It’s summer CD, so I’m going to celebrate a summer guy.
In honor of Jimmy Buffet’s passing, how do you like your cheeseburger in paradise?
Jimmy apparently took his with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and an onion slice. I’m going to assume the French fried potato, big kosher pickle, and cold draft beer were all on the side; I’m asking about the cheeseburger itself.
I like mine with lettuce and tomato, that onion slice (or maybe three or four, I like onion), jalapeno peppers, and some brown mustard (preferably creole mustard). And the cheese should be cheddar or American.
Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, real cheddar cheese (not the fake/plastic garbage), all on a fresh hamburger bun from the local bakery, is hands down my favourite way to enjoy a burger.
In a pinch I’m also a fan of just cheddar cheese and a healthy helping of ketchup.
Recently ordered an Impossible Whopper at a roadside food court during a highway trip in India. It was exactly like I remembered getting in Michigan a few years ago, when they were a novelty. Not paradise, but not bad.
Not familiar with an olive burger. Is this an olive salad, or straight olives, and either way black, green, or mixed? [I keep a jar of olive salad in the fridge at work to make a subway’s spicy italian into an approximation of a muffeletta, so I might give this a shot).
Care to elucidate for those of us a whole state away?
An olive burger is a michigan delecacy. Green Olives (usually chopped or sliced) in a mayo or Aioli spread. Burger will vary with other toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese, etc.
Must be a west side phenomenon, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that over here on the east side of the mitten. (Sounds delicious though, I’ll have to find one next time I’m out that way!)
