In the spring of 2017, The Carnivore was nominated by the Iowa Beef Industry Council and Iowa Cattlemen's Association as one of the 10 finalists in Iowa's annual Best Burger contest.
It's a 1/3 pound patty of Moo Meat 90% lean ground beef, a couple of big strips of bacon, Swiss cheese, American cheese, and a sweet chili sauce created by Cranston. Once it's all put together, they go ahead and add one more 1/3 pound patty to the pile.
