Indulge In The Innovative Burger Trends You’ve Never Heard Of
Burgers have been a staple part of the fast food industry for decades. This simple dish meant to be a quick bite has seen enormous innovation and popularity in recent years. Everyone from the fast food giants to gourmet chefs has had their fair share of adding a twist to this humble dish. Now, it’s your time to add your own twist to it.
In this blog, we will discuss seven innovative burger trends that you should definitely add to your menu. We have chosen a variety of burger trends after considering different types of food ventures, cuisines, and customer palates. We will also mention how Food Service India (FSIPL) is helping businesses capitalise on these trends.
1. Deconstructed Burger
One may not assume it’s a burger at first glance. A deconstructed burger takes all the ingredients of a traditional burger and serves them separately in a bowl rather than between the buns. The concept behind this is to change the aesthetics and method of eating while preserving its flavours.
Three-star Michelin chef Ferran Adria is often credited with creating the concept. The dish fits perfectly with the gourmet-style menus of high-end restaurants and cafes. There is a demand for such food concepts amongst the urban population with disposable income. Adding this gastronomical innovation to your menu is a no-brainer if your food business targets such audiences.
2. Indian Twist
Traditionally, burgers were made according to Western flavour palates. However, this may not be the most interesting thing for Indian taste buds. As a result, the Indian twist burgers were born. The humble cheese and patty burgers transformed into options like tandoori paneer and butter chicken burgers.
Sunbay by FSIPL offers several Indian gravy mixes that help commercial kitchens deliver authentic tastes and reduce prep time. Our gravy mixes help chefs create innovative and authentic dishes without creating everything from scratch. If burgers are the focal point of your establishment, offering Indian twist burgers is the perfect way to increase sales.
3. Chipotle Burgers
Chipotle is a type of chili used to spice up Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. Chipotle burgers bring a unique hint of Mexican spiciness to the Indian customers. This spicy addition is a favourite among Gen Z customers. Chefs can add this spicy seasoning to their burgers along with other ingredients like chicken or paneer for a combination of flavours.
Chef’s Art chipotle seasoning is designed to add authentic Mexican flavours to your cooking. With the rising popularity of Mexican cuisines in India, we have created the perfect blend of Mexican spices. This not only saves the chef’s time but also reduces kitchen waste.
4. Cheesy Pull-Up Burger
The cheesy pull-up burger, also known as the cheese pull burger, is one of the most Instagrammable things out there and one of the top burger trends in 2024. With the rise of social media, serving food that looks good on camera has gained a lot more importance. The cheese oozing out of the burger as soon as it is cut is one of the most mouth-watering visuals.
A cheesy pull-up burger is often made up of liquid cheese for the best look; however, it can be made with a variety of cheeses. Additionally, your business gets free publicity as more and more people share your business name and location on their social media.
5. Gourmet Style Burger
The gourmet style burger has changed the way a burger is made. Gourmet burgers are often made with higher-quality meats and bread and cooked with exotic flavours. Most customers agree that having a premium bun is essential for enhancing the burger’s aesthetics. While having exotic marinades and seasonings improves the taste and texture of the burger which plays a vital role in customer satisfaction.
Our team of culinary experts recommend using Chef’s Art tempura batter mix or crispy cajun breading mix for maximising texture and crunchiness. You can use these mixes to create crispy patties with a variety of meats and deliver top-quality flavours.

6. Healthy Burgers
Health-conscious consumers often hesitate to order a burger filled with greasy meats and oozing cheese. Hence, offering a healthy burger that priorities nutrition as much as taste is necessary for maximising sales. Lean meat patties, wholewheat buns, and a selection of vegetables are the necessary part of a healthy burger.
A healthier burger menu allows your patrons to enjoy their tasty meal without feeling guilty about it. The demand for healthier alternatives like the Quinoa and Black Bean Burgers has also increased in recent years in India due to the improvements in healthcare education.
7. Vegetarian/Vegan Patty Burgers
On a similar note, we have plant-based burgers. Vegetarian and vegan burgers have always been popular in India due to the large vegetarian population. However, this trend has been a boost in recent years due to the environmental and animal rights movements.
While serving a plant-based burger, you can either go the traditional route by offering burgers like aloo tikki and paneer patty or focus on serving meat substitutes. Faux meat brands offer nutrition-dense plant-based patties that have an identical taste and texture to meat patties. This not only promotes sustainability but also makes your menu look diverse and inclusive.
