IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

Holidays. Glorious, stressful, heart-warming, aggravating, memorable, intolerable, exciting, unavoidable, joyful, and expensive. It is that time of year when shoppers push, shove, spit, and curse just to see a moment of shear happiness on the faces of their loved ones. Grocery stores become obstacle courses that require stealth navigation. Electronic stores are organized chaos. And we won’t even touch on department stores, less we forget the Wal-Mart pepper spray incident of 2011 . But we must not forget that all of this insanity is in the name of love and in the spirit of giving. To do our part to lighten your holiday burden, we’re featuring the In-Laws Fiver - Turkey Patty stuffed with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and topped with Maple Butternut Squash, Housemade Cranberry Sauce, and Garlic Mayonnaise on a fresh baked Multigrain Bun. Pick one up for $5 on your way to grandmother’s house before you have truly had your fill of the holidays.

At the #3 spot drops ALEXC’S Midtown Cheddar Bacon while #2 features a rally from RHA70’S Michigan Wolverine Burger.
