Après Adventure
"It was a pretty cold day (okay, it was a record-breaking cold snap), but with beautiful blue skies, heading on an adventure didn't feel unreasonable."
This burger recipe was inspired by zesty, cheesy nachos, and created for the not-so-average, part-time couch potatoes living the West Coast adventure lifestyle.
