Popular as “Burger Chachu”, Sharandeep Singh (30), a resident of Tagore Nagar, Hoshiarpur, has added another feather in his cap by making a 20-kg burger. With this, he created a record by making a giant burger at a private show in Mohali.

He used a 6-kg bun, 6 kg of vegetables, 7-kg sauce, 2.5-kg aaloo tikki and 2-kg tin food to attain this feat. From selling burgers on a vending cart to running his own restaurant, Singh now feels proud of his achievements. His earlier creations included a 7-kg burger, a 7-kg sandwich, an 11-kg burger and a 15-kg burger, videos of which went viral on social media.

His ‘Six10Burger’ restaurant is the only serving platform, which offers oil-free burgers and turns junk food into healthy stuff by adding salads. However, from selling burger on cart to getting popular as Burger Chachu, Sharandeep had to experience a lot of struggle.

Around 10 years ago, after completing his graduation in Hotel Management and Catering Technology, he worked with a five-star hotel in Hyderabad. Following his passion of cooking, he was living the life of his dreams. But due to the sudden demise of his father and a robbery at his house, his mother asked him to come back to Hoshiarpur. To support his family, he started doing odd jobs. While he managed to earn two square meals for his family, he was not contended with what he was doing.

Therefore one day, he decided to sell street food. “Around five years ago in July 2016, I borrowed some money from my boss and brought a cart and started selling burgers. With the Almighty’s grace, local residents loved the burgers that were cooked without oil or butter. Within seven months, I opened my own restaurant and named it Six10 Burger. Gradually, visitors’ footfall, specially children, went up and started calling me burger chachu,” said Sharandeep.

Despite facing criticism from local residents for being a turbaned Sikh and pushing a cart on roads, he continued to follow his passion and in just five years, he not only made his business successful but also opened his Six10 Burger chain in Ludhiana. He wife also works with him at his restaurant and supports his choice of career.
