MISSISSIPPI SLUGBURGER



Mississippi Slugburger image

I'm showing you my take on one of America's strangest hamburgers, and certainly the hamburger with the strangest name. But don't worry, this is 100% mollusk free. The name comes from the fact that these used to cost a nickel-and in the past, the slang term for nickel was "slug."
