Build Your Own Bun Menu
But add-ons abound at the Highway 52 adjacent restaurant. While the spicy Arsonist factors in three different kinds of chili peppers in its construction, the Build Your Own Bun menu offers toppings galore, including five leafy greens, seven types of cheese, nine kinds of sauce (such as serrano jam and maple hollandaise), and veggies galore, each harvested by a regional farm. Finish it with avocado, bacon, fried egg, beer cheese, and/or fried egg, and you’ll think of Santee next time you feel a hankerin for burgers and beer.
