We used\u2026Tinian chili pepper and other ingredients that are available on the island. It was a big hit for both locals and tourists, that\u2019s why the Chamorro Burger is a regular on our menu here and in Guam,\u201d said Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 executive chef Kotwal Meharwan Singh.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_252969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-252969\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-252969\" src=\"http:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hard-Rock-pix2-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"10 ounces of Angus beef goodness.

(Bea Cabrera)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The corporate office of Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 later decided to follow suit and implemented the idea of concocting local burgers in all branches. The idea inspired the chefs to create their burger based on their location, ingredients, spices, and customers. That gave birth to the World Burger Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, even if you are in just one place, you will be able to taste different countries by just having our burgers,\u201d Singh added.<\/p>\n<p>On Saipan, four burgers are available for sampling. The Korea Kimchi Burger was inspired by Seoul. It is a burger patty topped with kimchi, bulgogi sauce, fresh tomato, and spicy mayo. The English Breakfast Burger was inspired by England. It is topped with breakfast sausage, sliced ham, arugula, Portobello mushroom, fresh tomato, and fresh-cracked egg. The Tennessee BBQ Burger was inspired by Memphis. It is a certified Angus beef patty seasoned with Memphis dry rub and topped with pickle slices, Memphis slaw, pulled pork, tangy barbecue sauce, crispy onions, and cheddar cheese. The Jamaica Jerk Burger, inspired by Montago Bay, is a smooth and spicy fusion of mango cream cheese and jerk mayo, banana peppers, and arugula.<\/p>\n<p>Get these burgers within 15 minutes from ordering and the meat is best paired with fries and sauce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe chose burgers instead of other dishes that you will find in other countries because Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 is known for our burgers. We go for quality instead of quantity. We wanted to create something more with what we are popularly known for,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrate the taste of the world by experiencing the World Burger Tour at Hard Rock Caf\u00e9, which is happening until June 25, 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 branches, which are hosting the World Burger Tour all over the world,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":252968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[16927,11474,16928,16929],"class_list":["post-252967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-chamorro-burger","tag-hard-rock-cafe","tag-kotwal-meharwan-singh","tag-world-burger-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
