Double Epic
The chain’s best-known burger: two smashed Creekstone Black Angus patties with aged cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickle, grilled onion and Epic sauce on a toasted Turano brioche. Crisp-edged, beefy and fully dressed. Over a thousand calories, so the single Classic Epic is enough for most people at lunch.
