Bun and ground beef—these are the two main components of the burger. It's a perfect food, and not to be fucked with.But once in a while these fundamental components of American greatness can be substituted with analogous but equally delicious ingredients.

The beef is hand-cut, and we even threw some béchamel and caramelized onions in there, because why not?
We've got nothing against cheeseburgers, but sometimes you've got to square the circle.RECIPE: Patty Melt
