Barbecue lovers such as myself certainly love smoked ribs or a good pulled pork sandwich, but our palates aren’t limited to the BBQ-sauce-slathered meats! We also appreciate a good burger, and today, I want to focus on the deliciousness of Seattle’s best Hawaiian burgers, which add the sweetness of pineapple to fill out the juicy burger flavors.
