Ghost Pepper-Spiced Burgers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wayback Burger Just Added the Spicy New Ghost Pepper Burger

— June 7, 2024 — Lifestyle
Wayback Burger is bringing the heat this summer with the debut of two spicy LTOs: the new Ghost Pepper Burger and the new Spicy Cheese Curds. And to cool down, the brand is also launching a new Strawberry Shortcake Shake.

Available now through August 31 from more than 17 locations, the spicy new offerings are not for the faint of heart. The new Ghost Pepper Burger pairs two top-quality beef patties with lightly melted cheddar cheese, two slices of Wayback Burgers’ crispy applewood smoked bacon, spicy jalapenos, and a fiery ghost pepper sauce. If you want to crank up the heat, you can pair the burger with the new Spicy Cheese Curds, which consists of golden cheddar cheese curds tossed in a Texas Pete fiery and bold Dust dry seasoning.
