From Sparrow’s weekend brunch menu, the All American Wagyu Burger is the indulgent, build-it-tall burger Kirkland keeps coming back for ($26).
About the Dish
This burger starts with a fresh patty of American hybrid wagyu with a marbling score of 10 to 12, sourced from Imperial Ranch. That high marbling score is what makes the patty so rich and juicy, since the fat is woven all through the beef rather than just around the edges. It is stacked on a brioche bun with English cheddar, bacon, a fried egg, sauteed onions, and chorizo aioli, and it comes with fries. The fried egg and chorizo aioli are what make this a true brunch burger, while the wagyu patty gives it a steakhouse heart. It is a serious plate, equal parts brunch and steakhouse, and one of the dishes Kirkland regulars come back for.
What to Drink With It
A burger this rich wants a structured red. Pour the DeLille D2 or the Sparkman Cellars Wilderness alongside it, since both have the tannin and dark fruit to match the marbled beef and bacon. You can browse the Sparrow beverages menu for more options.
