Pimp your Burger!

When it comes to menu staples there are few things as iconic as a good burger. Although it’s for this very reason that having a stand-out variation is so important.

Funnybones has all the ingredients chefs need to pimp their burger, whether that’s spicing up the sauces, getting creative with plant-based alternatives, or appealing to coeliac diners with gluten-free brioche buns.

When it comes to flavours, sauces and seasonings are an ideal way to instantly diversify a simple menu with minimal effort in a very cost-effective way. Chefs can keep menus fresh by tapping into current food trends, such as international eats. For example, Funnybones Korean BBQ sauce helps chefs tap into demand for popular Korean cuisine by combining all the sticky sweetness of a classic American dip, with the spicy twist of the Far East. With notes of sesame, ginger, garlic, and Asian pear, this sauce goes particularly well in a burger when paired with chilli mayo and kimchi slaw.

On the plant-based front, it’s important for operators not to dismiss vegan options as a Veganuary-only requirement. According to Statista, 4% of the UK population identify as vegan – equating to a whopping 2.6 million Brits. And that’s not including vegetarians and flexitarians. To help operators cater to this demand, Funnybones offers four unique plant-based burgers to choose from; a spicy bean burger for a classic meat-free munch; a vibrant kale and hemp burger, packed with kale, hemp seeds, parsnips, and onions; a spicy cornflake coated chicken-free fillet; or a pea-protein based beef-free burger. Funnybones’ beef-free burger also boasts the advantage of 91% less saturated fat than its’ typical beef counterpart, whilst still being rich in protein, iron, and vitamin B12 – all essential to maintain in a plant-based diet, making it a sure hit with health-conscious diners too. Similarly, Funnybones’ chicken-free fillets are a great option for plant-based customers who don’t want to feel left out when friends are chowing down on a classic chicken burger. Coated in a crispy, spicy, cornflake crunch, the fillets arrive frozen to help reduce waste, and can be prepared in just 4 minutes for speedy service – making them perfect for takeout options to help maximise venue turnover.”

Funnybones Foodservice specialises in American, Tex-Mex and Caribbean foods, offering a wide range of authentic specialist and mainstream products that represent the best of the cuisines from this part of the world.
