"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Honolulu Grill (St. George, UT)

The Honolulu Grill in St. George, Utah features authentic Hawaiian dishes, like loco moco, plate lunch, musubi, shave ice, katsu chicken, and noodle bowls, just to name a few.

Our theory: just because you throw some pineapple on something, does not make it Hawaiian (we're talking to you, so-called-Hawaiian ham and pineapple pizza).  This burger proves once and for all you don't have to have a slab of pineapple on it to be called Hawaiian.

Because teriyaki beef is such a typical Hawaiian dish, the Honolulu Grill serves a burger with teriyaki beef piled on it.

Honolulu Burger $7.50 (cheese .25 and onion rings .50 extra)

Guest blogger CR is still dreaming about the Honolulu Burger weeks later.  He said,  "The teriyaki beef on top of the ground beef, combined with the teriyaki sauce was perfect.  I liked that the bun offered enough structure that it didn't all fall apart; with that much meat and that much sauce, it was a lot of burger."  In a word, CR says it's ono - the Hawaiian word for delicious.  Now only, if we could've actually been eating it on the beach in Honolulu.  Oh to dream.


Now that's a mouthful.
