Remember those burgers you would get that tasted so juicy and flavorful you couldn’t stop eating? These burgers end up tasting JUST like that, an old style drive-in burger with a classic sauce instead of a pre-processed fast food piece of cardboard. One of the things we like best is that i you put bacon on the bottom and the top of this burger it gives you an extra tasty texture.
