Slater’s 50/50 Follows Up 100% Bacon Burger With Something So Spicy You Need a Waiver to Try

Coinciding with one of the hottest months of the year for Southern California, the chain’s burger of the month for August features their signature fire beef patty, topped with sliced jalapenos, three-alarm Colby Jack cheese, beer battered unseeded and aged cream cheese stuffed habanero poppers, and a ghost chili bacon spread on a white brioche bun.
