New Red Rooster Cheeseburger just dropped — here's why fans are already ‘obsessed'
From July 2, the iconic Aussie chicken brand is launching a brand-new menu obsession: the Red Rooster Cheeseburger, a crunchy, saucy, indulgent take on the classic that promises to shake up the burger scene as only Reds can.
Red Rooster, affectionately known as Reds, has already proven its chops in the fried chicken gam,e and now it's stepping up with a burger that's built to impress.
This isn't your average cheeseburger; it's a full-flavoured, cheese-loaded creation stacked with Reds' legendary crunchy chicken tenders.
Featuring a signature US-style smokey cheese sauce (exclusive to Red Rooster), and a slice of melty cheese, all nestled in a soft toasted bun.
According to Ashley Hughes, Red Rooster's Director of Marketing, the team went all-in on fan feedback.
'We've had fans begging us for a cheesy burger, so we went big. This is a whole new breed of burger, a rich, cheesy flavour bomb that's made to be devoured. We don't do things halfway,this is how Red Rooster does burgers.'
Test groups have already raved, calling it 'next-level good' and 'a full-blown cheese hug.'
It's crunchy, it's cheesy and it's unapologetically crave-worthy.
And for those wondering whether indulging in cheese could come with a side of guilt, science says no.
A 2024 study in Nature Human Behaviour found that cheese lovers reported better overall mood than those who preferred fruit. Another study in Nutrients (2023) even linked regular cheese consumption to improved brain function in older adults.
Thanks to tyrosine, an amino acid found in cheese that stimulates dopamine, the 'feel-good' neurotransmitter, your brain is wired to enjoy it.
So yes, that Red Rooster Cheeseburger might actually put you in a better mood. You're welcome.
Even better, cheese lovers can unlock exclusive, limited-time-only menu items via the Reds App or Red Rooster's website here, available through Reds Exclusives. The line-up includes:

Australian shares dip as banks slip, while miners gain
The Australian share market has moved into the red as a rotation out of banking stocks and into the iron ore giants continues. At noon AEST on Thursday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 31 points, or 0.36 per cent, to 8,566.7, while the broader All Ordinaries had slipped 27.9 points or 0.32 per cent, to 8,799.7. Just three of the ASX's 11 sectors were in the green at midday - health care, energy and materials. The latter was the biggest gainer, rising 2.1 per cent after China vowed to crack down on "disorderly low-price competition" in the steel industry and phase out some industrial capacity. "The move shows China's leaders are trying to tackle deflationary pressures weighing on the economy," ANZ researchers Brian Martin and Daniel Hynes wrote in a note. "The plans should also bring some relief to the steel industry, which has been weighed down by overcapacity." BHP was on track for its best day since April 10, rising 4.3 per cent to $38.81. Rio Tinto had advanced 1.5 per cent, Fortescue had climbed 0.9 per cent and Mineral Resources was up 5.7 per cent. In the energy sector, coalminers were ascendant, with Whitehaven gaining 9.4 per cent and New Hope advancing 6.1 per cent. But uranium plays were losing ground, with Boss Energy down 7.4 per cent, Bannerman sliding 5.8 per cent and Paladin subtracting 4.7 per cent. The big four banks were also mostly lower, with CBA declining 1.6 per cent, Westpac subtracting 1.0 per cent and NAB down 1.3 per cent. ANZ was the outlier, edging 0.2 per cent higher. In the consumer sector, Kmart owner Wesfarmers had declined 2.3 per cent, JB Hi Fi had dropped 5.6 per cent and Aristocrat Leisure had slipped 1.8 per cent. In health care, Pro Medicus had advanced 6.2 per cent after the medical imaging giant signed a $170 million, 10-year contract to provide services to a chain of 14 hospitals in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. The Australian dollar was buying 65.69 US cents, from 65.70 US cents at midday on Wednesday.

Expert shares simple daily habit that makes you more productive
'No shoes in the house' is a common rule for many Aussie households. For some, wearing shoes inside is considered downright gross. But what happens if this habit is actually holding you back from being your most productive self? For some people, especially those with ADHD, wearing shoes inside actually helps them get more done. Across TikTok and Reddit forums, people have shared how it makes them more likely to jump up and put a load of washing on, vacuum the lounge or even just move around more, instead of doom-scrolling on the sofa. And according to an expert, this quirky hack might actually have some truth behind it. Joanna Bailey, a clinical psychologist and the director of Bluebird Psychology, says while wearing shoes indoors isn't a 'miracle fix' for productivity issues, it can still be one of the small, creative tools to try out. The science behind the shoe hack While there aren't any published studies directly linking indoor footwear with improved productivity, Ms Bailey, who has ADHD herself, says there are some convincing psychological reasons why it might work. For many, putting on shoes is a mental cue that it's time to get moving, just as people find dressing in work clothes, even at home, helps them feel more focused. 'Wearing shoes creates a psychological 'work mode',' she tells 'And can signal readiness to leave the house or start an active task'. This can act as a mental cue to shift from 'relaxation/home mode' into 'get-things-done mode,' she explains. And for people with ADHD, who often struggle with switching between states (often called 'task initiation' or 'switching'), that external cue can be a game-changer. 'Putting on shoes can help signal a shift in context — a strategy known as 'environmental scaffolding',' she says. There's also a sensory aspect to it. Many people with ADHD are especially sensitive to certain textures or sensations, and putting on shoes helps them avoid distractions like a cold or dusty floor, freeing up mental energy for focus. And then there's the movement factor. Most of us associate putting on shoes with being outside, being active, or running errands. So Ms Bailey says that putting them on inside can create a mental link that makes a person feel more ready to move around. Another reason why it might boost productivity is that it could be part of a person's 'getting ready routine'. 'These sorts of routines can act as an anchor to start the day with intention and momentum,' she says. 'Repeating a ritual (like putting on shoes) can reduce decision fatigue and mental clutter.' It's not a one-size-fits-all solution Of course, this won't work for everyone, and Ms Bailey is quick to point out that personal preference is key. 'For some, wearing shoes inside can feel uncomfortable, restrictive or even distracting,' she notes. 'For others, it can be grounding and empowering.' And like many ADHD strategies, it's all about trial and error. One person might love it, another might prefer slippers, warm socks or going barefoot. And for those without ADHD, she encourages personal experimenting as well. If it works for you, great. If not, there's no need to force it. Other ADHD productivity hacks Whether or not you try the shoe hack, Ms Bailey suggests people think about what signals your brain to switch into focus mode. This could include things like working in a specific chair or at a certain desk. You could also try 'body doubling,' which is working alongside someone else who's doing their own tasks. Another trick is the 'one more minute rule,' she says. 'When you're feeling stuck, tell yourself you'll do the task for just one more minute. This tricks the brain into continuing beyond that minute once started.' Breaking tasks into micro-tasks may also prove effective. For example, instead of aiming to clean the whole kitchen, start with just putting one dish in the dishwasher.
