Well it is taking something that is basically simple and adding something that has become(for the want of a better word) fashionable.
But then if you want your food fused that is your choice.
I prefer my food to be of a simpler variety....and simpler does not have to be boring.
Pretentious is making something basic(and good) into something that is seen as 'fashionable'.
See....now you have me repeating myself.
Just my opinion, there are other opinions available for you to make a choice from.
Have burger, have chorizo, but don't bastardise (am I allowed to say that ?)both by adding them to each other.
