It's a great burger, sweet, spicy and delicious! I am a big fan of burgers, I just wanted to construct a burger that has a little bit of everything I want on a burger. The peppery arugula, a buttery soft bun, the spicy habanero and the tangy sweetness of the onions and not to forget the smoothness of the cheese. This combination is great, I think that it all pairs together. One thing I learned about burgers is that toppings are everything, great topping make a great burger regardless if they are sweet or savory. I hope when you guys make this burger, that you will experience everything I did.
