Taste the Difference: Seasonal Variety & Chef-Custom Creations

by | Sep 23, 2025 | Sous Vide

At Burnett Fine Foods, we believe each season offers something special—and that your menu should capture that freshness, flavor, and flair. With our broad offerings in club stores & retail and food service, plus chef-customization to match your needs, you get menus that are timely, tantalizing, and tailored.

Tastes of the Season (from Our Catalog)

While “seasonality” often brings to mind specific herbs, fruits, or vegetables, at Burnett we define seasonal by what we offer now as our current best-selling items so you can lean into what’s available, fresh, and delicious.

Here are some of the featured items:

These offerings give you a wide palette: proteins across chicken, beef, pork, and lamb; a mix of comforting sides; vegetables with bold, seasonal flavors; plus deli-style options for sandwiches, soups, or build-your-own meals.

Chef-Customized Dishes: Where Your Vision Meets Our Expertise

What makes Burnett extra special is how we take those core ingredients and creations — and adapt them for you. Our culinary team works closely with you to ensure the food not only tastes great, but fits what you want, whether that’s for flavor, dietary restrictions, volume, style, or presentation.

  • Custom Menu Design: If you want a meal that’s gluten-free, or want to incorporate more plant-based sides in your menu, our chefs can adjust.

  • Scaling Up or Down: Whether you need a few dozen meals for a catered event, or thousands of servings for food service clients, we maintain consistency in taste, texture, and visual appeal.

  • Diverse Dietary Options: We offer certified organic, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free items. Need something special? We’ll build it.

  • Flavor & Style Adaptability: Love smoky, spicy, savory, herbacious, or international influences? From Gochujang Chicken to Pomegranate-Fig sauces, there’s room for variety.

Why It Matters — Flavor, Freshness, and Timeliness

When you build your menu around real, quality items (like those listed above), you benefit in multiple ways:

  • Peak Freshness & Flavor: Items currently offered are produced regularly and designed to taste their best using our sous-vide method of cooking.

  • Reliability: So you can plan menus knowing products are available and built to spec.

  • Relevance & Appeal: Diners recognize names like “Pot Roast,” “Porchetta,” “Butternut Squash,” “Loaded Mashed Potatoes” which feel comforting, current, and craveable.

  • Customization with Scale: You’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all meal; you can adjust for your audience, dietary needs, or aesthetic.
