Lumberjack Burger

Better hold off on the sides! This burger's a big one!


This is the fifth burger we've made from the Cheese and Burger Society. To quote their site:

As the story goes, a guy once dropped The Lumberjack on his left foot and ended up breaking a few bones. No one showed any sympathy since he’d been holding it with only one hand. Everyone knows The Lumberjack demands the servitude of both your mitts. Needless to say, nobody signed his cast.

Well, I can believe it!
