Burger Beast Food News – January 6th

This is the 2nd edition of my Burger Beast Food News. I’m testing out this potential new recurring feature which will cover any pertinent Burger News and Comfort Food News info that I believe you will be interested in. I’ve also added a Pop Culture News category.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, so please feel free to leave a message below. Let me know how I can improve on this.

Thanks.
