Burger Joint Madness: Six Ways to Mix Up Your Usual Food Delivery Order
Posted by Amelia K. on Monday, October 20th, 2014 with 7 Comments
Let’s face it: hamburgers are one of the most popular lunch (and dinner) foods in America. There’s just something about that delicious combination of red meat, starchy bun and array of condiments that satisfies cravings–to the tune of about 50 billion burgers consumed a year in America. That translates to about three burgers a week per person across the country. That’s a lot of beef.
Eating red meat with some of your meals can certainly be a good thing. While it’s a food that’s best consumed in moderation, there are benefits to including it in your weekly diet. Red meat helps support lean muscle tone because it naturally contains nutrients like creatine, carnosine and active forms of Omega-3 vitamins, which can’t be found in plant-based forms of Omega-3’s. It’s also loaded with protein, which means you won’t feel like you need another lunch at 3 PM.

So if you’re a regular burger eater, but are getting tired of the usual topping choices from your local burger joint, how can you keep this classic meal fresh and exciting? We’ve compiled six delicious burgers to keep on your radar for your next office meal.
Southwest Burger: Sometimes, it just takes a little creative thinking to come up with a burger that gets your taste buds excited. This spicy meal could be just the ticket. Mixed with a combo of traditional southwest spices, the patty has a unique flavor that you’re sure to love. It’s topped with pepper jack cheese, avocado and sour cream, which means you’re mixing two more food groups into your lunchtime order while also balancing out the spiciness of the patty. This burger is definitely crave worthy!
Serrano Pepper Burger: This stacked sandwich will definitely add some heat to your lunch. It’s topped with grilled peppers, which add sweetness to the usually smoky taste of the meat. Topped with mayo, ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato, you might actually be ordering a burger that’s big enough to share with a co-worker!
Onion and Blue Cheese Burger: There’s just something about blue cheese that moves your burger up a notch. Mix in some caramelized onions and a little arugula and you have the makings for your new favorite lunchtime burger.
Mediterranean Burger: If you want to make your burger a little healthier, try this fresh take on the old classic. This burger mixes feta cheese, oregano, rosemary and lemon zest into the meat–creating a flavorful patty that will leave you thinking of a gorgeous oceanfront in the Greek isles. Topped with fresh tomato, onion and cucumber, this burger brings the lighter side out of a usually heavy meal. D you really want to go Mediterranean? Skip the bun–you’ll save about 200 calories!
Cherry and Brie Burger: When you’re looking for a tasteful punch, try this unique burger. Dried cherries are mixed into the patty. Beyond adding powerful antioxidants to your meal, this sweet and salty combo will leave you salivating for more. Topped with melted brie and caramelized onions, this tasty treat is a burger you’ll want to try as soon as possible–like today.
Tex-Mex Turkey Burgers: When you’re craving that burger taste, but want to skip the heavy feeling after lunch, this is the burger for you! Turkey burgers are the lighter option, but don’t worry–while this meal lacks calories, it doesn’t lack taste. It’s topped with a corn and avocado salsa, and served on a crispy corn tortilla shell instead of a bun. It’s a great option for getting the flavor you love (and a dose of protein to keep you full all afternoon) without using up most of your calories for the day.
