“I have an obsession with this little Vietnamese place here in Roanoke, and I have been getting their banh mi for a while,” says Darla Mehrkens, executive chef at Carilion Clinic. “I thought it would be fun to do the burger form for football kickoff weekend. I just took all the flavors that I love from the food I have been eating there and added it to pork and chicken. The addition of basil kind of gives it a Thai flair, and if I want it extra spicy I add Thai peppers to it. The Asian spices and the sweet pickled veggies along with fresh vegetables and herbs is such a great combination, and the sriracha mayo just tops it off. I think just having all those wonderful flavors in a burger keeps things interesting.”
