IT’S a bit of luxury in a burger, but without the luxury price tag – and that’s the Honest Burgers truth.
The burger specialists with a branch in Reading’s town centre has announced its special for November: a limited-edition truffle burger, its first such item.
Created in collaboration with truffle condiment connoisseurs, the Truffle Guys, it uses clever ways to make luxurious flavours available at an affordable price, all year round.
The burger comprises a beef patty with a rich white truffle mayo and truffled shoestring fries, made with premium truffles foraged in Italy.
The flavours are teamed with taleggio cheese, smoked streaky bacon, peppery rocket and pickles.
Honest Burgers says that by partnering with the Truffle Guys, it has crafted a rich truffle-based burger, using the famously expensive ingredient, but without increasing their monthly burger special price, which is £14, including chips.
Adam Layton, Honest Burgers’ head of collaboration, said: “Truffle is a big, bold flavour that we’ve seen do well in a couple of our local specials. It’s high time we dropped a rich and decadent truffle special, and the Truffle Guys are the lads to bring it to life.
“Co-founders Rikki and Jordan manage to deliver so much ‘truffly’ bang for buck, with their White Truffle Oil and Signature Truffle Dust, that we can really pack a punch without charging a premium.
“It’s genius stuff.”
And Rikki Constantinou and Jordan Jon, Co-Founders of Truffle Guys, said: “It’s our mission to make truffle something that everyone can enjoy, so we’re super excited to be collaborating with the team at Honest Burgers, to create this match made in burger heaven.
“We can’t wait for people to tuck in and give it a try.”
The item is only available until Monday, November 28.
