The American Muscle with everything doubled: two smashed grass-fed patties, two slices of melted cheddar, bread-and-butter pickles, mustard and aioli on a toasted wholemeal bun with sweet tomato relish. The second patty makes it properly beefy and turns a decent cheeseburger into a filling one. The sweet relish stops it from feeling heavy, though the bun struggles a little under the load.
