Ingredients

  • ½-Pound Beef Patty: The burger is made with a half-pound of beef, usually a combination of lean and fatty cuts to ensure flavor and juiciness. The patty is seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to enhance the natural flavor of the beef.
  • Burger Bun: A soft, toasted burger bun, often brioche or a similar type of bread, holds the burger together. The bun adds a soft, slightly sweet base to the burger.
  • Lettuce: Fresh lettuce, usually iceberg or romaine, provides a crisp and refreshing crunch.
  • Tomatoes: Slices of fresh tomato offer juiciness and a bit of sweetness, which contrasts nicely with the savory beef.
  • Onions: Typically, red onions are used, adding a bit of sharpness and texture to the burger. Sometimes caramelized onions are offered for a sweeter flavor.
  • Pickles: Crisp pickle slices add a tangy crunch to balance the richness of the beef.
  • Cheese (Optional): The burger may be topped with cheese such as American, cheddar, or Swiss. Adding cheese increases the richness and creaminess of the burger.
  • Sauces: The Half-Pound BFG Burger is often served with sauces like mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, or a special sauce. These sauces add moisture and flavor to the burger.
  • French Fries (Optional Side): Most servings of the burger come with a side of crispy French fries, which are salted and offer a starchy sidekick to the burger.

Allergens

  • Beef: The main protein in the burger is beef, so it’s unsuitable for those who are avoiding beef for dietary, religious, or ethical reasons.
  • Gluten: The burger bun typically contains gluten, making this dish unsuitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease unless a gluten-free bun is requested.
  • Dairy: The burger can contain dairy if cheese is added, as well as in the bun (depending on the recipe) and any creamy sauces or mayonnaise used. This makes the dish unsuitable for those who are lactose intolerant or avoiding dairy.
  • Egg: The burger bun may contain egg, and some sauces may also contain egg-based ingredients (e.g., mayonnaise), so it may not be suitable for individuals with egg allergies.
  • Soy: The sauces, mayonnaise, and even the bun may contain soy, so those with soy allergies should inquire about ingredients before ordering.
  • Mustard: Some sauces may contain mustard, so people with mustard allergies should confirm with the staff.
  • Garlic: Garlic may be used in some of the sauces, seasonings, or bun, so it’s important to ask if you have a sensitivity.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: To reduce the calorie count, you can request that the burger be served without cheese and sauce or ask for the sauce on the side. You could also ask for a lettuce wrap instead of the bun for a gluten-free option, or opt for a side of steamed vegetables or a salad instead of fries.
  • For a richer, indulgent meal: Keep the cheese and sauces on the burger and pair it with a side of crispy fries. You can also add extra toppings like bacon or fried onions for added richness and flavor.
  • Wine Pairing: A Cabernet Sauvignon or a Zinfandel would pair well with the Half-Pound BFG Burger, as these red wines have bold flavors that complement the savory beef. If you prefer a white wine, a Chardonnay would work well with the richness of the beef and cheese.
  • For a gluten-free option: Request a gluten-free bun or ask for the burger to be served in a lettuce wrap. Pair with gluten-free sides such as steamed vegetables or a house salad to complete the meal.
  • For heart-healthy benefits: Ask for grilled chicken instead of beef to reduce the saturated fat content. You can also request a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette and forgo the fries to make the meal lighter and healthier.

The Half-Pound BFG Burger at Bonefish Grill is a hearty and satisfying option for burger lovers, featuring a juicy beef patty with fresh toppings and a choice of sauces. Whether you’re indulging in the full experience with fries or customizing it for a lighter version, this burger can cater to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences.
