Smac's Down Under

Brendan Flowers · 07-01-2013 01:41PM #1

Looks like the Irish in Australia will soon be able to enjoy a Snackbox from home as it seems Supermac's are opening in Oz!

The Irish Fast Food chain is hoping to monopolise on the thousands of Irish emigrants living in Australia

We've probbaly all been to a Supermacs in the wee hours after a night out on the town. Its the place where a Saturday night ofiicially ends and Sunday morning begins.

We love it and hate it all at the same time. But it's Irish and it's ours.....well not for much longer!

Supermacs is making the long journey from Ireland to Australia.

Irish travellers and emigrants no longer have to pine away for a beloved snackbox at 5am on a Sunday morning.

It's hoped the first restaurant will open there within the next year.

The company already has over 100 restaurants across Ireland and the firm's CEO Pat McDonagh says he plans to open four more here in 2013.

Last year Supermacs was also named as one of the ‘must-try’ fast food outlets around the world by Fox News.

The eatery was favoured by the channel because of their wide selection of French fries and the fact that the company claims to have pioneered curry chips and the snack box craze in Ireland.

Watch out Australia....Supermacs is on its way!

Wide selection of French fries?

You can't bate a good garlic cheese chip if that's what they're talking about.

Are there no KFC'S,Micky D's,Burger Kings or Eddie Rockets over there?

gobnaitolunacy · 07-01-2013 01:59PM

Burger King isn't Burger King...it's Hungry Jack's.

Inb4 subjective opinion on how supermacs is shíte yadda yadda yadda and how something to do with dublin, bogger etc.

Micky Dolenz · 07-01-2013 02:10PM

I head you man interviewed on the wireless one day. He was saying he tried to start a pool hall chain but couldn't get planning for the first two so decided to try chippers instead. Came across as a decent chap. More power to him.

Would love a coleslaw chip now.

"Can I have a "Strewth'" burger with a snackbox and a portion of "Stone da flamin' crows, Ailsa!" sauce.....................eh, and a medium "Strike me roan!" drink, please"

As you move further away from Galway the quality of food in supermacs get worse, supermacs in Dublin and Cork are rotten, can't imagine how bad it would be in Oz.

It is nice in Galway though.

Got a absolute sh*t steak baguette in a Supermacs in Cork, 50% of it was fat, you wouldn't give it to a dog.

I got a burger in the one on O'Connell St in Dublin and the burger was cold, it was cooked but about 2 hours beforehand. Got a breakfast roll in the one in Heuston station before too, you'd get better in spar or centra.

That's why I only go to Supermac's when I'm drunk or hungover. It always tastes good then.

The clientele can't get much worse than O'Connell St. Some people in there don't even look human.

The fact that they have a security guard doesn't help your point.

Well it was cooked in galway and transported up

At least thats my understanding of the 'the further from galway it is, the worse it gets' mantra

SEPT 23 1989 · 07-01-2013 02:34PM

The only junk food i have tasted worse than supermacs was Hesburger in Latvia

Defiler Of The Coffin · 07-01-2013 02:35PM

They should set up their first outlet in Bondi Junction near the Tea Gardens. The place would be a goldmine.

Rothmans · 07-01-2013 02:37PM

I prefer Supermacs to McDonald's or Burger King.

More power to them.

Now that's just not true... You have to go through the Midlands ffs :pac:

I liked super macs till I saw the sauce they put on the burgers coming out of what looked like a tec 7 gun.

mikom · 07-01-2013 03:29PM

"Oh my God, Supermacs taco fries are sooooooo much better in OZ"
"Gerry, remember that time we had supermacs on the Gold coast"

If that's all it takes to entice you down under.. :pac:

It really doesn't take much longer to type Supermacs as opposed to Smacs.

Clears up a lot of confusion too.

Where To · 07-01-2013 04:01PM

Supermacs might think they can conquer Australia, but they are wise enough never to invade Donegal. The four lights would whoop their asses

mconigol · 07-01-2013 05:22PM

They might as well just go ahead and rename Oz now. New Ireland??

Vincent: It's the little differences. I mean they got the same shit over there that they got here, but it's just...just there it's a little different.
Jules: Examples?
Vincent: All right, well you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy beer at MacDonald's. You know what they call a...a Supermac Burger with Cheese in Sydney?
Jules: They don't call it a Supermac Burger with Cheese?
Vincent: They wouldn't know what the **** a Supermac Burger is.
Jules: What'd they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Quarterpounder with Cheese.
Jules: [repeating] Quarterpounder with Cheese. What'd they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Mighty Mac Burger.
Jules: Mighty Mac Burger. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. But you know what they put on french fries in Ireland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Curry.
