Chef Rohini Atwaroe of Ter Marsch & Co claimed victory in the Tastiest Hamburger 2020 competition at the Horecava trade fair. Her creation, 'The Gojira,' earned unanimous top honors at Amsterdam RAI. This innovative Korean-inspired burger features an Asian steambun cradling a patty of dry-aged ribeye and premium Japanese Wagyu beef. It's layered with sweet-and-sour mini cucumbers and bok choy, bulgogi pulled pork, roasted pork belly, red onion, yuzu manuka honey, gochujang sauce, and nori cassava chips. The pulled pork simmers in a bulgogi marinade—a richly sweet sauce—infused with Yuzu Iki Beer for a perfect sour-bitter balance. Gochujang, a fermented soybean paste, delivers deep umami through its natural fermentation process.
The jury praised the flawless presentation, meticulously crafted down to the finest details, alongside its originality, impeccable structure, and harmonious blend of distinct, complementary flavors.
Now, savor the award-winning 'The Gojira' at Ter Marsch & Co locations in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. It's served duo-style in an authentic Asian steamer basket for an elevated experience.
