Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon
The burger that sounds like a dare. Bacon, a peanut butter sauce, house sauce, mayo, grilled onions and pickles. The sour pickles cut through the rich peanut butter, the bacon adds salt, and together they make surprising sense. It is the one first-timers are most curious about.
The story
Peanut butter on a burger sounds like a Portland invention and is not: it has turned up on Midwestern diner menus for decades, where the logic is the same as putting it with bacon in a sandwich — fat, salt and sugar in one spreadable layer. The pickles are what make this version work, cutting through the richness before it becomes too much. It is the burger Killer Burger is known for, and the one customers dare each other into ordering.
