Maple Syrup Burger
"One of the classic Northern tales is of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox Babe. The tales are of how giant he was and how much he could eat. So we've put together a burger in his honor. The burger features the up-north flavor of maple syrup. You may not think this sounds good at first, but when combined with cayenne pepper and the burger meat you get a really great combo of sweet, savory & spicy. Trust me this is well worth trying out!"
