So when looking into Rhode Island to find my state inspired burger I decided to work around the Johnny Cake. Now this was a challenge because before tackling creating the Rhode Island Burger I had never tried Johnny Cakes. So first I had to learn how to make them, then I had to learn to...
Maine was one of the easier burgers to think of what I wanted to do for the state inspired burger recipe. This may just be me personally but when I think of Maine I think of Lobster! So for my Maine Burger I wanted to do a Surf and Turf Burger, but how exactly to make a surf and turf…
When it came time to do a state burger one thing came up over and over. Barbecue Pork! So I figured why not just go over the top and make an awesome burger topped with a really good BBQ Pork and a great North Carolina BBQ Sauce. I had to put my own spin on it though to really put…
It is time for me to do another one of my state inspired burgers. For this one I am looking to the state of Tennessee for inspiration. After a little bit of searching around I settled on basing this one off of Tennessee Whiskey, a Jack Daniels Honey to be exact! This is literally one of my...

It was research time again! I love digging into what I should do for a state burger and this time it was to look in to Nevada! One of the things that I found that I thought would be really cool to play with is Pine Nuts. So I decided to do something with a Pine Nut Pesto in order…
This burger was one of the most fun I have EVER had in creating. When I thought Idaho I thought (like many people would) Potatoes. What do you do though for a potato burger? I mean there really were a freaking TON of cool possibilities. I went with using my potatoes as fries, waffle fries to be...
You may know I am from Illinois, born and raised in Chicago. So Iowa is only one state over for me. In my wrestling travels I was in Iowa a LOT! Met some really, I mean REALLY good friends there. When it came time for this burger it was pretty easy to text a couple people and say “Hey!...
