URBAN GOURMET BURGER


BY JEANETTE MUSEMBI

As
 a food lover; I love seeing new culinary trend take hold, inspiring new eateries and causing older establishments to up their game.  So I was wondering if you had noticed the current fad that is taking Nairobi by storm: gourmet burgers.

Fast food used to mean a slightly dodgy kebab; a burger shop or a bucket of crisped-to –death chicken. Now the creeping gentrification of the snack is going mainstream after winning us over at festivals and urban pop-ups. Gourmet burgers are in, as fast food turns into to-quality cuisine.
Diners looking for a burger that is a cut above the preservative- laden stereotype have been making some outlets so popular that it’s not uncommon to see overbooked reservations at the weekends.



Burgers featured in today’s menu are topped with delights such as beacon and blue cheese dressing; pineapple and chilies, and goat’s cheese with tomato. Of course, the secret to all gourmet cooking is using fresh ingredients.

When the hunger pangs comes calling, there’s little to beat a bf, succulent burger. Located in Nairobi’s Westgate Mall; Urban Burger has earned a great reputation for its burgers made from selected meat cuts with a low fat content, no preservatives; low-GI buns and everything fresh.
