THE MIGHTY 3 SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THE PACK (AND TWEET ME YOUR WEINER)!

In the week before the GoldBurger Certification Awards, the 3 user-builds to be certified as GoldBurgers took charge, led by newmanra’s MultiGrain-Turkey-Spinach & Pine Nut-Avocado-Manchego-Onion-Hummus-Sweet Chili Cali4nication, which finished the week one sale in front of the mysterious, reclusive aharris’ best-selling CaliBurger [Note to 4foodies: Find aharris and we’ll reward you with one week’s worth of this signature build]. These two Golden State GoldlBurgers combined made up an unprecedented 45% of the sales of the chart. At #3, Rodgersmg’s MGR Lamb swaps places with his nemesis pvanessche’s Lamb of God, which drops to #5. Sandwiched in between the two monster lambs is antyson’s “tribute to his messiness Charlie Sheen” #winning burger which has earned $150 for the American Diabetes Association since inception. Which brings us to antyson’s shamelessly attention-seeking sophomore creation, the Brioche-Breakfast Sausage-Hard Boiled Egg-Sopressata Salami-Manchego-Horseradish Cream Tweet Me Your Weiner, which is bubbling under the chart at #11, and worthy of your Support? Sympathy? Contempt? 

4food CERTIFIES 3 USER-CREATED BURGERS GOLD!

On Wednesday, June 29th, 2011 between 5PM and 7PM 4food will be hosting a GoldBurger Certification Celebration at 4food Madison Avenue.  The event honors 3 user-builds with more than 500 sales since 4food launched in the fall of 2010: the Caliburger, Cali4nication, and MGR Lamb.

As well as the presentation of the 3 GoldBurger Awards, the certification event will feature a “build-off” contest between the 3 GoldBurger inventors to create a follow up hit.  The event will be judged by an expert panel, and the winner will receive their winning build (and a beverage) for free every day for a month. 

All 4foodies in attendance will be entitled to unlimited free dessert! (with the purchase of any (W)holeburger, Skewer, Rice or Salad Bowl)

Michael Shuman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of 4food, said of the Certification Event:

“According to CNN there are 96 billion ways to create a burger at 4food. By our own calculations there are a more modest 141,000,000 ways of differentiating your build. Since we opened last fall our guests have tried 20,000 of them, including burgers celebrating Charlie Sheen, Libyan Democracy, The Bed Intruder, and Facebook. The 3 GoldBurgers are the most successful of the user-builds because their creators have marketed them hard using Facebook, Twitter, 4food’s internal tools, as well as dragging their friends, family, and co-workers to the store to earn 4food cash - in doing so they have helped us spread our De-junking mission. Thank you!”

Newmanra strikes back WITH VENGEANCE

Dunno if it was the newmanra’s broadcast debut on the Canadian Food Network or the social marketing performance of a generation but his Multigrain bun’d - Turkey patty’d - Spinach & Pine Nut scoop’d - Avocado slice’d - Manchego cheese’d - Hummus/Sweet Chili condiment’d - and Onion added-on GoldBurger Cali4nication bounced back from #2 position to rout aharris’ Brioche-Beef-Avocado & Chili Mango-Avocado-Manchego-Lettuce-Tomato-Dijon Mustard GoldBurger the Caliburger.

Incredibly Cali4nication was by itself responsible for 23.23% of sales on this week’s Buildboard chart, selling 50% more than its Golden State nemesis.  Things seem to be getting tougher every week for our third GoldBurger, rodgersmg’s MGR Lamb, which drops another place to #5, under pressure from pvanessche’s leggy Lamb of God.

WE ALSO SERVE RICE AND SALAD BOWLS

We also serve rice and salad bowls:

The testing period is over - period. We now officially serve Rice and Salad bowls: (W)holemeals starting at $7 with a skewer or patty, scoop, slice, cheese, and up to 3 condiments. Should your super-bowl require a premium protein, scoop, slice, or cheese (or need a second scoop or slice for perfection) - expect to pay for the more you get!

To build a rice-bowl: choose Coconut or Multigrain rice; skewer or patty (all proteins); scoop; slice; cheese; up to 3 condiments; and add lettuce, tomato, onion, or pickle.

To build a salad-bowl: choose Spinach Radicchio Blend, Chopped Romaine, Salad Mix (a combination of all three leafs); skewer or patty (all proteins); scoop; slice; cheese; 4food Champagne Vinaigrette plus up to 2 condiments; and add lettuce, tomato, onion, or pickle.

Of Lamb & God

And so it came to pass that Cali4nication’s 8 week run at the summit of the Buildboard chart has been interrupted by none other than aharris’ Brioche-Beef-Avocado & Chili Mango-Avocado-Manchego- Lettuce-Tomato-Dijon Mustard Platinum hit, the Caliburger, which with 885 sales to date is the best-selling user-created (W)holeburger of all time. Rumor has it that Cali4nication’s creator newmanra is in hiding, licking his wounds. Though analyzing the chart we think it more likely that he’s been wolfing down pvanessche’s gospel-powered Pressed Rice-Lamb-Avocado & Chili Mango-Avocado-Swiss- Lettuce-Horseradish Cream-Sweet Chili Lamb of God, the greatest gainer on the chart at #3.  Lamb of God has already established a number of firsts! First user build on a rice bun to break into the top 5, and the first user build bragging a Lamb patty outsell of Rodgersmg’s MGR Lamb, which drops a rung to #4. Will Lamb of God be the first divine (W)holeburger to make #1?  You decide?
