FLORIDA

Cuban Fritas

Classic Miami-style Cuban fritas are little hamburgers made with seasoned beef and pork, occasionally flavored with chorizo, but their real defining characteristic is the handful of thin-cut shoestring fries that gets pressed down onto each patty before being topped with a squirt of spicy ketchup. Our backyard grilled version is a little bigger, but the spirit remains the same.

Fries IN the burger?! Madness!!

:)

Pennsylvania is the state recognized for insane fry placement:

In California, the stoners like to embed their fried foods in the burgers so they don't get grease all over their video game controllers.

HAWAII

The Hot Hawaiian

Perhaps it's a stereotype to say that Spam and pineapple are the most iconic modern Hawaiian-American ingredients, but, well, a fact's a fact. Fortunately, the two go smashingly well together. We've combined them along with a grilled burger patty, a couple slices of Swiss cheese, and a dollop of spicy sriracha mayo for our Hot Hawaiian Burgers.

The spam and pineapple I understand, but an english muffin?!

Sriracha goes with almost EVERYTHING

English muffin - a nod to Captain James Cook?

That's a stretch, but I still gotta give it the applause.
