It's National Cheeseburger Day: The Strangest Burger Toppings That Somehow Work
It's National Cheeseburger Day . . . and there are two ways to celebrate. One: Having a cheeseburger, obviously.
Or two: Finally throwing away that box of Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni that your grandma bought sometime in the mid-'90s. (???)
There's a list online of "the strangest burger toppings people have had . . . that somehow worked." And here are some of the best entries:
1. Peanut Butter. Someone said, "Don't knock it till you try it."
2. A glazed donut for a bun.
3. Fennel, Brie cheese, fig jam, and bacon . . . all together.
4. Refried beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
5. Pineapple . . . fused to the burger with cheese.
6. Peanut sauce and pickled ginger.
7. Green olives.
8. A slice of fried bologna.
9. Fried mac and cheese, instead of normal cheese.
10. Kimchi.
11. Banana.
12. COLD cheese . . . especially deli American.
13. Marshmallow fluff and chili sauce.
14. A slice of ham. So a TRUE HAM-burger.
15. Hot dogs. As a burger topping.
16. Gummy bears.
By the way, 82% of Americans like cheeseburgers. 66% of people like them topped with American cheese, with cheddar being a close second. Swiss is our third favorite, followed by pepper jack and provolone.
