Feast Your Eyes on This Bloody Mary Burger

Screw the New Year's resolution. Starting January 1, Slater's 50/50 will be serving the ultimate hangover cure: a bloody mary burger. Because when you've got a wicked hangover, ordering two separate items can be entirely too much to handle.
This burg, which is decidedly the ultimate dude food, combines all the elements and spices that make a bloody mary so darn delicious. They mix Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce into a Sterling Silver ground beef patty, then It’s top it with grilled tomatoes and garlic-stuffed olive tapenade, smother it in bacon vodka sauce, and then sandwich the patty between their bacon pretzel bun. To top it all off, the burger is then stabbed with a celery stalk. Consider it the solid version of El Cid's "meal marys."
These crazy concoctions are nothing new to Slater's though. They're known for their inventive take on burgers for bacon-lovers. The signature 50/50 patty is made from 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon, is the inspiration and star of Slater’s 50/50. Also on the menu is the peanut butter and jellousy burger with thick-cut bacon, creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly and the B’ B’ B’ bacon burger, a 50/50 patty with bacon American cheese, sunny side up egg, thick cut bacon and bacon island dressing on a bacon pretzel bun.
Sounds like something that one of the contestants on the new "Epic Chef" might have created right?
The bloody mary burger will be available at the Pasadena, Anahiem, San Diego, and Huntington Beach locations.
