Patty Melt

You can’t be a vision of health every day, and for the days the thought of kale makes you want to scream this burger is here to comfort you. This is my take on Steak and Shakes Frisco Melt, with caramelized onion (because they make everything better) and without the violent stomach pain that comes with the original.
