McDonald's restaurant chain, in cooperation with well-known chef, food expert and thought leader of Kitchen Mythbusters (VMG), Alf Ivanauskas, created and presented two gourmet hamburgers. These Chef's burgers are created exclusively for McDonald's gourmet burger line "Maestro" - according to a special recipe by Alf Ivanauskas, using only McDonald's ingredients. From November 21 these hamburgers can be found in all McDonald's restaurants in Lithuania.
"We are celebrating a very important moment for our restaurants and their guests in Lithuania - for the first time, McDonald's presents gourmet hamburgers created in cooperation with a local chef. We chose Alf Ivanauskas as a unique food expert in Lithuania who promotes a contemporary, modern approach to food. Most importantly, we are united by the same values: attention to food quality, choosing only the highest quality ingredients, careful preparation and the desire to find new flavors. We also highly appreciate Alf's sense of aesthetics and are proud of the result of our joint work - two burgers from the Maestro line that are pleasing to both the taste buds and the eye," says Vladimir Janevski, CEO of McDonald's for the Baltic States.
Chef's burgers - with beef and chicken - created by Alfs Ivanauskas for the "Maestro" line of gourmet hamburgers at McDonald's. Both of their recipes use the ingredients used in McDonald's restaurants: the highest quality beef and chicken, vegetables, salads and a variety of sauces. Creating recipes, combining ingredients and tastings took several months. "I am happy to cooperate with the global brand McDonald's." First of all, because it is always a fun challenge to work together with leaders in our fields - the quality requirements on both sides are the highest. And the final result is maximal and allows both sides to take another step forward. We've teamed up with McDonald's to create two burgers with a unique taste. They are based on the highest quality meat and only fresh vegetables, and the flavor accents are made by sauces. I believe that they will be appreciated by all gourmets who are not indifferent to the classics, but are constantly looking for new interpretations of tastes", says Alfas Ivanauskas, the idea leader of the globally appreciated brand VMG.
Chef's beef burger recipe: bun seasoned with two types of sesame seeds, barbecue sauce, melted Cheddar and Emmental cheese, fresh tomatoes and red onions - all this creates a unique bouquet of flavors, complemented by juicy beef. Chef's Chicken Burger Recipe: A sesame seed bun, crispy pork belly strips, everyone's favorite Emmental cheese, tomatoes, relish, red onions, melt-in-your-mouth chicken and a touch of classic Big Mac® sauce, a combination worth trying.
Maestro hamburgers created by Alf Ivanauskas can be purchased at Lithuanian McDonald's restaurants from November 21 until 2019. spring
