The Best Burger Recipe

"I'm a guy who likes to cook what he eats and that's the inspiration for this burger," says chef/co-owner Joseph Gerace of Tavern 1844 in St. Croix. But it's not just any burger, it's the winnning entrée of the Taste of St. Croix event that took place during the 2011 St. Croix Food & Wine Experience.The smoky bacon paired with delicate Maine lobster and a caramelized onion and truffle aioli basically earns this burger its winning title, but once you taste it, you'll definitely agree that it earns its menu title of The Best Burger as well. Oh, and did we mention that it's served with 100% Australian Waygu beef? If you make it down to St. Croix, make sure to stop by and try a bite of this decadent burger and enjoy one of over 50 beers that the restaurant has to offer. But if you can't make it down, try your hand at replicating it with the recipe below. — Yasmin Fahr
