Renowned chef and 2023 MasterChef, The Professionals finalist, Kyle Greenwood, is set to collaborate with Meat:Stack – a well-established burger joint in Newcastle – for NE1’s upcoming Restaurant Week.

The collaboration will feature an exclusive menu curated between the Meat:Stack team and Kyle Greenwood, who is sous chef at Seaham Hall.

Especially for NE1 Restaurant Week, the menu will include a specially-crafted beef burger, a unique chicken special, a loaded fries side dish and a milkshake special, all prepared to Kyle’s unique specifications.

Meat:Stack, known for its dedication to quality, flavour and simplicity, will provide the perfect backdrop for these gastronomic delights.

Meat:Stack was founded in 2016 at Newcastle’s iconic Quayside Sunday Market and has since become one of the most popular places in Newcastle for authentic American-style burgers.

Now trading inside Newcastle’s historic Grainger Market and Bishopgate, Leeds, its commitment to using the best beef from rare and traditional breed cows, along with a bespoke selection of cuts for their patties, ensures a superior burger experience. The team at Meat:Stack prides itself on creating freshly-made sauces and seasonings in-house, too, all of which are designed to complement the rich flavours of their beef.

Allan Hyslop, owner of Meat:Stack, expressed excitement about the collaboration: “The opportunity to work with Kyle was something we couldn’t pass up.

“As a loyal customer of ours, he has always encouraged us to stick to our principles, to maintain quality and be as creative as we can with our menu. We can’t wait to have him smashing some beef on the grill on the 15th to celebrate the start of NE1 Restaurant Week.”

Kyle, who recently appeared in the semi-finals of Masterchef The Finalists, also has his own outside catering business, Kiz At Home, which treats corporate diners to Kyle’s culinary expertise in the comfort of their own homes.

Kyle Greenwood shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying: “I’m delighted to be collaborating with such a great business like Meat:Stack, with Allan and his team. It really is a privilege to work with them and I’m looking forward to creating my own mischief in their kitchen with my own Masterchef-inspired burgers.”

The collaboration begins on January 15th – the first day of NE1’s Restaurant Week – at Meat:Stack from 12 noon to 5pm. Kyle will be personally cooking and invites everyone to stop by.
