Slater’s 50/50 Releases Sriracha Burger 

SoCal’s better burger chain, Slater’s 50/50, is releasing its newest creation on Monday, December 9, 2013: the Sriracha Burger.

The Sriracha Burger features Slater’s signature 50/50 blend—50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon—mixed with Huy Fong Foods’ Sriracha and their Chili Garlic Sauce. The spicy patty rests on a bed of Sriracha coleslaw and gets topped with a Sriracha-mushroom sauté, melted Pepper Jack cheese, Sriracha-glazed thick-cut bacon ribbons, Sriracha mayo, and an extra squiggle of Sriracha, all sandwiched between a brioche bun.

The Sriracha Burger is available at all six Slater’s 50/50 locations: San Diego, Huntington Beach, Pasadena, Lake Forest, and Rancho Cucamonga.

For a vegetarian option, ask for the housemade veggie patty (which is apparently pretty darn delicious) and request no Sriracha bacon.

Happy grilling, and happy Memorial Day/Fourth of July/Labor Day! Cheers to you and cheers to summer!
