after experimenting with yeasty brioche buns (baked things with yeast are bloody moody and sensitive) and different recipes in the last few weeks I finally figured it out. made a pretty perfect burger bun and filled it with yummie goodness. Thanks to @joshuaweissman for the awesome recipe. Check out his YouTube channel!!

sadly I don’t have any detailed memories of visiting @arenawien in my earlier years but I definitely always had a great time there. 😅😉 one moment in time that stuck with my mind was a @sigurros concert in which suddenly a marching band walked from somewhere unseen over the stage and back into nothingness creating this amazing emotional sound effect. I recently went back there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. A lot of things have changed over the years but the prevailing mood still feels mostly the same. . . . #ArenaWien #vienna #concertlocation #eventlocation #igersaustria #igersvienna #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #sony24mmf14gm #nightshot #intothenight #latenighttales #light #eventphotography #vienna365 (at ARENA WIEN) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HOrhJIKjP/?igshid=xqb0pz9wxgrc
