Chicken Cheese Steak Burger

An ode to a Philadelphia delicacy.

We’ve taken the iconic Philadelphia chicken cheese steak and turned it into a burger that is topped with fried onions, red peppers, and provolone cheese on a freshly baked bun that’s dressed in garlic mayo!

Oh, so good and nostalgic of my time living in Philly. This is exactly what a good chicken cheese steak should taste like!
