Chef’s Note: To commemorate International Burger Day (which is May 28th), I treat myself with a double portion of one of my favourite foods. No matter what you like in cheeses, condiments or meats (or even non-meats), everything works nicely together on a burger held between two buns. Easy and quick to make. My two-cheese double stack burger recipe will fill anyone up I think! Maybe you’ll be wanting another…..Enjoy!

Prepping of the bun:
