    this place has become an uber advertisement forum… I mean… $12 bux for a corn beef burger delivered… not bad for delivered food… but wouldn't say its a crazy bargain..

    • No on 26/06/2015 - 10:21

      I think the $12 goes to charity. Its not exactly clear but Uber says they have donated 10k as part of this promo.

      • DealzEddy123 on 26/06/2015 - 10:26

        no I think it's a cool fun thing.. just don't think it's a bargain.

        "The best part? Every single dollar raised goes to OzHarvest to help provide over 50,000 meals to Australians in need."

      how much would you pay for a lunch by these chefs?
      I think $12 is a bargain especially if it's delivered to me and i don't have to enter one of their restaurants.

      • DealzEddy123 on 26/06/2015 - 10:32

        yeh true, I suppose the delivery makes it a bargain. all restaurant lunches are made by a chef.

        • No on 26/06/2015 - 11:11

          The Perth lunch is from Rockpool. The cheapest burger there is $16..

      • furyou on 26/06/2015 - 10:53

        for a lunch /by a restaurant with the name of these chefs associated with it/

        You mean oversee by these chefs and prepared by their workers?

      • cornucopia on 26/06/2015 - 11:28

        '$12 will automatically be charged to your registered card upon delivery' Probably means credit card registered within the app. So you do have to be a Uber registered user, which is the point I was making. Not sure why all the trolls neged my comment but then again trolls will troll…. unhappy people.

          Do you even English?
          I'm happy you eventually figured out that credit card =/= "uber card" but to chuck a hissy fit over your own lack of comprehension and communication skills is guaranteed to get you negged

    Looks to be restricted to those within the CBD only, waiting curbside with their Uber phones. I'd go for it if I was in the city.

    • senorclean on 26/06/2015 - 10:50

    How much does it normally cost to have George Calombaris deliver you a burger ???

    • Malarkey on 26/06/2015 - 11:20

      About $3.50

      • jv on 26/06/2015 - 11:29

        That's a lot malarkey…

          I've never had George delivery it personally.

          I usually get my Executive Assistant to pick it up for me.
          She gets paid $70 an hour + cost of meal.

  • piggyfund on 26/06/2015 - 10:55

    Confirmed it's only in the CBD and you can only order 1 at a time.

  • bocca on 26/06/2015 - 11:11

    Does the chef deliver it too?

  • theguyrules on 26/06/2015 - 11:19

    A whole bunch of people from my work are going to be doing this for lunch, its a shame that we all have to order separately!

        • DealzEddy123 on 26/06/2015 - 13:16

          so did they get a burger

        • theguyrules on 26/06/2015 - 13:37

          @edwinlin88: I was the only one who successfully got an order in, apart from one guy who got his order in but it never showed.
          Also it wasn't a burger here in the GC, it was some brisket thing. Wasn't that nice tbh.
          The fruit salad and banana cake were nice though.

    Neil Perry can be in two places at once?

    Or are they driving the burgers from Sydney to Perth.. (probably collecting uber fares along the way) so you'll get them in 5 days?

  • rvsure on 26/06/2015 - 11:56

    Not sure if they charge the amount to Uber credit or the card. If it's Uber credit then it will be free meal delivered to you. Sadly I am a vegetarian so can't use this.

    I wonder if they've sold out in Gold Coast, or its just screwing up. One person managed to order.

    It appears to me like you can only request it when there's a car ready to deliver it, then its the first person to request that car.

    • Bren20 on 26/06/2015 - 12:11

      In terms of logistics I would imagine they would load up heaps of orders into each car

    Yeah the Reuben from aria was a bust. Just had mine delivered and no way was it worth $12.

  • infinite on 26/06/2015 - 13:59

    Pretty misleading title considering it will actually be a small army of unskilled volunteers preparing the food, in any of these kitchens.

  • sycly on 26/06/2015 - 14:19

      • papagoose on 27/06/2015 - 00:26

        Previously ice cream. This time, the ability to pay money in exchange for food. They also have a habit of advertising these promos, but with 'limited to CBD' and '200 or less' in fine print - certainly the email I got said "Between 12-2pm, simply open the Uber app and request lunch for $12." and that's it.

  • piggyfund on 26/06/2015 - 14:30

    Got lunch in Melb after checking the app for 45 mins, about to give up and get sushi. Was delivered on foot and was made in George Columbaris' various kitchens. The quality is too good to be made by 'unskilled' staff. Maybe lunch assembled by volunteers but macarons and spanikopita looked too well made. I think Melb's menu was pretty impressive and well worth the $12.

    • DealzEddy123 on 26/06/2015 - 15:02

      would be made by contract hospitality staff. their regular staff would be catering to their regular business.
