simply register at Movember, raise $40 or more and you'll receive a special Movember email instructing you how to get your hands on our nifty Grill'd Guild Official Membership Card (your ticket to free burgers).

When will the burger love end!
Today the Grill'd Airstream dropped in on the Salvation Army Oasis Youth Network in Surry Hills. The Oasis Youth Support Network gives homeless and disadvantaged young people hope, help and opportunities to access relevant education, training, jobs, counseling, and drug/alcohol programs.
We fired up the Grill'd Airstream over lunch and we're happy to say everyone enjoyed the chance to grab a burger on us.
Joining us at Oasis was Ronni Kahn, the inspirational founder of Sydney food rescue charity Oz Harvest, who deliver over 5,000 meals a day to local charities (including the Oasis Youth Support Network).
Big thankyou to Robbin and the team at the Salvation Army, and Ronni Kahn and the team behind Oz Harvest for letting us pop in today.

With the weather gods smiling, the Burger Love Tour rolled into Bondi Beach on Saturday. The Grill'd Airstream was on hand to bring the burger love to Bondi, with our healthy burgers enjoyed by the everyone from locals to backpackers (and even a lifeguard or 2!).
We were joined again by the team at Secret Wars who put on a show for the crowd, with 2 of Sydney's finest street artists putting paint to canvas and delivering their artistic interpretation of "Burger Love at the Beach".
For the record, Creon took the honours on the day, with the crowd deciding his art best captured the day (that's his work on the left).
Thanks to everyone who came down and made it a wonderful day of burger love!

The Burger Love Tour rolled into Circular Quay yesterday, with the Grill'd Airstream on hand to share the burger love with those who made the effort to pop down and check us out. The guys at Secret Wars put on a live art battle, with the artistic talents of Mr Sprinkles & Houl on show for all to see. At the end of the day the crowd gave it up for Mr Sprinkles and he walked away as the winner of Round 1 of the Burger Love Tour. Great work Mr Sprinkles!
Round 2 takes place at Bondi Beach this Saturday (23 October) from 12pm ? 1.30pm. Local artists Bridge Stehli and Creon will take to the walls and face off on their artistic interpretation of ?Burger Love at the beach?. The Grill'd Airstream will be on hand again to keep the burger love coming with free burgers from 12pm ? 1.30pm (or until we run out). Hopefully see you there.
Love Grill'd

We've heard your cries that you'd love a location in Brisbane CBD. So we're pleased to say we've found a cosy spot in the newly refurbished Eagle Street Pier which is undergoing a bit of a transformation. As their signs say, they're improving the menu!.
For our burger fans south of the river, we?re also setting up on Boundary Street in West End.
If it stops raining (!), we hope to have both of these new restaurants open before Movember.
If you?re not signed up to our mailing list, sign up here before the 25th of October, we?ll send you a 2 for 1 Opening Gift.
See you at Grill'd Eagle Street Pier & West End soon!

To help celebrate the arrival of the Grill?d Airstream we?re embarking on the Burger Love Tour across Melbourne and Sydney over the next few months, popping up at select locations in each city, shouting a free burger and a good time to those who are lucky enough to come across the Grill?d Airstream.
Helping to bring the Burger Love Tour to life will be the team behind Secret Wars, a live art experience that turns creativity into sport with two artists battling it out over 90 minutes to create a unique piece of art using only black paint and markers on a plain white canvas. The artists will be given themes influenced by the locations on the Burger Love Tour, with the crowd on hand at each location deciding who wins.
It all kicks off next week in Sydney with The Burger Love Tour visiting Circular Quay (First Fleet Park) on Wednesday 20 October, 12pm ? 1.30pm & Bondi Beach on Saturday 23 October, 12pm ? 1.30pm. Be sure to come by, say hi, and grab a burger on us. Find out the full detail here.
