Summary
We’re not kidding. This is the ULTIMATE burger. Especially if you’re a wine lover…
Yes we’ve got the patty and the brioche bun. So far so straightforward. But the killer ingredients? A tawny port reduction (‘wino’s ketchup’). Blue cheese. Umami paste.
And to top it all off? Truffle mustard mayo.
So yes, in this fun episode we attempt to answer that HUGE question: what wine to drink with your burger?!
After much research, thought and drinking of wine, Susie was inspired to create this recipe – the Umami Bomb. A burger designed specifically to appeal to wine lovers.
We then set to work – the first challenge is eating the burger while talking (not straightforward). But of course the point of the exercise is to explain what wines work best with the burger and why – featuring some delicious bottles along the way.
This was a fascinating and fun episode to put together, we hope you enjoy it.
