The juicy decadence of patties and bread

Most quintessential in American Foods, a hamburger or burger is one the most loved item on every fast food chain or a gourmet restaurant’s menu. The delicious juicy burgers are essentially an American culinary treasure from the U.S locale that is effectively catching up with different parts of the world in delightful flavours and eccentric variations.

More often than not, it is the magic of the wholesome patty that creates a difference to the essence of the burger. A pretty modern affair, the burgers in Delhi are fundamentally and thoroughly made from dry cut beef, sprinkled with copious butter and usually served with fried onions and a brioche bun.

A brioche bun is soft bread rolled in rich butter and eggs and tastes somewhat sweet and is served split.

A good burger- if it is conventional, vegetarian or made by fluke- all have a distinctive taste, with even more distinctive fillings inside. For example- the one by Smoke House Deli restaurant in Hauz Khas, Chunky Devilled Tenderloin Burger and Benedictor; which mark as a classic and simply sets a benchmark for all, is absolutely a win-win amongst students and adults. Who wouldn’t give an up to tenderloin beef, smoked bacon or ham, and oozing package of spicy sauces, melted cheese and sautéed onions? The caramelized patty that is succulent and tender makes these burgers more enjoyable.

As a burger fanatic, it is a perennial obsession to discover nothing but the best around in the city. If you are keen, make one at home for yourself and loved ones. Marinate the tenderloin beef in some soy sauce plus balsamic vinegar to produce a luscious effect. Toss it profusely in olive oil and melt the cheese over it. Put it in the hot oven and your outstanding dish is ready. 

However, in the fast food centres, the burgers will not be served with much grandeur per se, but the level of excellence of burgers including their sides goes up at epicurean restaurants.

So expand your menu and try burgers with various seasonal ingredients and toppings (like mushrooms and hot peppers) and the summer drinks to satiate those taste buds to the highest level of ecstasy.

Reasons Why All Day Breakfast is Popular

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as based on what one has or whether one has even at all, can determine what kind of a day one will have. But perhaps it is the breakfast foods that have gained more popularity than the actual act of having a breakfast, in today’s time. Breakfast foods like eggs benedict, pancakes, waffles, and many others are all time favourites of many, and a western concept of breakfast for dinner is something that greatly appealing. In this concept, one has breakfast items for dinner in place of the traditional dishes that are eaten at dinner.

The popularity of these breakfast foods is something that has resulted in restaurants to contemplate with the idea of an all-day breakfast. Some of the best restaurants in Bangalore are experimenting with this notion of serving breakfast all day, or at least serving a limited amount of dishes. And the public is receptive to these changes as it allows a new category in their menu and allows them to have variety in their meals.

Breakfast is no longer about just toast and butter/jam; instead there is a wide range of items in this section that one can consume. Here are a few reasons, as to why all-day breakfast is becoming so popular:

Be it stay at home mothers, office going people, college students or anyone for that matter, could and probably would skip breakfast some times. In those events, an all- day breakfast allows one the luxury to have breakfast whenever they do find the time to sit and eat something. And being light at the same time, it would not interfere with the regular meal timings.

3.    Sales:
Going to a restaurant for breakfast is a common norm and thus, if a restaurant offers all-day breakfast it would only increase their sales. As this way, more people, who want to have breakfast items at varying times during the day would prefer it over any other place. 

Exotic Cuisines that are Popular in Delhi

There are few moments of dilemma that can almost cause a family or a group of friends to break apart and choosing a restaurant to go to is one of them.

Overcooking can ruin the Tenderloin Steak

When it comes to some of the most expensive and popular meats, then the top winner would surely be the tenderloin steak. A tenderloin steak is mostly served in fine- dining restaurants and is considered to be a classic choice for a main dish. Made from beef’s meat, this type of a steak is carved out from the tenderloin or the part of short loin primal. The tenderloin is perhaps the most soft and tender part in beef meats, hence the name. There are also other steaks available like chateaubriand, filet mignon and more.

Although nothing can really beat the taste of good beef tenderloin, however, owing to the hesitancy towards proper beef, many restaurants instead substitute it with buffalo meat. But certain states like Mumbai and Bangalore do serve authentic beef, so one can find this dish in some of the more elite lounges and bars in Mumbai and Bangalore.

One can even make this dish at home, only due to the pricey nature of the meat; the preparation must not be rushed and carried out in a proper manner. There are several different ways to cook this type of steak, that is, one can either keep it rare, medium rare or quite well done. Though one has to keep this in mind that the more it cooks the more it loses its juiciness and soft quality.

That is why, it is extremely necessary, that one should keep a check on how exactly the tenderloin steak is being cooked. Tenderloin is a lean cut and also the most tender part of any. That is why; overcooking can ruin the dish, since the lack of fats will turn the meat dry and tough. Overcooking must be at all costs avoided, as it can completely alter the taste and texture of the meat.
