X-burger at W exquisite

Hamburgers have long been relegated to the “junk food” category for the combination of patties of which the ingredients are somewhat unidentifiable and the small amount of vegetables in between the bread, representing fat, grease and general rotund unhealthiness. However, there are exceptions to the rule and the flexible recipe for burgers can be transformed to turn it into a...
