A&W Canada menu development director Karan Suri said: “My aim was to add a unique layer of texture to our Teen Burger.

“Ruffles was the perfect choice for a crunchy and delicious addition. The famous ridges of Ruffles chips provide a real crunch and structure to the iconic Teen recipe. Out of all the flavours, the cheesy notes of Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream paired perfectly with our Teen Burger.

“To complete the experience, I had to create the perfect dip for the chip and drew inspiration from Ruffles ridged dippable chips to create the delectable creamy garlic and jalapeño aioli for our Ruffles Crunch Teen Burger.”

The burger features a seasoned grass-fed beef patty topped with Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream crisps, yellow onions, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, bacon, creamy garlic and jalapeño aioli, served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
