No chili fan in their right mind is going to think of what I served up at the 2019 Bartels H-D Chili Cook-Off as a legit chili. That’s fine. I make variants like this for the folks in their wrong mind, like myself.

Black Garlic Banzai Burger

In Burgers, Sandwiches & Dogs by Mark MaskerLeave a Comment

I’ve always loved teriyaki burgers like the Banzai Burger at Red Robin.

Note that the slaw requires advance preparation.
