4. Global flavors
While the burger is considered all-American fare, global influence is making its way into this menu category, too. According to the Burger report, 42% of consumers aged 18-34 years old say they are interested in eating or trying exotic burgers made with unique meats such as venison, buffalo, alligator or ostrich.
As for what types of ethnic-inspired burgers consumers are most interested in, Italian, Cuban and Asian flavors come out on top, but other emerging cuisines are showing up on burger menus, too. Filipino burgers, for instance, like the one offered at Jeepney in New York, are made with a sirloin beef and longganisa (a Spanish sausage similar to chorizo or linguica)patty, spicy banana ketchup, Maggi aioli, challah bread, archaea pickles and hand cut kamote (sweet potato) fries. And of course, diners can add a fried egg for an additional cost.
