Logan’s Roadhouse is setting itself apart with the debut of a new savory-sweet Uncrustables Burger.
If you're unfamiliar, Uncrustables are pre-made, round, crustless sandwiches filled with things like peanut butter and jelly. To create its Uncrustables Burger, Logan’s Roadhouse has swapped out the usual fluffy burger buns for two beer-battered and fried grape Uncrustables sandwiches. Between the grape jelly sandwiches, you'll find a juicy seven-ounce burger patty topped with melted cheddar cheese and Garlic Pickle Aioli. As Shawn Van Winkle, Vice President of Marketing for Logan’s Roadhouse, describes it, "The Uncrustables Burger is bold, a little over the top and undeniably delicious. It’s the kind of menu item that turns heads when it hits the table and gets people talking long after the meal is over."
