Elevate Your Burger Game: Quality, Flavor, and Trends
An empty table can be one of the most expensive things to a restaurant operator. Full House: Tips for Foodservice Success offers tips, trends, and new ideas to keep your dining room full.
Burgers are not just a menu item—they’re an experience! By keeping an eye on emerging food trends, you can ensure that your menu stays relevant and exciting. Here’s a few suggestions to incorporate some of the latest trends into your offering this season:
Snack hype
In a world where meals are so last year, shareables are taking center stage. Translating main entrée hits like burgers into sliders can be a great way to maximize margins and offer small, delicious bites that allow diners to explore new flavors and old favorites in a communal format.
Need some inspiration? Draw from the differences in our Certified Angus Beef® blends:
- The Classic Ground Chuck: A go-to burger blend, this 80/20 mix is made from chuck, known for its juiciness, flavor, and tenderness.
- The Trio Blend: Our popular signature blend of Chuck, Sirloin, and Brisket. This mix delivers outstanding flavor.
- The Ridiculous Burger: An over-the-top juicy experience! Made from Brisket, Sirloin, and Ribeye. It’s the Prime Rib of burgers.
- The Prime: The best of the best. 100% Certified Angus Beef® Prime ground chuck. Only the top 3% of beef qualifies for this label.
Complex heat
Heat in food is evolving from brain-exploding hot sauce to nuanced and multidimensional chili oil. Burgers can complement this trend, offering a layer of flavor and complexity that will tantalize the taste buds. Adding trending toppings to classic offerings is a great way to draw attention down the menu.
Try a Spicy Chili Oil burger! Start with our Trio Blend patty, then add house-made chili oil, smoked gouda, cucumber, red onion, arugula, garlic aioli, served on a toasted brioche bun.
