What is Big Carl Burger Without Top Bun?

Big Carl Burger Without Top Bun is an American-style fast-food burger served with its upper bun removed. It keeps the two beef patties, cheese, special sauce, lettuce and bottom bun, leaving the layers visible and easy to eat with a knife and fork if preferred.

The savoury beef and cheese are balanced by crisp lettuce and a creamy, tangy sauce. It works as a filling lunch or casual dinner, often alongside fries or a side salad. With 17.2 g of protein per 100 g, it is satisfying, but the cheese and sauce also make it relatively rich in fat. Choose salad instead of fries, or ask for less sauce, for a lighter meal.
