I’m sure you can order a burger with no bun. I have Celiac’s Disease and have had to do this on road trips and had no reaction. The only ingredients of the burger that would contain gluten, is the bun it’s placed on.

Hey Bill! That is a great idea about the burger with no bun! I have the same issue when I go on long drives
