    Grilled this last night. Amazing!

    Red Robin Bonzai Burger Copycat Recipe


    Ingredients:
    (*) 1 batch Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
    2 beef patties
    Salt and pepper
    1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into slices
    4 pineapple rings
    2 slices cheddar cheese
    Shredded lettuce
    Mayonnaise

    Instructions
    1) Brush both sides of the beef patties with teriyaki sauce. Grill according to desired doneness, basting regularly with teriyaki sauce.
    2) Add the cheese on top near the end to melt.
    3) Brush both sides of the pineapple rings with teriyaki sauce and grill on each side for about a minute.
    4) Lightly toast the hamburger buns.
    5) Place the patties on the bottom bun
    6) Place two slices of tomatoes and then two pineapple rings on top.
    7) Brush the pineapple rings with some more teriyaki sauce.
    8) Top with shredded lettuce.
    9) Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the top bun and place it on the hamburger.
    10) Serve immediately

    (*) TERIYAKI SAUCE INGREDIENTS
    1/2 cup tamari , can substitute low sodium soy sauce. Note: tamari has more flavor than soy sauce and significantly less sodium.
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger ,minced
    1 teaspoon garlic ,minced
    1 tablespoon honey (Vegans: use agave nectar or sweetener of choice)
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    3 tablespoons mirin (see note)
    1/4 cup water mixed with 3 teaspoons cornstarch

    INSTRUCTIONS
    Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
    Store in the fridge for up to a week. Makes about 1 1/4 cups teriyaki sauce.

    NOTE:
    Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine, similar to sake but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content. If you don't have mirin, you can use sherry with a pinch of sugar added to it.

    There is a In N’ Out and a Hops & Drops going in at Tanasbourne Town Center. That’s really going to fuck things up!

    So, if I'm on keto, do I just rip off the bun and tear into the rest?

    Sounds reasonable. I don’t know much about the keto diet though.

    Could be. I heard they abandoned the Tanasbourne project though. I could be wrong.

    They have to be be. In-N-Out is garbage. Not a single person in my household likes anything we've bought there. It's like getting food from A&W (another chain who's food went to shit), with a longer wait. But at least A&W has good root beer.

    Mike's is far better, every burger in Portland is better than In-N-Out.

    Denny's Double Bacon Cheeseburger is about as good as a burger gets.

    Your last
    This last line pretty much invalidates the rest of your post here ... Dennys is garbage and there is no way around that.

    Then you haven't tried their double bacon cheeseburger.

    Everything at Dennys is about 100x better than anything at In-N-Out. Granted, it's not fast food, but still.

    You can keep typing words but it doesn't change the fact that Dennys is trash. I haven't eaten there in over a decade because they lost the opportunity to get my $$$ based on the fact that their food sucks. Their breakfast might be passable if you go to the right one but the rest of that place is worthless.
