Thai Prew Wan Burger

Thai Burger

 

 

     I am slightly obsessed with Thai food. I mean I will go out of my way to just have some of my favorite dishes in a Thai restaurant. I have been known to travel an hour or so just to sit and have a simple Thai dinner. My obsession can almost border on the line of creepy, (Just kidding), but I do love the combinations that Thai cuisine offer. Spicy alongside sweet. Fragrant and herbal alongside savory and smoky. I love them all. This dish came to mind when I had just had some Thai food in the city and was still craving another hit of it. The weather was starting to break and I also wanted to grill a juicy hamburger.........BAMM! It hit me. Why not combine the two into one delicious lip smacking dinner. Thai meets American. Here we go. My Thai Prew Wan Burger, (or Thai sweet and sour meets American backyard classic).

• 1 lb burger.
