Bobby Flay's Crunch Burger {Pass the Cookbook}



Summer is all about the burger. And although summer technically just started last week, Mr. J and I have already had a least one burger a week for the last couple of months.

Thus is was a welcomed suggestion of using Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries, and Shakes
for this month's Pass the Cook Book Club pick.  Each month Kita from Pass the Sushi picks a cookbook from her shelf that hasn't been used in a while.  We then pick one of three recipes to make.  I went with his signature Crunch Burger recipe.




The potato chips might have been the first thing to sell me on this recipe but in the end it was the sauce that had me licking my fingers and wanting seconds.  

*Insert here any moans or groans of goodness.**




It was one messy burger but well worth the mess. I have plans to use that sauce over and over and over again.  The only thing missing here was the milkshake.
