BREAKING DOWN THE BUILDBOARD CHART:

Every so often we like to break down the BuildBoard Chart so that 4foodies can get a feel 4food trends, and values.  This week’s chart has the mighty two patties - Beef and Turkey - a hoof apart with 30.8% and 29.8% chart shares respectively, followed by Veggie with 21.2%, Lamb with 11.5%, and Salmon with 6.7%. When it comes to buns, Multigrain dominates, sandwiching 54.8% of BuildBoard Chart sales, trailed by Brioche with 30.8%, and Pressed Rice - the rims of choice for a surprising 14.4% of the Top 10’s sales. Spinach & Garlic is the scoop of choice, stuffing an astonishing 41.3% of charted burgers’ patty holes. Who could have predicted that Manchego would be our best-selling cheese responsible with a 34.5% share? The average price of a charted (W)holeburger is $7.05, with a low of $6.50, a high of $9.50, and a median price of $7.00.
