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 Burger
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…
North Carolina Stuffed Burger
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…
Tennessee BBQ Burger
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...
New Hampshire Black Bean and Pumpkin Slider
So when I do the state burgers I have to look at what is either a famous food from that state or a state food. I had several options for New Hampshire, but then I saw the state fruit was a pumpkin… This made me say GAME ON!! I am making a burger based on Pumpkin!! So here you go…
Connecticut White Clam Burger
Connecticut was a state that I had to do some real digging on to try and find something to make for my state burger. One thing I did run across a few times was a white clam pizza. So I started thinking to myself how could I get my Connecticut White Clam Burger to be based on this. It took…
Illinois Ball Park Burger
Ok I will admit I had been putting off the Illinois inspired burger for awhile now. I mean you would think I live here it would be the easiest one for me and the first one I would do right? Nope I guess living here makes it a little harder. So I asked all my friends what represents Illinois....
Nevada Burger w/Pesto Mayo
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…
Idaho Burger
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...
Iowa Burger
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!...
