Jamaican Jerk Burgers

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

I ate dinner at Red Robin a while back and found that they can make any of their burgers using Boca burgers, which is pretty cool.  Well, I was all excited to try this Jamaican Jerk Burger that they had, but they were out of Boca burgers that day.  I was pretty bummed, and just ordered their veggie stir fry instead.  I decided to write down their description of the burger and made it at home instead.  Now, I can’t compare it to the original, because I didn’t get to try it, but hit the spot with me.  Here it is:
