Burger Perspective

Let’s take a look at what these taste savvy professionals look for in a great burger:

 

Presentation

Ever heard the term “mouthwatering?” Haven’t we all had the experience of excitedly waiting on our meal to arrive when seated at a restaurant?  First impressions can make or break a dish.  If you get served the best burger in the world on a dirty dish or with a sloppy side item, you would instantly recoil.  When looking for a great burger when you first lay your eyes on the dish it can lead you to culinary delight or disaster. Another part of the presentation is the actual structure of the burger.  This may sound very strange but when you are eating a burger with your hands it needs to stick together.  There is absolutely nothing worse than after one bite having a huge mess of ingredients on your plate.  How in the world do you finish?  Restaurants need to make sure their burgers can hold it together until the last bite. 

The Meat

To please an actual burger aficionado, the chef will have to meet high standards.  For one, the meat to topping ratio has to be in perfect harmony.  Few things are worse in the world of food than getting a mouth full of toppings and tasting no meat.  Meat is the foundation of a great burger so tasting it is essential.  Toppings are great and should stand to compliment the meat, not drown it out!  Keep in mind that the opposite is also true.  If you order a mushroom burger but only get a mouth full of meat without the slightest hint of mushroom, then the chef has failed to maintain balance.  As a foodie, critics are looking for juicy, tender meat.  Undercooked and overcooked meat are equally bad in the world of food. Restaurants like Burgerim are getting it right by offering customers a well-balanced burger in every way.  If you are a burger aficionado stop in and try some of our amazing burgers, cooked to perfection!

The Sides Tell It All

The second you lay eyes on the soggy French fries that are supposed to compliment your great burger you can quickly tell the sandwich isn’t going to rate well.  Since the all American classic burger is rarely expected to be served alone, the sides that accompany this dish can speak volumes. Whether it’s a bare side salad with little excitement or burnt French fries, this will quickly make burger aficionado’s recoil.  As a chef make sure, in order to entice your customers, that as much effort goes into you side as does your burger.  The plate as a whole will be the first impression a customer gets of your food, so make it great!
