If you’re looking for to take a culinary leap into the unknown, you may want to consider taking a trip to Spamville. Not only is it basically Hawaii’s unofficial state mascot, there are actually cooking competitions and chef showcases that choose Spam as the star ingredient. Well, prepare yourself to get Spammy with it—Treager style. Think of it as bacon’s lightly-spiced cousin. It goes great with your morning eggs, or crisped up to make one killer burger topper. Our Traeger Spamburger is dressed to impress with smoky Chipotle Mayo, and a Sunny-side Up Egg for good measure. It’s simply Spamtastic.
