Burger & Lobster has collaborated with Crosstown to launch a limited edition sweet and savoury dish that seeks to answer the fabled question of whether doughnuts and burgers can co-exist on the same plate.
The controversial combination sees three prime-cut smashed beef patties, fried red onion, crispy smoked bacon and tangy blue cheese, served in Crosstown’s Tongan Vanilla Bean Glaze doughnut featuring their signature fluffy sourdough base.
Swapping the humble brioche for something a little sweeter, the dough is hand-dipped in a light and creamy Tongan vanilla bean glaze and decorated with a chocolate cross.
The dish will be served with B&L’s signature crispy fries and ranch dressing and will be available to guests at just £20.
Misha Zelman, CEO and Founder at Burger & Lobster Restaurant Group comments: “Partnering with the team at Crosstown was something that we are all excited about. What seems like an odd combination of products makes total sense from a culinary point of view.
“We all love sweet and savoury combinations and this is something that is going to delight everyone with how well these flavours work together. We cannot wait to see the surprise on people’s faces with how good this B&L x CROSSTOWN burger tastes.”
Howard Ebison, CEO at Crosstown shared: “The Tongan Vanilla Bean Glaze doughnut has been on Crosstown’s line-up since the brand’s inception. Being able to reimagine such a staple, creating the perfect sweet and savoury doughnut burger has been such an exciting experience.
“Teaming up with Burger & Lobster felt like a no-brainer. With both brands being London born, each crafting premium products with the very best ingredients, from scratch every day. It’s the perfect match.”
The indulgent new offering will be available in all nine Burger & Lobster locations across the capital from 25th October 2023 for a limited time only and will also be available on Deliveroo from the 1st of November.
