Have You Ever Had Blueberry on Your Burger Before?
Hunger Station just put blueberry jam on a burger—because why not let dinner and dessert collide in one deeply confusing bite.
Egyptians have been through a lot: the Pharos, the French, the British, and now—blueberry jam on a burger. Hunger Station, Cairo’s unapologetically over-the-top burger chain, has decided that meat and cheese weren’t quite enough, so they’ve crowned their latest creation with something you’d normally see at brunch with your aunt in Zamalek. The result? A burger that tastes like someone accidentally dropped their konafa plate into a barbecue pit, panicked, and said, “wait—this might actually slap.”
To be fair, Egypt has never played by the international burger rulebook. We’ve put basterma in there. We’ve put tahini in there. Someone’s cousin once tried molokhia (he’s fine now). So why not blueberry jam? It’s sweet, it’s savory, it’s confusing in that “am I at a diner or a dessert shop?” kind of way. Isn't that the point.
