Chef Joe Sasto knows how to make a good burger!
He says, “Rather than recreate my Tournament of Champions recipe, I thought it would be fun to elevate the unexpected. This time with my favorite Pearls Specialties olives replacing the usual suspect of pickles in the “secret sauce” The buttery Castelvetranos give a subtle sweetness, and the stuffed Jalapenos bring the heat.”
