About
The burger that wins the contest. Skip names it on screen as a pomegranate and green chili chutney burger made with his grandmother's spice blend, lets saffron slip by accident, and then threatens to kill anyone who repeats it. The rest of the blend here is reconstruction, based on where that particular combination comes from.
The chutney needs to reduce until it drags behind the spoon and then cool completely, and both halves of that matter. Warm chutney soaks straight through the bun before the burger reaches the table. Saffron goes in twice, half into the reduction and half into the mayonnaise, which is what carries it through to the first bite.
