Pineapples are Hawaiian, right?
Okay, time for a little fun fact. Im guessing that when you see a pineapple, you think of Hawaii, right? I do at least. But, pineapples aren’t really native to the Hawaiian islands…
Shocker, I know! Hawaii and pineapples are linked together because of the large pineapple industry that was built on Hawaii.
If you make these burgers, I hope you enjoy them as much as my family did!
