Best burgers Can’t decide which Food & Drink burger recipe to make this weekend? To narrow things down, we asked some of our contributors to pick their all-time favourites. Jennifer MacKenzie chose her “over-the-top” Turducken Burgers—double-stuffed patties of turkey, chicken and smoked duck glazed in cherry barbecue sauce. Christopher St. Onge went with his Thai-inspired Lime Leaf Pork Burger with Chili-Garlic Jam and Lime- Glazed Bacon. And I picked my Smash Burgers with Cheese, Pickles and Special Sauce. These juicy, fast-food-style burgers are cooked in a cast iron skillet, which can be heated on the grill to keep the party outdoors. Find the recipes at lcbo.com/fdearlysummer21.
