The Shake & Out Burger

For too long, East and West Coasters have had the best access to fast food excellence. Yes, I know Shake Shack and In-N-Out Burger are dabbling with locations in places like Texas, Chicago and Dubai, but these are New York and California institutions that remain out of the reach of many.But distance shouldn't force us to wait for them to come to us. Here’s my recipe for the best of both worlds. Beef cooked In-N-Out style, Shake Shack-style sauce—a match made in burger heaven. The wait is over, friends. Get the recipe here.

Hot Brown Burgers

Nothing takes the edge off one too many mint juleps like a Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich. The rich combination of turkey, bacon and Mornay sauce has been a Bluegrass State staple for almost a century; but just because something is a classic doesn’t mean it can’t be improved upon. Here’s my take on the Hot Brown in burger form. Topped with bourbon brown sugar bacon, smoked turkey and Mornay, this burger is the perfect friend maker. Get the recipe here.
