Gansl im Bun: Viennese Chain Le Burger Presents New Autumn Special

With the "Don Ganso," the Vienna burger chain Le Burger brings an unusual culinary reinterpretation to the table: The autumn special burger combines classic ingredients of a Martinmas goose meal in a handmade bun – from the goose to the red cabbage.

The tenderly braised pulled goose meat forms the basis of the seasonal creation. It is complemented by mustard mayonnaise, marinated red onions, iceberg lettuce, Granny Smith apples, as well as spicy red cabbage and fried onions. The "Don Ganso" will be available in all Le Burger branches from November 1st and costs 15.90 euros.

Developing Traditional Dishes

According to the company, the idea of creatively rethinking traditional dishes is a central element of the brand philosophy. The Martinmas goose is far more than just a festive dish in Austria – it stands for communal enjoyment and a lived food culture.

The recipe comes from Lukas Teschmit, Chief Process Officer at Le Burger. He aimed to bring the essence of the classic goose menu into a new format. According to Teschmit, pulled goose is particularly well-suited for this – both in terms of texture and taste.

Goose Feast and Its Origins

The origins of the Martinmas goose date back to the Middle Ages. The dish was first documented in 1171 when Othelrich of Swalenberg gifted a goose to an abbey for the feast of Saint Martin. Historically, November 11th was also significant as a peasant rent day, before the Advent season traditionally began on November 12th.

Le Burger also relied on participation for the name choice: Through an online vote, the community chose the name "Don Ganso" – a decision that, according to the company, was met with great approval.
