"You probably wouldn’t expect a place like this to be in consideration for spicy food, but Lucky Buns isn’t your average burger joint. Try the “Hot Tiger” bun, a fantastic fried chicken sandwich with Sichuan pepper paste topped with pickles, onions, and Chinese yellow mustard. Or get the “Hot Amato” bun, which has a single beef patty in addition to that spicy fried chicken." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
