What's a Pink Burger?

For the month of October, Kooper's will be offering a Pink Burger, pictured, to benefit breast-cancer research and patient care.

But what exactly is a Pink Burger? Visually, I was picturing a raw mound of beef. Ick! But, thankfully, Willy Dely, Kooper's marketing rep, cleared up the confusion on Facebook. And the burger sounds delicious.

It's a 100 percent Black Angus beef patty with Port-wine cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, arugula, fried onions, roasted shallots, and cranberry sauce on a pink onion roll.

For every Pink Burger sold, $1 will be donated to the Tyanna Foundation, which raises money for breast cancer.

The burger is available for lunch and dinner at Kooper's Tavern in Fells Point, Kooper's Chowhound Burger Wagon, and Kooper's North in Lutherville-Timonium.

I can't wait to try it.
