  4. Mix coleslaw with dressing, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar for a crisp, tangy slaw.
  5. Assemble: bottom bun, mayo and ketchup, lettuce, tomato, cheeseburger patty, top bun; serve with fries and coleslaw.

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • For extra smokiness, briefly brown the bun in the skillet after assembling.
  • Add a squeeze of pickle juice to the coleslaw for a sharper tang.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with icy dill pickle spears and a light lemon-mint sparkling water.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat fries in 425°F oven 5–7 minutes to regain crispness.
