I am a huge burger fan. While there is this huge community of pizza lovers around the world, I have been a burger loyalist for long. From the simple homemade burgers to the quick fast-food eatery burger meals, I don’t mind either of them. However, it would be wrong to simply assume that burgers are just an act of layering things one on top of the other, without much effort. A lot goes into making a perfect burger and not everyone can master the art quickly.
While it’s ironic to say that a dish belonging to the fast-food category can be part of gourmet food, the burger connoisseurs have turned the tables.
What’s so special about artisanal or gourmet burgers you ask? Well, right from the selection of the buns to the meat for the patty, everything is carefully curated and proportioned. The right kind of fresh vegetables are chosen to go along with a particular protein and high-quality meat is sourced for each burger. The end result is a masterpiece that fills your mouth with an abundance of flavours, reaching your taste buds, layer by layer.
Here, we’ve dug out some of the hot spots of Delhi where you can find these gourmet burgers.
