Enjoying my $A36/$US27 meal credit at Benny Burger in the international terminal at SYD. Will get some photos uploaded when I arrive home. SFO bound in an hour.

Benny Burger in T1 at SYD (international terminal after security - using a larger photo size so you can read the menu):
My chicken with avocado burger, cookie and organic cola came to $A29. I had asked for two cookies but the clerk must have misheard me. That would have got me closer to the $A36 ($US27). She also told me I would have to pay for anything over $A36.

Taste okay?
Airport prices are usually inflated.

Looks pretty good, and airport prices are inflated, but keep in mind there are exactly 0 Priority Pass lounges at SYD, so unless you have lounge access through your airline status or ticket, you're SOL for food and drink. I think there's only 1 or 2 on the entire continent! Australia is a barren wasteland for PP lounges.

A little greasy, but the burger tasted O.K.
A$10.50 for a hamburger works out to $US7.87. Seems pretty fair for airport food.
I did have a domestic Qantas flight from another terminal when I first arrived in Sydney and took a quick look at Wok on Air in T3. They had an American breakfast for $A15/$US11.25. I was full from my arrriving Qantas SYD-SFO so did not order anything there.

Where is the A$10.50 shown?

If you flew QF, the QF lounge must be better than any of these restaurants?

I'm been into the Qantas first class lounge a few times (PHOTOS from 2016), but Alaska does not have an arrangement for its flyers there. I did use the Qantas business class lounge in MEL on an AA award MEL-SYD on a different date last week.

OTOH, if you are AA Plat or EXP flying in QF coach, you get access via OneWorld status.
I assume if flying QF premium cabin, even it is an AS award, you should get access to QF lounge. I dont believe QF would deny lounge access if you are in QF J or F, on an award issued by AS.
Premium Class of Service on the operating airline always get you lounge access of that airline.
