Advance Pierre Pretzel Cheeseburger Review

Every time I think I have covered every single availability in the ‘heat and eat’ burger category, I run across a new one.  This week it’s the “Pretzel Cheeseburger” from Advance Pierre, arguably the largest manufacturer of heat and eat burgers, and I’ve tried a gaggle of them.

Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL

I went with the elk ($9.99) and it was cooked to order,… Continue reading Fuddruckers Review
