I know that technically it’s summer and I should be posting lighter and much-easier-to-make recipes—that get us in and out of the kitchen as quick as possible—but with how things are right now, I am still very much craving good ol’ hearty comfort food for some reason. To me, nothing screams comfort quite like a burger and fries does. So I’ve teamed up with my friends over at GO BOLD WITH BUTTER to bring you a burger with fries in it. That has to be the ultimate move when it comes to making comfort food at home, right? These Poutine Butter Burgers aren’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re like me and are looking for a substantial heartwarming meal, then look no further because this is it. It’s the perfect recipe to try this weekend!

The last time I shared a falafel recipe on this blog it was those incredible 
I have an undying love of Shake Shack, which is quite the loaded statement to make considering I’m a native Angeleno and this is home of In-N-Out Burger after all. I still remember the first time I had a Shake Shack burger in New York—and I don’t mean to sound facetious at all when I say this—but my entire burger-eating life changed from that moment on. They are, to me, the most delicious fast food burger out there (my only issue is that they’re very tiny) and I got way too excited when they started opening shacks here in Los Angeles, and even more so now that there is a location opening up right down the street from me in Pasadena. Which is just as dangerous as it is exciting. The recipe for these smash burgers comes from the Shake Shack cookbook, 
Summer means burgers and burgers means you’re the luckiest person alive because you’re about to eat something amazing and delicious. Especially if said burgers are flavored with pesto and topped with fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes and fresh basil. You catching what I’m throwing at ya? Classic burger meets everyone’s favorite Italian salad. I’m using the word salad loosely here because there’s no lettuce involved and I’m not complaining about it. Anyhow, where was I? If this burger doesn’t hit you over the head, screaming at you, “THIS IS SUMMER!” Then I don’t know what will. I don’t think I know the answer to that. I don’t think I know you at all. Lucky for us all though, these Caprese Burgers are here to rescue us from the summer heat and cooking conundrum that plagues us all on a week to week basis, “What’s something easy and delicious that I can make for dinner tonight?” I mean, you still have to fire up a grill or heat up a griddle and cook these, but I mean at least you’ll have a burger at the end of it, and isn’t that what we’re all after in the end? A tasty burger that’s out of the box. These are for you. 
There’s nothing like a really good bacon cheeseburger every once in a while from a fancy restaurant or hotel lobby. On a brioche bun with thin shoestring fries. (If there was avocado involved I wouldn’t be mad at it). They get me every time, and I love them for it. At the same time though, there’s also nothing like a really [good] bad bacon cheeseburger from a greasy fast food restaurant/dive bar, am I right? I’ve had a love affair with burgers,
