Say Hello To The Official Guys Gab Burger

While down in South Beach for the Amstel Light Burger Bash, Chef Paul Malvone served up burgers on behalf of Amstel. This year, he gave Amstel Light fans and festival-goers a chance to taste his award-winning “Hot Mess” burger, which includes bacon, jalapeños, sweet potato fries and dripping American cheese between two Thousand Island dressed buns.

He’s got the talent and the burgers speak for themselves- they truly are delicious.

Chef Paul offered to create a burger recipe specifically for our readers and designed to pair perfectly with Amstel Light, since Amstel Light is the ideal match for the most mouthwatering burger recipes around. Here’s what he came up with:

The Guys Gab Burger

Cooking:
