I am not sure about you, but I did not think that this could be possible. [Read more…]
Rocking Hellmann’s Chorizo & Maple Glazed Bacon Burger
Gone are the days when a hamburger, is merely a beef patty on a bun! Gourmet burgers have replaced the sad, somewhat tired grey patties, served on a soggy bun, with equally soggy salad items.
