S2-37. Zuney Burger - Henning Klopper
Notas do episódio
In this episode of A Table in the Corner, I sit down with Henning Klopper, co-founder of Zuney Burger, to explore how a small farm-to-fork burger business from the Eastern Cape grew into one of Cape Town's most talked-about restaurant brands, and my absolute favourite burger. Fresh off recognition from Time Out as one of the world's best burger restaurants and a place on the 101 World's Best Burgers list, Henning reflects on the attention with characteristic humility, insisting there's still plenty to learn.
Our conversation goes well beyond burgers. We talk about building a business around the family's Wagyu cattle, respecting every stage of the value chain, why consistency matters more than perfection, and the realities of growing from a single shop to multiple locations without compromising quality. Henning also shares insights into restaurant economics, central production kitchens, equipment, sourcing and why telling customers the truth about your ingredients is always the best strategy.
It's an honest conversation about craftsmanship, hospitality and entrepreneurship, and about building a restaurant brand that grows by staying true to its values rather than chasing trends.
