What’s more classically American than a fantastic burger? Culinary experts have helped this staple choice evolve far beyond its origins built on ketchup, mustard, and ordinary lettuce.
Burger aficionados now implement unique toppings to seek out burgers that make for a perfect canvas for every foodie’s quest for creativity and elevated taste experiences.
At Eat Fantastic, our focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and signature sauces sets the stage for truly gourmet experiences. We transform the ordinary into the extraordinary for everyday amazing food.
How Unique Burger Toppings Deliver an Exceptional Taste Experience
We believe the secret to a standout burger lies in its toppings. Every element plays a role in creating a balance of flavors, textures, and visual appeal, and toppings are the key to breaking away from traditional restraints.
We’ve listed just three great reasons to explore creative options:
- Bold flavors. Expertly curated toppings deliver a punch to the taste and texture of high-quality beef.
- Global influences. Ingredients like fresh pineapple and avocado bring a worldly twist to a great California burger, meshing diverse culinary traditions.
- Elevated experience. Additional touches like juicy pastrami and crispy bacon take the burger from fast food to gourmet fare.
Let’s Take a Closer Look at Some Unique Burger Toppings
Eat Fantastic takes a serious approach to making your burger experience fun — and something you’ll look forward to trying again soon!
Chili: Classic Comfort Elevated
Chili burgers combine two beloved American dishes into one. Adding a spoonful of hearty chili to your burger presents a new flavor profile thanks to the notable spices and tomato-based ingredients that blend together in a pot.
Enhance a chili burger with either caramelized or crispy fried onions for a satisfying taste. Pair the burger with a sharp cheese for an extra flavor punch.
Pineapple: Sweet Meets Savory
We all have heard the polarizing jokes about pineapple on pizza. However, there’s no real dispute about the caramelized sweetness and juicy texture pineapple delivers to a fresh burger experience.
Grilling enhances natural pineapple sugars and adds a slight smokiness — making it the perfect counterpoint to beef and other spicy or savory ingredients. For example, pair pineapple with smoky bacon or jalapeños to create a harmonious blend of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors.
Teriyaki Sauce: Flavor Fusion
A staple of Eat Fantastic’s Maui Burger, teriyaki sauce blends both sweet and tangy flavors. Drizzling this sauce over the cooked meat or spreading it onto a soft bun will elevate a simple burger into an incredible culinary experience. While traditionally used in Japanese dishes, teriyaki sauce works seamlessly as a topping for a classic American burger.
Pair this ingredient with complimentary flavors for a bold burger that delights all of your taste buds. If choosing to add a smattering of sauce to your burger, opt for a house-made recipe featuring ingredients like soy sauce, brown sugar, and fresh, grated ginger.
Pastrami: A Sandwich Staple
You don’t have to venture far from other sandwiches to find mouthwatering yet unique burger toppings. Pastrami sandwiches remain popular on their own. However, add this juicy, cured meat on top of a ground beef burger patty and you won’t eat this dish any other way.
You can’t go wrong with your classic topping ingredients between the patty and the pastrami. Pay homage to the traditional deli sandwich with a mustard spread on the bun.
Jalapeño: A Spicy Kick
Heat enthusiasts are familiar with the perfect touch of fire that jalapeños deliver. Fresh slices deliver a crisp, sharp spice, while pickled jalapeños offer a tangier, more mellow heat.
Both versions add a vibrant green color that enhances your dish’s visual appeal. Try matching jalapeños with cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, and crispy onion rings to create a bold and exciting flavor profile.
Guacamole: Creamy Freshness
Californians are natural experts in guacamole crafted from ripe avocados, lime, and cilantro for a creamy texture and zesty flavor. It makes an amazing fresh alternative to traditional condiments that’s healthy and brings superior taste.
Guacamole is particularly delicious with other southwestern-inspired toppings like pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo, or crispy tortilla strips.
