Lucy Cooper’s chef unveils specialty burger to support family of deceased San Antonio food writer

The local food scene was rocked yesterday by the news of the death of San Antonio Express-News writer Chuck Blount, and one local business owner is celebrating his life the only way she knows how: by launching a specialty burger in his honor. Braunda Smith, chef-owner of Lucy Cooper’s Texas Ice House, took to social media to share details of the new Blount Burger, a culinary tribute to the deceased writer. The specialty sando features a four ounce beef patty smothered in pepperjack cheese and piled high with pulled pork, two strips of applewood smoked bacon, a smoked sausage link and two chicken-fried onion rings.
