Annie’s burger shack launches gourmet burger that’s fit for a king to mark Coronation
Nottingham’s legendary restaurant, Annie’s Burger Shack has released a limited edition gourmet burger to mark the Coronation weekend
The gourmet burger features whipped goat’s cheese mousse, a filled vine tomato basket and topped with a whisky-soaked pomegranate seed shortbread crown will go on sale this Saturday, May 6 to celebrate King Charles’s coronation.
However, it will only be available for a limited time in both the Nottingham and Derby locations this weekend. Diners will be able to make their burger meaty, veggie or vegan depending on their preferences. The King Burger, which is served with a choice of fries and will cost £15.90.
The stacked burger dish has been designed to reflect King Charles’s life and includes a patty, salad and bun accompanied by four specially created ingredients.
The ingredients include Coronation chicken – representing his mother, the Queen – the King’s own newly created Coronation quiche, which features fresh tarragon, broad beans and spinach, a vine tomato basket, which reflects his love of gardening and is filled with goats cheese mousse, and home-baked Scottish shortbread containing Laphroaig whisky-soaked pomegranate seeds and sweet citrus peel garnish and baked in the shape of a crown.
Annie Spaziano, the restaurant owner created the burger along with executive chef Nathan Parker and will go on sale, on a first-come first-served basis, on Saturday afternoon. It follows in the footsteps of Annie’s last royalty-themed burger, which she created for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year.
“Our Jubilee burger was incredibly popular and we couldn’t let a historic occasion such as the first coronation this country has seen for 71 years go by without a burger that is literally fit for a king,” she said.
“We’re really proud of this one because of all the work, cooking skills and research that’s gone into it. Everything has been made from scratch and, although there are a lot of diverse ingredients involved, each one complements the other, so you can eat them in any combination you choose.
“Although I’m from America, I’ve lived in the UK for a long time now and I realise what a significant occasion King Charles’s coronation is. It’s also an opportunity for us to create something that is unique and a bit special, which we hope everyone will enjoy.”
