A restaurant based in Glasgow is set to team up with renowned chef, James Cochran, for an exciting event with locals urged to get along.

This month, the award-winning burger joint, El Perro Negro, will be representing Scotland and taking part in an exclusive takeover series.

Cochran is best known for his triumph on the BBC’s Great British Menu as well as his London-based restaurant, 12:51, which draws on his mixed heritage to create some of the city’s most innovative cooking.

His latest venture is a delicious collaboration with independent condiment brand, Sauce Shop. The resulting creation is the sweet and spicy ‘Sauce Shop x 12:51 Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam’, which has just launched in stores nationwide.

And in a bid to celebrate this, Cochran and Sauce Shop are touring the UK as part of a ‘Guest Chef’ series with stops along the way set to include Bristol, Manchester and, of course, saving the best for last – Glasgow, where the grand finale is set to take place.

The event is set to take place on 19th November (Saturday), where the chef will be stepping through the kitchen doors of El Perro Negro, located in the west end of the city, and serving up a one-off limited edition chicken burger – The Royale.

With tender buttermilk fried chicken, chicken gravy mayonnaise, crispy chicken skin, chicken gravy, Sauce Shop x 12:51 Scotch Bonnet Jam, pickles and crispy onion rings, this is something that burger fans will not want to miss!

Speaking of the upcoming event, James Cochran said: “My dad is from Glasgow and grew up in Govan, so it’s always great to come back to the city he calls home!”

“Sharing my Scotch Bonnet Jam has been a dream of mine for such a long time. It’s played a major part in my food journey, ever since I was a little kid learning about Caribbean cuisine with my mum. It’s been on every menu I’ve ever done, and I can’t wait for Glasgow burger fans to try it too!”
