A selection of premium patty varieties, fluffy brioche buns, and all the fixings (including multiple cheese options, of course) are key for making a mouthwatering layered creation!

When it comes to greasing the grates, avocado oil spray is one of Founder + CEO Lisa's go-tos!

Why we're obsessed with this oil alternative:

🔥 Its high smoke points mean avocado oil can withstand heat over 500°F (aka it won’t break down or cause any stickiness that might alter food texture or dirty your grill 😉👏)

🥑 It enhances allll the savory notes in your food, making your favorite grilled dishes even tastier
