As a Burger

These aren’t the fat, crazy burgers you might find all over social media, with five patties and extravagant toppings on soft potato rolls. XFF burgers, or 肉夹馍 rou jia mou, are heartier and more rugged, sandwiching our stewed meats with our crispy soft Daily Bread before pressing it down to meld all the flavors together. One bite and you’ll see why Sloppy Joes felt really familiar to me as a kid.
