Buffalo Burger with Bacon and Blue Cheese

It’s almost 11 PM as I am typing this and I can still hear the bang! boom! bang! of fireworks outside. I don’t know about our neighbors but my 4th of July celebration ended with my last bite of this humongous buffalo burger with bacon and blue cheese. And what a celebration of  tastes  it was: thick and juicy beef patty with a touch of spice, crisp bacon and pungent mayo-blue cheese dressing. Nom nom nom!
