Big Pulp Kahuna Burger
The Big Pulp Kahuna Burger is a fictional burger made famous by the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. In one scene, the character Jules, played by Samuel L. Jackson, orders this burger at a fast food restaurant called the Big Kahuna Burger. The burger itself is never seen in the shot, but the way Jules eats it and talks about it has made it an iconic part of pop culture.
Although the Big Pulp Kahuna Burger isn't real, many fans and chefs have created their own versions of it based on what they imagine it might be. Some assume it's a Hawaiian-style burger because "kahuna" is a Hawaiian word, so many recipes include pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and other ingredients associated with Hawaii.
Despite its fictional origins, the Big Pulp Kahuna Burger has had a unique impact on the world of food.

For the burger
2 brioche buns
400 g minced beef
(approx. 100 g each)
2 tsp light miso paste
8 thick slices of bacon
4 slices of cheddar
100 ml ketchup
100 ml mayonnaise
4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
Salt pepper
For the pineapple chutney
2 red onions
1/2 pineapple
2 green chili peppers
3 tbsp cane sugar
50 ml white wine vinegar
Preparation in 6 steps
For the chutney, first peel the pineapple. Then remove the stalk and cut the fruit into fine cubes. Also peel the onion, remove the seeds from the chili and dice both finely. Now bring everything to the boil in a small saucepan with the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and simmer on the lowest setting for 5-10 minutes. Then allow to cool completely.
Prepare the hob by heating it with a pan and a little oil, or set the gas grill with a reversible plate to direct high heat.
Form the ground beef into four equal-sized balls and then use a burger press or a grill spatula to press them into thin burger patties.
Grill or fry the patties for 3-4 minutes. At the same time, grill the bacon on the cast iron plate/pan until crispy. Spread the cheddar over the patties and let the patties melt on the grill or under a burger cover with the lid closed.
The burger sauce is made by mixing mayonnaise and miso paste. Ketchup and teriyaki sauce are also mixed together.
Spread mayonnaise on the bun halves. Place pineapple chutney, patties, bacon and teriyaki ketchup on the burger according to your taste. Cover the burger with the top half of the bun and finally serve.
