Another regional food question from me.
Tonight we got takeout and I got a California cheeseburger. Which is just a cheese burger with lettuce tomato onion and mayo on it.
Does California call them California cheese burgers?
Anywhere else do you call it a California cheese burger or something else?
It's the mayo.
Ketchup or special sauce are standard. Mustard is Texas style.
This is kind of outdated, but in the 80s mayo on a burger was weird.
A lot of places California burger means avocado, too.
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
