deep fried cheeseburger

obligatory slice of healthiness?

don't forget, in the eighties, reagan deemed ketchup to be a vegetable so that it could be counted as a serving of the daily food group in school lunches.

simply not true

okay, according to that query, not reagan, sorry, but the us department of agriculture and "mid-level reaganauts" for subsidized school lunches. simple, no. true, yes. "deem"=opinion, not fact

when i saw this on the menu, i thought they meant that the burger patties were breaded and deep fried, japanese style. but no, it's a fully formed and cooked double cheeseburger that was dipped in an egg wash, then breaded in panko crumbs. i also thought, "dang, only on guam" but apparently it's a staple of state fairs all over the mainland.

for bunch of pants, who reminded me of its existence.

hi auntnanny, roboppy, sugarfreak, serge, lola, renata--this was definitely an experience. maybe not to be repeated, but memorable nonetheless!

pieman--it seems they've no compunction about deep-frying an item so unnecessarily, but to actually deep-fry a potato?? the horror!

hi bert--it was a lunch special at sam choy's. i thought sam thought it up, but i guess the county fairs beat him to it.

hi bunch and frances--it tasted okay. i don't know how necessary the bread crumb coating is, it doesn't keep it any hotter, moister or any neater than a regular hamburger. i think it's actually detrimental because they've got to make the burger condiments a little dryer than normal to keep all the gunk from oozing out.

leff, you are too funny. i don't know if there is any way to make this healthier, even if it was deep-fried in canola oil!

rather salty, it was rather scary. really, that's exactly what the breading did--just added random calories and random bulk.

they should've added the fries inside the burger...then fried it. YUMMIE!!
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

chotda says:

cm--it sort of was.

choc--i think i did go on a diet after this, come to think of it.

ultrateg--omg, that's sort of awesome.
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

Rather Salty says:

with the added calories it didn't taste any better? it would have to be pretty damn delicious that that amount of damage
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

Esther17 says:

Actually, I'm thinking they just should have breaded the whole dish, and thrown it in the fryer. I mean, if you're gonna do it, then do it big!
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

chotda says:

rather salty, it does seem like a waste of excess calories, doesn't it?

esther, what a frightening yet supremely intriguing idea. maybe i could wrap up the ketchup in some sort of gelatin or edible rice paper sleeve, bread and deep-fry that. if you wanted more ketchup, all you'd have to do is bite open the top and pour it on!

WHERE'S THE BACON? i love me some bacon! what the heck kinda burger is this without the bacon? yoo hoo, bacon pls.

TESTER101 [deleted] says:

this reminds me of 'deep fried pizza' and 'deep fried Mars bars' which they serve in some fish & chip shops here in england.

i haven't witnessed or sampled these 'delicacies' in person, they seem to be only available in the north and Scotland.

Benzo Harris says:

How come I haven't had one of those yet?
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

chotda says:

mmm. deep-fried bacon.

din--we have deep-fried mars bars in the mainland us and here in guam. but i have yet to see deep-fried pizza!

doc--dunno, but all you need is one.

chotda says:

adihle99, ha! no, amazingly not. apparently the whole deep-fried cheeseburger originated at the arizona county state fair. apparently AZ's fair is like, the vanguard of All Things Fried--if no one's thought of frying it, they have or they will, and the rest will wallow :P

alexander, i had no idea!

MMM.... wonder if the oil saturated into it.. was it so greasy when you bit into it? Or just like a crusty coating of egg and bread crumbs?

chotda says:

nozikins, it wasn't that greasy, it was just a crusty coating like you said.

2) I am living, I would just die if I ate that.

plus I can't have cheeseburgers anymore, because I'm allergic to milk. thanks for rubbing it in my face, jerk. *tear*

haha, just kidding =)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

chotda says:

apologies, madame. although, is cheese really the biggest problem in this dish? ;)

ah, i'm just a jerk with low cholesterol. but then again, i don't eat these on a regular basis. or, actually, ever, since this one.
