Raph Rashid s American diner-inspired burger spot, Beatbox Kitchen, will close its doors this weekend after more than four years. The Sydney Road outlet was born out of a pioneering food truck of the same name, that became an instant hit in Melbourne after appearing at music festivals in 2009.
No reason was given for the closure, announced on Instagram, and the team has not responded to a request for a comment.

Beatbox became known for its stripped-back burgers that cast aside much of the additional fare that make Australian examples at times unwieldy. Beetroot, egg and, on some burgers, even lettuce were MIA.
