A big juicy burger with a quirky twist at a Nottingham restaurant has made it into the finals of a national competition. The Rump Rub from BOHNS Best Burgers is one of 16 of the finest in the country in the revered National Burger Awards.
It's a spicy, fruity jam that makes the burger stand out from the crowd. It might sound odd but it really works, said founder Thomas Bohn, who opened his restaurant in Broad Street, Hockley, in 2018. He will compete in a live cook-off at Islington Metal Works in London, in the hope that his signature burger creation will be crowned the best in the UK.
He said: "The Rump Rub is, without doubt, a customer favourite and has been since opening the restaurant. It delivers a combination of spice flavours from our very own rump rub mayonnaise with an additional subtle sweetness and spice kick from our jalapeno and raspberry jam. Generally, the initial first reaction from customers is “how does jam work on a beef burger?' until they taste it. People are amazed how well it works and are never left disappointed.
