A few weeks ago after multiple days of snowboarding, wife couldn’t believe how fast I ate it.
Burger antics has been open 10 years now.
500th BURGER OF THE WEEK: THE MEATSIAH
our dry-aged steak burger brushed with country dijon mustard topped with mushroom duxelles, crispy prosciutto, & fried french brie-stuffed puff pastry served with a red wine glaze.
This one was excellent, and paired great with Fantome, Chimay, and Off Color!
Had a thing for olive burgers since a fellow Michigander asked where you can get them in Chicago (the answer is that you can’t, not really since B&B burned down before the pandemic). We made olive smash burgs today with a side of morels to hold me over til we are back in MI at the end of the month. Wedding is not too far from Lansing so I am going to work my way into a meal at the Peanut Barrel.
What's an "olive smash burger"? Just instead of using onions, you used olives?

Olive burgers are a Michigan thing that hasn’t spread far outside the upper midwest. Exact recipe varies by location, but most are chopped green olives with pimentos, softened cream cheese or mayo, a little olive brine, if there is cheese it is provolone or swiss. My favorite spot uses a green and black olive blend and a pumpernickel bun.
We were making smash burgers and proper olive burgera are SO HARD to find in Chicago so I whipped up an olive salad with pitted black olives I had on hand and some kewpie. The Gruyere was melted on while the burgs were smashed on the grill. Really not replacing the Peanut Barrel here so much as holding me over til I am in East Lansing at the end of the month.
How the olive burger became a Michigan original
The first thing to know about the olive sauce at Weston’s Kewpee Sandwich Shoppe in downtown Lansing is that you don’t get to know how they make the olive sauce.

A couple burgers from my Austin trip a couple weeks ago

Their standard cheeseburger. Charbroiled. Reminded me of a Whopper. Solid. Probably wouldn't go out of my way again as a visitor , but I'd definitely stop in occasionally if I was local. I debated getting the Jalapeno burger since they mention that in Dazed & Confused, but I was battling a touch of food poisoning, so decided not to push my luck.
Hold Out Brewing
Smashed patty, 'merican cheese, shrettuce, comeback sauce, French's yella mustard, dill pickles, diced onion.
7 bucks and fantastic. Thx for the rec, Nathan. That place also has the best wings I've ever had. They might have ruined me for wings.

It's worth it just to go there to see the Dazed props though.

I burged at a spot on the hot burgers list
Standing Room Torrance
There were better sounding burgers on the menu but I wanted something more standard so I went with Dressed.
Burger was solid if not exceptional. Fries were great but perhaps they forgot the truffle oil. A respectable 7.5/10

Try Glory Days on a Thursday night. $4 1/3 pound burger special that is fantastic. Steak fries and rings are solid as well.
