A family that cooks together stays together. That's the maxim that the Lulla household in Khar is following with their new venture, The Weekend Burger Co. Siblings Sahil and Nikhil have started it along with Kresha, Sahil's wife, and they operate out of their home kitchen with no external help. Kresha tells us that the idea was born during the lockdown. This is a period when home chefs have popped up across Mumbai like mushrooms in the monsoon sprouting on the bark of a fallen tree. The Lullas, too, dipped their finger in the pie, feeding off the expertise that Sahil had gained in a culinary school in Dubai, later spending two years as a chef in the Gulf city.

But, it's a side profession. The three of them have individual jobs that they are also pursuing at present. That's why this initiative has been kept aside for the weekends only. "We take our orders from Monday to Friday, which is also when we source our ingredients, which were difficult to find in the initial days of the lockdown. People are also so health conscious these days that we weren't sure whether they would have fried stuff every day of the week," Kresha says, adding that the menu is changed every month to spice things up.
