THE VOTES ARE IN... AND WE HAVE A WINNER! 🗳️🏆

A few weeks ago, we asked YOU to choose our next Burger of the Week from 16 outrageous burger creations featured on the animated TV show Bob's Burgers!

And after tallying the votes, one burger sliced through the competition...

🪚 THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSA-CURD! 🪚

🥩 Fresh, never-frozen beef patty
🧀 A generous pile of golden fried cheese curds
🥄 Smothered in our signature Bam Sauce
🍞 Served on a toasted brioche bun

It's a burger with a name straight out of a horror movie, but the only thing getting massacred around here is your hunger! 🪚😂

🥈 AND THE RUNNER-UP IS...

EGGERS CAN'T BE CHEESERS! 🍳🧀

This fried egg and cheese creation came in second place! Will it make an appearance as a future Burger of the Week? We wouldn't rule it out!
