Raphael Exton-Pery
Jolly Good
Collingwood
What started as a lockdown pop-up for Raphael quickly turned into a cult following and a reputation for some of Melbourne’s best sandwiches. Now with a permanent home in Collingwood, Jolly Good brings Raf’s background in fine dining (Gimlet, Spensley’s, Little Andorra) into a more casual diner setting, combining a love of great ingredients and finely honed technique.
Jimmy Hurlston
Easey’s Burgers
Collingwood
Since 2012, Jimmy Hurlston has led Easey’s, Collingwood’s cult comfort food spot known for burgers with attitude. He’s built an international reputation through a loyal social media following and his bestselling book The Burger Book – Victoria. Easey’s isn’t about trends, but instead the nostalgia and flavour that hits. Jimmy lives and breathes burgers, and it shows in Easey’s longevity.
Making it legendary
Pair it perfectly
Wood’s Tomato Relish is all about quality ingredients done right. We start with ripe, juicy Australian tomatoes and real chunks of onion, then bring it all together with a carefully balanced mix of vinegar, garlic, and our signature blend of spices. There are no shortcuts, just honest, full-flavoured ingredients that deliver every time. Just ask our legends. From smashed patties to toasted buns, relishes bring flavour that earns its place. It’s why they’re trusted by the best burger minds in the game.

How it’s done
Jimmy Hurlston doesn’t chase trends. In fact, he’s written the book on burgers. He prides himself on flavour, nostalgia and the hunt for his perfect unicorn burger. At Easey’s, Wood’s Tomato Relish brings the balance, tying every stacked element together.
Bacon sizzles, butter hits the patty, and buns get dressed with Wood’s Tomato Relish. Every move counts in Jimmy’s kitchen.
The secret weapon
No burger is truly legendary without a generous dollop of Wood’s Tomato Relish. Made with sweet Australian tomatoes, chunky onion, and our signature spice blend, this rich, full-bodied relish has been a staple in Aussie kitchens since 1985. It’s the go-to for hospitality pros who know the difference a proper condiment can make — adding just the right balance of sweetness and tang to bring a burger to life.

The finishing touches
Raphael Exton-Pery may have earned his stripes in some of Melbourne’s top kitchens, but at Jolly Good he keeps things stripped back. His sandwiches are casual in form, precise in execution.
