"The Burton Family Secret Burger Recipe is a hometown favorite amongst all NASCAR Fans." – Ward Burton, NASCAR Legend This recipe uses freshly harvested bear meat from Virginia – and mixes in Pit Boss fan favorites spices and sauces. And if you like cheese, we recommend stuffing these burgers with fresh gouda cheese to maximize flavor. Smoke it up on your favorite Pit Boss grill using your favorite pellets, but we recommend Mesquite Blend for best results.
