Times Square turns International Burger Day into month-long celebration
To celebrate International Burger Day, Times Square has transformed the day into a month-long celebration with two of its local restaurants offering mouth-watering burgers. The day is celebrated globally on May 28 every year and marks a celebration of the iconic and versatile burger. It is dedicated to honouring the delicious combination of a juicy patty, fresh toppings, and a soft bun that has become a culinary staple around the world. Sous chef Kgomotso Comfort Modise explained the meaning behind the day. 'We have realised that people love fast food, they want it fresh, tasty and well done; that is what keeps them coming for more.' Both restaurants marked the day with exclusive burger specials, offering the Appetite burger and Wagyu burger. Burger enthusiast Gugu Hadebe acknowledged the celebration. 'It is a great concept, especially for burger lovers like me. My favourite burger is the baconater because I'm a lover of bacon. I'm a burger fan in general, and it's mostly my first opinion meal,' she said. She emphasised that Burger Day must remain an annual celebration. 'It is a great concept for burger lovers and it's something to look forward to every year,' said Hadebe. Another burger enthusiast, Lesego Mojela, echoed the same sentiments. 'As a burger lover, I hope events like this can be hosted more often. As much as it is international, it must be made more relevant for people to indulge in different burgers.'

International Burger Day: Spice up your burger game with these three Indian street food classics to try
Burgers are the ultimate comfort food worldwide, but in India, the simple joy of some stuffing nestled between bread transforms into a deeply local experience. This International Burger Day, let's dive into three iconic Indian burgers that outshine the classic American hamburger with their quintessential regional charm. If you've never tried Poe, you're missing out on a bread lover's delight. This Goan speciality is soft, slightly chewy, and has a hint of fermented sourdough flavour. Its slight give makes it perfect for any filling, turning it into a decadent burger. Let's talk about the Chorizo Poe, recipe by Hilda's Touch of Spice. 8 to 10 Goan bead sausages, 4 medium onions, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 2 tbsp Goan vinegar, a few tbsp water, salt to taste Remove the chorizo meat from the casing. Slice onions and sauté in hot oil until translucent. Add chorizo and soften until it releases oil. Add water as needed to prevent sticking and further soften the mixture. Stir in vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Fill your Poe bread with this savoury mixture and add cold coleslaw or cucumber and tomato slices for the perfect Goan burger experience. Mumbaikars take their vada pav seriously — this humble 'burger' packs powerful flavours without the fuss of mayo or fancy meats. A potato cutlet sandwiched in soft pav, it's arguably one of the best street food pairings in the world. This recipe is courtesy of Dassana Veg Recipes. 350 grams potatoes or 2 medium to large potatoes, 6 to 7 small garlic cloves, 1 to 2 green chillies, ½ tsp mustard seeds, pinch of asafoetida, ⅛ tsp turmeric powder, 7 to 8 curry leaves, 1 to 2 tbsp chopped coriander, salt as needed 1 cup chopped coriander, 1 to 2 garlic cloves, 2 to 3 drops lemon juice, 2 to 3 green chillies, salt as needed ½ cup seedless tamarind, 1.75 cups water, ½ tsp cumin seeds, ½ tsp ginger powder, pinch of asafoetida, ¼ tsp red chilli powder, 7 to 8 tbsp jaggery powder, 1 tsp oil, salt or black salt as required Oil for deep frying, 2 tbsp dry red chutney (optional), 8 pav, 3 to 4 fried green chillies with salt (optional) Prepare green chutney by grinding all ingredients with minimal water. For tamarind chutney, soak tamarind, strain pulp, cook with spices and jaggery until thickened, then cool. Boil and mash potatoes. Temper mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida in oil; add garlic-chilli paste and turmeric, then mix into potatoes with coriander and salt. Form into balls, coat with a batter made from besan, turmeric, asafoetida, salt, baking soda (optional), and water; deep fry until golden. Assemble vada pav by spreading chutney on pav, adding fried vada, and serving immediately to avoid sogginess. Serve with fried green chillies and tea for the authentic Mumbai experience. While similar to vada pav with its potato base and chutneys, Dabeli shines with its distinct Gujarati spice mix that adds warmth and punch. 1 tsp coriander seeds, ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp fennel, ½ tsp pepper, ½ inch cinnamon, 1 black cardamom pod, 6 cloves, 1 star anise, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 2 tbsp dry coconut, 3 dried red chillies, ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp aamchur, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt 2 tbsp tamarind chutney, ¼ cup water, 2 tbsp oil, 3 boiled and mashed potatoes, ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp grated coconut, 1 tbsp chopped coriander, 2 tbsp sev, 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds, 2 tbsp spiced peanuts 5 pav, 5 tsp green chutney, 5 tsp tamarind chutney, 5 tsp finely chopped onion, butter for toasting Dry roast the masala spices until fragrant, cool, and grind with turmeric, aamchur, sugar, and salt into a fine powder. Heat oil, mix masala powder with tamarind chutney and water, and cook till fragrant. Add potatoes and salt, mash well, then garnish with coconut, coriander, sev, pomegranate, and spiced peanuts. Spread green and tamarind chutneys inside pav, stuff with the aloo mixture and onion, toast in butter until golden, then roll in sev and serve immediately. This International Burger Day, celebrate by indulging in these Indian variations that bring rich regional flavours and textures to a simple sandwich; sometimes, the best bites come from local streets, not fancy menus.
