Fusion cuisine combines dishes from different culinary backgrounds, resulting in unique hybrid meals such as Southwest eggrolls and tacos filled with astronaut ice cream. Feast on collaborative cooking with today's Groupon: for $4, you get any Asian-inspired burger at Kalbi Burger (up to an $8.45 value).
Kalbi Burger's patty artisans infuse slabs of naturally raised, hormone-free Angus beef with Asian flavors before swaddling each circular comestible in a crispy bun baked exclusively for the restaurant. Korean barbecue kisses the menu's signature Kalbi burger, which heaps American cheese, Korean vinaigrette, and aioli sauce onto short rib freshly ground by repurposed mini golf windmills ($8.45). The JeJu Do burger's spicy pork patty and sautéed kimchi are submerged in a fiery sea of jalapeños, red onions, and lettuce doused in JeJu Do sauce ($6.95). Diners can flap and cluck for the Tokyo chicken burger, its fresh poultry breast blanketed in Tokyo sauce, swiss cheese, and caramelized onions ($6.95). The build your own burger option allows customers to construct a custom meal using a bevy of ingredients and a blueprint of an eight-story bun.
