Here at Schweid & Sons, we take the freedom to make one’s Burgers however one likes very, very seriously. We’ve even launched an entire movement to support this cause. So what’s better than a restaurant that gives you the ability to literally Build Your Own Burger?

Enter Philip Smith, the director of culinary at D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches in New England. One of the best items they offer on their menu is the Build Your Own Burger option, which allows customers to aspire to Burger greatness with their choice of over 20 toppings. Smith shared with us his own variation on this theme with his BYO Double Burger, stacked high and oozing with spice and flavor.
