-Thanks to Lorna Maseko, Buns Out made the international publication Bloomberg’s list this year.
-Lorna was one of chefs around the world asked to choose the best burger joint in their countries.
Maps Maponyane, son of the veteran footballer Marks, is on cloud nine right now. The 29-year-old restauranteur’s burger joint, Buns Out, was included in Bloomberg’s list of the world best burgers.
Why is Buns Out one of the best burger joints in the world?
Maponyane, a man renowned for his comedic rhetoric on social media, humbly limited his reaction to the news of his burger joint being ranked among the best in the world, to a simple — yet powerful — “kancane, kancane,” which in English, translates to, ‘one step at a time.’
Buns Out will celebrate its first year in business on 29 September 2020, and already, the brand has garnered international acclaim. The flagship store is located in Linden, Johannesburg.
Five months into operations and business has boomed so much that the demand compelled the 29-year-old to expand and open the second Buns Out restaurant at Palm Boulevard, Gateway, in Durban.
According to culinary experts who ranked the world’s best burgers for Bloomberg, the business’ sharp expansion has more to do with the quality of Maponyane’s menu more than anything.
