‘Big bite’ burgers up for grabs

on Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Two pieces of bun, chicken, onion, celery, garlic, a huge slice of cheese, one more layer of all these with beef served in a square plate, bordered by a pack of hot French fries and a bowl of mayonnaise sauce and here comes the yummy big burger!

It is double the size of a normal burger, you can picture the big bites you will have to take. Yes this is the big boy burger — the first item on the menu of the burger fest at Cocoa Tree, Avenue Regent, MG Road in Kochi.

With 15 to 20 burgers on the menu, the fest is catching on with every passing year as fresh items are being added on to the list. “This year, we have introduced the green lamb burger and the parmesan chicken burger,” says Rajith, F&B manager of the hotel.

The green lamb burger comes with peta bread slices, which, unlike the other thick coatings of bread and bun, are thin and easy on your mouth.

The other fast moving dishes are the chicken pesto burger, the barbeque chicken burger and the Mexican ham burger among the non-veggies. The veggies prefer paneer burger hariyali, labanese vegetable burger and veg supreme burger.

Chef Benny lists the ingredients breathlessly — lettuce, tomato, cheese, lamb, Greek bread, vegetable salad — he goes on from one menu item to another — paneer and mint leaves and coriander, it is all there.

The ingredients may seem no different from a regular menu but the burger fest manages to present some unique style of burgers.

The fest is on till May 22 from 11 am to 1 am in the night at Avenue Regent. It is also on at Avenue Centre from 11am to 11 pm.
