Whiskey Bacon Burger
Whenever Karl the Fog rolls in, we like to warm up with this juicy burger.
They marinate the applewood bacon in Jack Daniel’s whiskey overnight, so those smoky and complex flavors mix together. After cooking the bacon and blending it with burger patties made with Certified Angus Beef, it's topped with pepperjack cheese, arugula, sriracha aioli.
The results are pure magic!
