The Enduring Popularity of Burgers & Fries

Ever since German immigrants introduced the hamburger to the Americans in the late 1800s, this beloved recipe has now become synonymous with a delicious pairing of salty appetisers and washed down with a fizzy drink. Burgers and fries have never gone out of fashion, which is one of the reasons Hugo Chetcuti decided to open a burger bar of his own in Malta. Here are a few reasons why this yummy and satisfying food has lasted through the ages.

It’s a tried and tested comfort food

Sometimes what we know and we what we love is just what we need to boost ourselves during a particularly stressful or challenging day. Burgers are often convenient and served quickly because of the relative simplicity of the recipe, and the speed in which they’re delivered doesn’t counter the quality in taste.

There also are so many different recipes constantly being invented that it’s a great way to try something new in the form of your favourite meal; Hugo Chetcuti’s burger chefs have put their heads together to create some absolutely irresistible and unique patties to go along with the choice of classics.

We bond over it

How many times have you all decided as a group to head over the next burger bar after watching a movie or a busy day out? Many burger joints are designed to be laid-back, making them the perfect place to unwind.

The texture is just oh-so-good

There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into a warm and juicy burger covered in lashings of sauce and surrounded by thick melted cheese. And who could resist the crispiness of that very first French fry? And let’s not leave aside the crunchiness of veggies like fresh lettuce and onions. Hashtag YUM!

The sides are irresistible

No burger is an island; delicious sides like prawn twisters or chicken nuggets make for the perfect friends. Those whose generosity matches the large size of their appetites will also want to share the love and make sure everyone has a taste of what’s on the table.

If you’re with the gang and have some empty stomachs to fill, step over to Hugo’s Burger Bar – one of the most popular establishments owned by Hugo Chetcuti in St. Julian’s. All the burgers are handmade from 100% prime Angus beef, served alongside some truly delectable sides and covered in the sauciest of toppings.
