On April 12 in Paris, the French Burger Cup will take place. The Agenais Nicolas Leroux, hopes this time, to win the title during his third participation.
After having failed at the foot of the podium during the 2022 edition of the French Burger Cup, the Agenais Nicolas Leroux is trying his luck again, on April 12 at the Sandwich & Snack Show, in Paris where he will defend the colors of Jules & John. During this final, the competitors will have 25 minutes to prepare the different burgers, then prepare the presentation and cut them before they are judged by the members of the jury. This year’s theme: Rock’n Burger.
This is where the “Psychedelic Rock Burger” was born, the brand new recipe from Lot-et-Garonnais, with which he hopes to win the €2,500 reward but above all the title of best burger.
New ingredients for a unique burger
His creativity was awakened once again. By skillfully playing with textures and flavors, Nicolas Leroux has prepared his new burger with surprising ingredients.
The theme, the presentation, nothing was left to chance. Who says rock’n’roll says Rocamadour, the pun holds water, since the creation qualified for the finals of the South-West. To innovate, the smoked taste of the bacon is replaced by thin slices of eel, a bold choice, to create a surprise.

With a smashed steak, an American technique for a more crispy and pronounced taste, accompanied by an onion sauce and granny apple, the different mixtures could surprise the taste buds of the judges. In a bread like New York Roll, brioche with vegetable charcoal butter, the aim is to recall the vinyl side of rock’n’roll.
“Standing out is mandatory, you have to break the codes of classic burgers because the participants always have a higher level at each edition”, recalls the professional. A challenge that requires a lot of speed and for which quality must be there.” Stress management and self-control are elements that should not be overlooked”, underlines the specialist.
With an interview during the preparation of the dish, the extremely precise calibration of his every move and an unfailing concentration will be required to hope to achieve the feat. He will face 24 other competitors from all over France who will compete for the coveted title of “best French burger of 2023”. What if he was from Agenais?
