The Boss Hamburger

That bad boy is the make-at-home version of Kerbey Lane’s “Boss” burger. It’s one of those things I’d happily just let Kerbey Lane make for me… but in 4 years of asking on Twitter, they have still yet to open a Houston location.

And Austin is just too far to drive for lunch.

Sometimes.

The Boss Hamburger

Now that it’s warm again (I wasn’t so sure we’d ever see the day), we’ve put Fancy Burger Night back on the weekly menu. The first Fancy Burger Night of 2014 was celebrated with The Boss: a cheeseburger with bacon, a fried egg, verde sauce, and, at home – pico de gallo.

  • This burger is aptly named! The Boss is right! Makes me want to start a Fancy Burger Night of my own!! Looks soooo good!

    • Lindsey took the words right out of my mouth! That IS an aptly named burger indeed. I think the salsa seems like the perfect touch to cut through a little bit of the richness here. Yum! = )

  • Oh man this sandwich is AMAZING!!

  • Wow! That’s a serious hamburger! 🙂

  • Ashley

    Yum! Love your fancy burger recipes; we’ve made quite a few and they were all amazing!

  • Harmony

    This may mean the end of our friendship (it can be fixed), but I have never been to Kerbey Lane. Ever.

    #roadtrip?

    • Allow me to suggest Austin as the first option for #hastagfest2015
