Fusion food has been in and out of popularity since Wolfgang Puck first started enthusiastically combining smoked salmon, caviar and crème fraîche on pizzas. While sometimes it’s been wholeheartedly embraced and sometimes (like the dark days of the 90s) it has not, innovative foodies have always known the utter deliciousness that could be found in modern-day mash ups. 

The Burger Emperor’s Lobster Croquette Burger is just such a mash up.

Introduced by the gifted food-loving team at Burger Emperor, with a dose of innovation from the Kitchen Daddy custom food manufacturing geniuses, the Lobster Croquette is a smashing mash up success. 

It combines the deliciousness of Asian burger flavours with the sweet, briny notes of indulgent lobster. Think – the yielding softness of a creamy lobster and prawn croquette, the crunchy snap of zesty white cabbage, a pop of citrussy yuzu and the sweet hit of Japanese mayo, nestled in between soft milk buns – food perfection.

You can see why it’s the most popular item on the Burger Emperor menu.

Creating bespoke products with custom food manufacturing

Any fusion product requires one important ingredient – an idea. Whether it’s the Cronut™,  Korean tacos or our own Lobster Croquette, it’s the reimagining of traditional tastes and flavours that creates something utterly new and stunningly evocative. And it’s what keeps customers coming back for more.

When the Burger Emperor team approached Kitchen Daddy about this new product, the entire team was keen to jump on the challenge. The Lobster Croquette – or the lobster burger in other words – was an indulgent revisioning of what a traditional burger was all about. Adding in the Asian influence was the salty tamari on top of an already moreish idea, and the KD team set to work sourcing premium and unique ingredients to further elevate those unique flavours.

Custom food manufacturing is an expert’s industry. Burger Emperor brought their expertise in taste and clientele (they knew their customers would love it). And Kitchen Daddy brought theirs in the form of skilful sourcing, precision processing and efficient distribution channels. While the Kitchen Daddy / Burger Emperor team was a new partnership, with results like this beautiful, bespoke Lobster Croquette, one with a mouth-watering future.
