The beautiful, open-faced burgers here are so big and so pleasing, you can’t do them justice if you fill up on Trudy’s award-winning hot sauce and chips, so pace yourself. The substantial buns (regular, whole grain, or onion roll) are buttered and grilled, the better to hold the half-pound patty, cooked to your specifications. Then add fresh fixin’s, the cheese of your choice, spicy chipotle mayo and/or stone-ground mustard, and plenty of thick, crisp bacon. Don’t be ashamed to ask for extra napkins — you’ll need them.
