Wood Grilled Pinot Burger
At The Allison Inn & Spa at JORY Restaurant in Willamette Valley, Oregon, the Wood Grilled Pinot Burger is made with ground in-house 80/20 using all-natural beef (in Wheeler County, Oregon) and Wagyu beef trim, reduced in Oregon Pinot Noir.
“Our culinary team makes in-house bacon, pickles, dijonaise & onion relish accompanied by fresh brioche hamburger buns made by our pastry team. We finish with Oregon aged white cheddar, fresh arugula greens and our in-house hand cut russet potato fries. Guests love our Pinot Burger – it beautifully highlights the wine region we are in with the reduced Oregon Pinot Noir added at the end.” – Executive Chef Jack Strong.
