Picking Mixture
If you love burgers and banh mi, this recipe is for you! Bringing both flavors together in one recipe and cooked on a grill makes for a great pairing of flavors.
A traditional Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is one of Masterbuilt ambassador, Will Rouamvongsor's favorite sandwiches. Being able to use the Gravity Series 600 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker to combine this sandwich (known for its bread) with another favorite handheld… the burger, made for a great fusion inspiration. The smokiness and char on the burger patty added with the traditional toppings of a banh mi (i.e. pickled carrot & daikon (“do chua”), fresh cilantro & jalapeños, banh mi butter spread) made for a perfect pairing. To Will, the sweet soy glaze brought this burger together and is truly a recipe that is United by Flavor!
