Sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese on a flame-grilled patty, with lettuce, tomato and mayo. The char on the beef adds a smoky edge to an old diner favourite. Earthy and mellow.

About Back Yard Burgers
Lattimore Michael opened the first Back Yard Burgers in Cleveland, Mississippi, on 21 March 1987. The name sets the tone: Black Angus beef, flame-grilled so it tastes like a cookout in someone’s back yard. The first restaurants were drive-thru only, and franchising started a year later.
Only a handful of restaurants remain, in Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida and Illinois. At its peak in 2007 there were 179.
