Bobby Flay's Crunch Burger {Pass the Cook Book Club}

 

That's right, you read the title right. I am sharing a burger recipe. Sorry for the break in transmission of sweets. But it's time for another installment of Pass the Cook Book Club. If your remember I joined the group last month which was created and hosted by Kita of Pass the Sushi. Each month she selects three recipes from a cookbook and we all make one and reveal our selections on the same day. It's quite fun and encourages us all to dust off old cookbooks, discover new cookbooks and for me this month step out of my comfort zone.

  

This month's selection is Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries, and Shakes. A great selection and perfect for my current dinner menu of kebabs, burgers and simple salads. Mr J got very excited about the selections and it was hard for him to just pick one. Finally he settled on this Crunch Burger and since he was on vacation last week, he volunteered to make dinner. I think it's because he was very excited to try this one and of course I didn't object and just sat back and waited to take pictures and eat.

And boy was it AMAZING! This is a very juicy, flavorful and as the name implies, crunchy burger.  Thanks to the heaping layer of potato chips. Never thought of putting potato chips on my burger but after trying it, I'll say I won't go back to a regular burger anytime soon. The horseradish mustard mayo is the best part of this burger in my opinion. I know not everyone likes horseradish, but it's soft enough in the mayo to add a kick but not overpowering. It totally brings this burger to a whole other level. Mr J insists it's the best burger he has had in a long time and I completely agree with him (for once!).

If you are planning on making just one burger this summer, make it this one! You will not be disappointed. Just remember to toast your bun :)
