Those who can't get enough Sriracha are going to love the Slater's 50/50 Sriracha Burger. The southern California burger chain is readying a burger made with 50 percent beef, 50 percent bacon and a whole lot of red rooster chili sauce. The burger is one of many, many Sriracha-inspired food stuffs/products that have recently debuted, including vodka and candy canes.
The Slater's 50/50 Sriracha Burger itself features a patty infused with the famous chili sauce, as well as Sriracha-glazed bacon, Sriracha sautéed mushrooms, Sriracha mayo, and pepperjack cheese with a Sriracha drizzle. While that may seem like overkill, America clearly loves its red rooster chili sauce, so it wouldn't be a huge shock if this burger becomes one of the restaurant's most popular. The burger will make its debut December 9 and will sell for $10.95.
