Food as Complexity
Legendary Burgers• That six-string on the wall isn’t just a guitar.
And our proprietary blend of fresh beef isn’t just a burger. It’s a legend. And has been for nearly four delicious decades.
Legendary 10 oz. Burger • Famous the world over: topped with
seasoned bacon, two slices of Cheddar cheese, a crisp fried onion ring, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
S.O.B. Burger • Basted with spicy Chipotle Pepper puree and
topped with Jack cheese. Served on a buttered-toasted bun with Hard Rock Guacamole & grilled onions.

raisins, and leavened bread• Jainism – no root vegetables, especially onions
and garlic, no alcohol, honey, or meat.• Buddhism – mostly vegetarian, meat OK if it
died of “natural causes” • Christianity – added baked goods, biscuits,
