BurgerFi, is launching a new two-patty burger called the Yes Chef Burger.
The Yes, Chef Burger will be available starting now for a limited time, although they don’t specify how limited of a time it really is…
The robust burger has an interesting backstory as it was inspired by a scene in the movie The Menu starring Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, John Leguizamo, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Janet McTeer.
It’s a thriller about a young couple dining at a high-end restaurant on a remote island…and of course, hijinks ensue. There must be one tantalizing burger in the movie that inspired BurgerFi, for them to go out of their way and make one modeled after it.
And apparently, The “Yes, Chef” catchphrase has been trending on TikTok, and BurgerFi is capitalizing on the buzz. The name being a playful wink to the film’s theme of culinary obsession and the power dynamic between chefs and diners, which of course, is the perfect basis for a new fast food creation.
Carl Bachmann, CEO of BurgerFi International said in a statement:
“We’re embracing one of the most beloved catchphrases of recent pop culture trends, particularly on TikTok, and aligning our approach with the demands of our guests. Our team is starting the New Year saying yes to flavor and yes to our guests.”
Yes, Chef Burger
The Yes, Chef Burger has all the heavy-hitting burger components: two all-natural, hand-smashed Angus Beef patties, American cheese, and chopped onions on a big fluffy, toasted bun.
The listed price for one of the burgers is at $9.99.
BurgerFi is a chain that’s perfected the quintessential burger, the BBQ Rodeo Burger to be specific. It was voted the best fast food burger in 2023 according to the results of a poll taken by readers of USA Today.
The Top 10 included:
- BBQ Rodeo Burger – Burger Fi
- Papa Burger – A&W
- Cheeseburger – Five Guys
- Double Meat Whataburger – Whataburger
- ButterBurger Cheese, Double – Culver’s
- Double Double – In-N-Out Burger
- Whopper – Burger King
- Western Bacon Cheeseburger – Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s
- SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger – Sonic Drive-In
- Son of Baconator – Wendy’s
BurgerFi is doing something right with all the fanfare and perhaps the Yes Chef Burger will knock it out of the park, winning next year’s best fast food burger poll.
