OUR Meat

All of our meat for the John’s, Empire, and Kids burgers at John’s Burgers and the Single, Double and Kids burgers at John’s Burger Box and John’s Food Trucks is made from fresh beef and pork, cut and ground daily in house at our EU-certified production kitchen. Our burger meat is never frozen ensuring maximum juiciness.

The meat used in our Hüttener Burgers is 100% beef delivered to us by Jakob Gosch of the family Gosch in Holzbunge in the county of Rendsburg-Eckernfoerde. The Hüttener Burger is always sourced from a single cow, which was grass fed and finished on the rolling hills of the BioHof Holzbunge. Our Hüttener Burgers are cut, ground, and prepared fresh daily.

The bacon used as a topping for our burgers and in our BLT and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches is always cured and smoked in house. We receive full pork bellies and cure them in house with curing salts and maple syrup for ten days before smoking for three hours.

OUR PARTNERS

BURGER BUNS

A good burger bun should be soft and strong. It should complement the burger, not overwhelm it. After testing many of the buns in Kiel, we came across the perfect bun, developed by Kai Lyck of the Bäckerei Lyck. Our buns are baked fresh daily in the Kiel neighborhood of Elmschenhagen.

CHEESE

Much of our cheese is a mild white cheddar which comes directly from the Holtseer Landkäserei and is sliced in house.

EGGS

All of the eggs used as a topping for our burger are produced by free range chickens at the Huhnerhof Krey in the village of Bredenbek in the county of Rendsburg-Eckernfoerde.
