Every year, Woodside Inn hosts the Beer and Burger festival at both its outlets at Colaba and Andheri. “We create different kinds of burgers to go with the flavour of the beers, which are brewed across the world. I created the Double Cheddar Beef Burger, my favourite, in a way that it contains the best flavours of the US,” says Chef Subhash Shirke.

The combination of Cheddar cheese and beef, he adds, is what makes the burger truly American. Chef Shirke says he likes to pay as much attention to the planning and presentation of the burger as much as the ingredients — which are rather easy to source, we notice. “I keep a keen eye on the guests in Mumbai to alter my ingredients accordingly. It is an ongoing process,” says Chef Shirke.
The cooking process can be altered depending on whether you want your dish to be pan-seared or grilled, but Chef Shirke recommends you grill the burger because the smoky flavour tastes wonderful.
