I thought the pesto mayo was a strange topping for a burger. I don't think it really worked.

These burgers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.

I found the pesto mayo to be a bit overpowering. I think I'll use less of it next time.

These burgers were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture to the patties next time.
