Hello! The new Emart24 lunchbox I want to introduce today is the Chef Park Hyo-nam Four-Hamburg Set. It’s a menu collaborating with Chef Park Hyo-nam, a Korean culinary master who appeared as a white-spoon master on Culinary Class Wars Season 2! Living up to his reputation as a first-generation Western-cuisine chef who brought Western food to Korea, this four-hamburg set is a unique, distinctive menu with as many as four hamburg dishes. The variety of hamburg styles was really nice! So shall we take a look at what it’s all about?

Park Hyo-nam Four-Hamburg Set: Price and Features

It’s a new Emart24 lunchbox that launches star-level chef collab menus not just one but several at once — so much so that you wonder how they even arrange them. This time, they collaborated with Chef Park Hyo-nam, a Korean culinary master whom Western-cuisine chefs even call a godfather! To bring some taut tension to the domestic lunchbox market, where usually only cheese hamburg or sauce hamburg came out, they composed it with as many as four hamburg styles. The price is a touch high at 5,900 won! And all of the chef’s proceeds from this menu are said to be donated.

The hamburg steak in this menu is said to use only domestic pork! The total contents come to 435g with 699kcal, and sodium at about 74% of the daily recommended amount. The calories are moderate relative to the contents! It should be filling as a full meal. For a menu packed with hamburg, the fact that the calories are slightly lower than expected is a point, if any!

Park Hyo-nam Four-Hamburg Set: Components

So let’s take a quick look at the composition. As the name suggests, this menu is composed so you can enjoy hamburg steak with four kinds of different sauces! Along with that, there’s a bit of garnish to lightly accompany it, and three side dishes are provided.

We should check the hamburg steak composition in detail first! The hamburgs come as half a piece per menu, adding up to two in total! Looking from the far left, the first is a sriracha-mayo hamburg made up of sriracha mayo sauce and a little button mushroom garnish! The second is a cheese hamburg steak made up of thick cheese sauce and roasted broccoli as garnish.

The third is a hamburg steak accompanied by Napolitan hamburg sauce and mashed potato garnish! The last is an original hamburg steak accompanied by hamburg steak sauce and sautéed onion garnish. Both the sauces and the garnishes make for a pretty distinctive composition, don’t they!?

Along with that, there are side dishes to enjoy as a palate cleanser by picking at bit by bit during the meal — jalapeño pickle, stir-fried kimchi, and corn cheese. The amounts aren’t that much, just right for a bite or two!

For starters, since there are only the four kinds of hamburg steak, the composition itself may not look all that varied. Still, the concept of enjoying various hamburg steaks paired with several sauces all in one lunchbox is quite unique!

The Taste of the Park Hyo-nam Four-Hamburg Set

So we should taste right away what each one is like! The fact that it’s not simply hamburg steak alone but that you can eat the garnishes bit by bit alongside is a pretty nice point too!

First of all, I tried the original hamburg first! The base sauce flavor is, as you’d expect, like a store-bought hamburg steak sauce — a Worcestershire base with a slight touch of teriyaki sauce. Rather than a deep flavor, it had a bit of acidity, the kind that lowers the richness a little!

The second is a tomato-sauce-flavored hamburg steak with a Napolitan sauce base. Just looking at the ingredient list, I thought it might be closer to a pasta sauce flavor! But rather than that, it was a bit richer, moderately savory yet sweet, and paired well with the hamburg steak!

The Cheese and Sriracha-Mayo Hamburgs

The cheese hamburg steak had thick cheese melted well for a harmonious taste! That said, since this one has no separate sauce, some eaters might find it a little heavy! Of course, since the other sauces alongside come in fairly generous amounts, pairing it with the Napolitan sauce or original hamburg sauce seemed like it would be just right.

Lastly, the hamburg steak topped with sriracha mayo sauce! With a slight spiciness added, unlike the other hamburgs, its point was that it firmly cut the rich, oily taste. Come to think of it, I’ve eaten many hamburg steaks over the years, but one topped with sriracha mayo sauce was a complete first! Unfamiliar, but it was a flavor that clung nicely to the palate.

The Chef Park Hyo-nam lunchbox collaboration

The garnishes also paired quite well with the hamburg dishes. Eaten together with the sauces — mushroom, onion, broccoli, mashed potato, and so on — they were really nice! They’re truly just accompaniments, but eating only hamburg could get a bit tiresome, so they were definitely a plus!

Verdict — A Master’s Recommended Hamburg Combo, Highly Recommended

On top of that, the other side dishes also paired quite well with the main! What do you think? Personally, at a reasonable price my stomach got decently full, and above all, since it was a combination menu recommended by a master, I could enjoy the taste with quite a lot of satisfaction too. For a single convenience store lunchbox meal, it was a considerably high-level experience! If you’re curious, it was a menu worth trying once. As a full meal, I highly recommend it.
