It must be a regional thing to my area then. You were the last reply and the consensus is that's just a regular burger or dressed burger and avocado would make California. I agree the mayo is the only separate thing about it. I know of at least 4 burger pizza places that call it California and have it like I described. One place puts it in a hoagie roll and calls it a gizmo.
@rpardee @Kurtroedeger @tyghebright True. Very True.
@rpardee @Kurtroedeger @tyghebright or perhaps avocado (at least in southern USA).
@rpardee @Kurtroedeger @tyghebright alfalfa spouts and avocado would make it totally Californian. What they’re selling is just a burger.
Oh yeah. The "California" sandwich of the 80s was (alfalfa) sprouts, turkey, and avo.
@Kurtroedeger @tyghebright you're blowing my mind.
I think there was also a time where "California " would signify bean sprouts
