Recipe
Bahn Mi Burgers
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy cold drinks and sizzlin’ sandwiches! This Bahn Mi Burger recipe from Little Spice Jar is a fun twist on the classics and also extraordinarily easy to personalize. Not to mention, many of the ingredients can be found at market! Get started by picking yourself up some beef from T&R and buttery brioche buns from Paw Paws. Then, pick up some cucumbers, microgreens from Know Dat Grow Dat, and maybe even stop off at Poche or Isabel’s tent for pickled veggies. If you aren’t a huge fan of spice, you could also skip the jalapenos and sriracha mayo in favor of farmhouse cheddar cheese from T&R. While you’re at it, grab a sweet potato or two for the perfect side of sweet potato fries.
