Let's bring out some new flavors for the burgers. This delight goes beyond the ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomato classic; it's a pork burger, with caramelized pineapple and peppery arugula on top, as well as the sweet amazingness that is teriyaki sauce. And we've got some earthy umami fries on the side. New flavors, new ideas, new burgers.
