The Vixen Burger

It has been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. That is certainly the case with this burger that was dreamed up by the Mixin Vixen's during ZWTIII. This is a Texas Man size burger that is sure to please. It makes a fantastic starlight meal on the trail for 2 accompanied with home fries and cowboy beans. Enjoy because we sure had fun developing it!
