DIY burgers

Wolfgang and I love food. Yes, it's true, in case you couldn't tell yet.

One thing we really like is to go to places where you can create your own burger. They typically are a little expensive so we don't do it very often, but when we do...MmmMMM!!

So last night we decided to do a "DIY" burger feast. Although we didn't have as many options as you would find at the burger joint, we did still have "gourmet" beef, mixed greens, fancy cheese {swiss of course}, and banana peppers; we love them b. peps! We also LOVE sweet potato fries, which is something else that is usually on the burger menu, so we made our own s.p. fries as well, which sometimes comes with a delicious aioli dip. It's kinda a sin in my book now to have sweet potato fries without the aioli stuff, so I decided to look up a recipe.

So I did, made it up and....it was good, but nothing like in the restaurants. Comes to find out, there are numerous different types of aioli sauces. Who knew? Wolfgang did. I didn't. So I finally found what I was looking for, and it was divine- the icing on the cake.

The recipe is super simple and found here. There are so many variations, but I tried that one and really liked it. I also added a big blob of dijon to it.

By the end of the night we were content with our meal and our garlicy breath.
