Perfect for getting you through the coldest days of the year, [Bad Daddy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashadilla-burger) winter menu is packed with comforting dishes and spiced, ginger beer-based cocktails. A star of the menu is Daddy’s Chili, which is a slow-simmered chili made with 1855 Black Angus Beef. The chili also features in the new Cowboy Crunch Burger, which takes a 1855 Black Angus Beef patty and tops it with housemade Cowboy-candied jalapeños, melted shredded cheddar, Daddy’s Chili, crunchy Frito chips, and a jalapeño-cilantro crema, all served on a soft brioche bun. As John Masterson, Culinary Director at Bad Daddy's, explains, "We’re excited to showcase a seasonal menu that combines intense yet comforting flavors for the winter and captures Bad Daddy’s bold personality, taking the culinary experience to new heights."
