Cheese Fondue Beef Burger

Pairs well with:

Pinot Noir

Every pour of our Pinot Noir brings you a delicious blend of berry flavors and the romantic aroma of violet.

The French in me was inspired to create a burger that would taste both like a cheese fondue and a beef fondue all in one by having the beef fondue dipping sauce on both side of the buns to compliment the beef patty and topped with cheese fondue serve on an French roll to get the feel of dipping a French roll into the cheese fondue like you would do at a restaurant.And wow I have to say that this burger definitely tastes like both cheese and beef fondue and it is out of this world! If you are a fondue lover like me this is the burger for you!
