3 breakout burger flavors

Looking forward to something new and improved on your burger menu? New trends include pickled and fried green tomatoes. More nutrient dense greens, like kale, for burger enthusiasts seeking a health kick with their toppings. And following the health trend is greater interest in higher quality proteins, like brisket in place of bacon.

Key Takeaways:

  • Taking a cue from the South, operators are pickling and frying green tomatoes as an alternative to run-of-the-mill red tomato slices. Green tomato chutneys and jams are also showing up as sweet-savory burger condiments.
  • The better-burger movement is fueling demand for higher-quality ingredients. As a result, operators are upscaling burger blends to include brisket in the grind.
  • Barbecue brisket is also a trending topping, says Tristano, as more protein-on-protein burgers are emerging as alternates to bacon.
