At Village Burger Waimea, we believe every burger should be a reflection of you: Your cravings, your creativity, your favorite flavors. And when it comes to add-ons, two bold cheeses always spark delicious debate: Gorgonzola and Chipotle Goat Cheese.
So, which one wins the flavor crown? Let’s break it down:
Gorgonzola: The Bold Classic
Flavor Profile: Sharp, salty, creamy with a blue cheese tang
Best With:
-
Big Island Beef Burger – The richness of the beef balances beautifully with the bold bite of Gorgonzola.
-
Caramelized Onions – A must. The sweetness cuts through the funk and makes the flavor pop.
-
Garlic Aioli or Red Miso Dip – Adds a savory layer to amplify the depth.
Why We Love It: Gorgonzola is for the burger purist who isn’t afraid of flavor. It’s indulgent, intense, and memorable.
Chipotle Goat Cheese: The Smoky Rebel
Flavor Profile: Creamy, tangy, with a slow-building chipotle spice
Best With:
-
Lamb or Wagyu Burger – The subtle gaminess or buttery fat pairs beautifully with the tangy-spice contrast.
-
Avocado or Jalapeños – For a smoky-smooth-spicy combo.
-
Sundried Tomato Caper Dip – A Mediterranean twist that highlights the cheese’s earthiness.
Why We Love It: Chipotle Goat Cheese is adventurous. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add a little heat and a whole lot of character to their burger.
