Arizona Bar Serving Lion Burgers During World Cup

Say, sports fan, is your local sports bar running cheeky drink specials in honor of the World Cup? Swell! It pales in comparison, however, to a joint in Arizona serving lion burgers, made, we’re sure, with 100% American-born giant cats.

↵[Because] lion meat has a “very rich flavor” that risks being overwhelmed by add-ons, the burger is seasoned only with “a little salt and pepper and a little fresh herbs” with chipotle mayonaise served on the side. No cheese on the lion burger, and certainly no lettuce, because, as Selogie put it, “The King of the Jungle doesn’t eat lettuce.”↵Yes, that makes perfect sense. In fact, there’s your marketing campaign right there. “Hi. I’m a lion. And when I’m cannibalizing my brothers on the savanna mixed with only the finest sirloin, I stay right the hell away from vegetables. Lettuce: Not Even Once.”
