The Ideal Foundation: Choosing Your Meat
The soul of a great burger lies in its patty, and at Togather, we understand that better than anyone else. When you book a burger supplier for your event through us, you'll find a range of quality meat options. Traditional favourites include high-quality ground beef, ideally with a fat content of around 20%. Beyond beef, lamb offers a more robust flavour profile, while turkey and chicken make for lighter, leaner choices. Veggie lovers and vegans are also well catered for, with plant-based alternative burgers featuring ingredients like lentils, chickpeas, and jackfruit.
The Magic of Seasoning
Each of our burger suppliers brings their own approach to seasoning, but you can rest assured that whoever you choose, your burger will be perfectly done. While some stick to the classic salt and pepper, others venture into more exotic flavours with spices like smoked paprika or cayenne. Some of our suppliers swear by marinating their patties in a mix of Worcestershire sauce, mustard, or soy sauce for an intense flavour burst. Just don’t ask us the exact ratios - those are top secret.
The Perfect Sear: Cooking Techniques
The cooking method is another crucial component of the burger-building process. Grilling on an open flame imparts a delicious, smoky flavour, whereas a flat griddle or a cast-iron pan creates a beautiful, caramelised crust on the patty. Regardless of the cooking method, achieving the perfect medium-rare finish with a pink and juicy interior requires precision.
The Bun and Beyond: Burger Assembling
Booking a burger van through Togather opens up a world of delectable bun and condiment choices. From sweet and buttery brioche buns to whole grain or sourdough, your bun sets the stage. Condiments range from the traditional ketchup, mustard, and mayo to more adventurous options like chipotle aioli or truffle-infused sauce.
The Crown Jewel: The Cheese
Our suppliers offer a selection of cheese to elevate your burger experience. The classic melt of American cheese, sharp cheddar, creamy brie, or pungent blue cheese - the choice is yours. Just chat to your account manager or to individual suppliers about what you’re looking for.
Burger 2.0: Extra Toppings
Finally, for the adventurous eaters among us, additional toppings can elevate a burger to new culinary heights. Fancy a bit of crispy bacon or smoky ham? Or perhaps a rich, runny fried egg? With Togather, you can explore all these options and more.
In conclusion, the beauty of booking a burger van through Togather lies in the endless possibilities. Whether you're a fan of the classic cheeseburger or enjoy pushing the culinary boundaries, crafting the perfect burger is a delicious journey that we can help facilitate. So, connect with us today and let's craft your mouthwatering burger experience together. Interested in a burger supplier on Togather, and want to understand a bit more about costs?
