Inspired By Our Travels Main Dishes

Ode to Slabtown Burger

Jump to recipe

One of our favorite small beach towns is Traverse City, Michigan.  I say that with a little trepidation because no one thinks of Michigan as being a beach destination and those who selfishly want to keep it to themselves don’t want word spreading too far and wide.  😉  When we make a trip there, one place is always on our repeat visit list…Slabtown Burgers.

Pretty much anything you get there is good but they have this cream cheese pepper jack stuffed burger that is to die for.  It isn’t unheard of for us to make it a stop before even checking in to our rental.  Since we’re not lucky enough to have access to it all the time, I have made my  “Ode to Slabtown” burger in attempts to get us through until our next blissful visit.  I think when the hubby’s eyes light up when he realizes I’m making this means I’ve come pretty close.   The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
