Paula, what a cool post! I love how you guys put pimento cheese on your burgers over there. We always had them on cracker growing up. Now, I’m super excited to put some on a cheese burger! Over here in Utah we do the fry sauce on burgers… ketchup mixed with mayo. Shhh… it’s typically called Utah’s secret sauce. haha.
Such pretty photos, too!
I remember that fry sauce from your roasted potato post, sounds wonderful, can’t wait to try it on fries and burger!

For the love of all that’s good in the world, PLEASE bury me in a blanket of this! 🙂
Indeed!
