To keep the momentum going, venues should look to BBQ season to inspire their food offering this summer. One often overlooked aspect of the classic burger – a BBQ staple – is the bun. The perfect bun can take any burger to the next level, adding flavour and texture that elevates the dining experience. In addition, a superior quality gourmet burger offers venues the perfect upsell for their menus.
