What is your favorite Burger from childhood?
A plain Burger from Burger King. I was a very picky eater as a child, so it’s the only Burger I would eat!
What is the last Burger you ate?
A Bacon Cheddar Burger. I added some tater tots to it for extra crunch!
What Burger have you not had that you want to try?
I’d love to try a Burger with mushrooms and some sort of truffle sauce. I think that would be really interesting.
If you could share a Burger with anyone—alive or dead, real or fictional—who would it be?
Mindy Kaling! I think she’s hilarious and I wouldn’t be self-conscious about eating in front of her!
