People's Choice

Cricket Royale | The cherry Cricket

We took our classic Cricket Burger and piled it high with braised short rib, bone marrow caramelized onions, and duxelles. We covered it with melted cave-aged Swiss cheeses and got sweet ‘n savory with roasted garlic onion jam and black pepper aioli. We added crispy onions for crunch and took it over the top with a soft pretzel bun.
