~Jimmy Buffett<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just what is a cheeseburger in paradise?\u00a0 In his top 40 song Cheeseburger in Paradise<\/em>, Jimmy Buffett seems to infer that a cheeseburger in paradise can be any cheeseburger you consume after depriving yourself, or as he put it, “after trying to amend your carnivorous habits<\/em>.”\u00a0 There’s much truth in this.\u00a0 Every dieter with whom I’ve spoken admits that what they dream about most after any period of deliciousness deprivation are cheeseburgers.\u00a0 Cheeseburgers are, after all, America’s most popular, arguably most delicious, fast food offering. <\/span><\/p>\n

In Buffett’s case, the cheeseburger in paradise was inspired by a boating excursion on the azure waters of the Caribbean.\u00a0 While sustaining himself on peanut butter and canned foods, he fantasized about devouring a “piping hot cheeseburger.”\u00a0 His fantasy cam true…sort of, when he landed in the British Virgin Islands where he found a restaurant offering American cheeseburgers.\u00a0 Despite the specificity of his instructions to the waiter on how he wanted the burgers prepared, what he got was an overdone beef patty on a burned, toasted bun.\u00a0 No matter. To Buffett, this was a cheeseburger in paradise.\u00a0 It fulfilled his fantasy and “tasted like manna from heaven<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Buffett likes his cheeseburgers “with lettuce and tomato, Heinz Fifty-Seven and French-fried potatoes<\/em>.”\u00a0 For New Mexicans, there is nothing as thoroughly soul-satisfying and utterly delicious as our ubiquitous green chile cheeseburger. \u00a0We have a fierce pride in that most simplistic, but explosive, flavor-blessed union of a thick, juicy beef patty grilled over an open flame or sizzled on a griddle then blanketed in cheese and topped with taste bud awakening, tongue tingling, olfactory arousing green chile.\u00a0 To New Mexicans, it isn’t a cheeseburger in paradise without green chile.

The Squeeze Burger with Cheese: The famous 1\/3 lb. 100% Beef Burger with all the fixins. Mayo, Mustard, Tomato, Lettuce, Pickles, Onions on a Sesame Seed Bun With a “Skirt” of Cheese (1\/3 pound of cheese)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Americans have been adding cheese to their burgers since the mid-1920s though, as with the hamburger itself, culinary historians can’t seem to agree as to when the molten marriage of cheese and beef patty first happened.\u00a0 Most credit Lionel Sternberger with having “invented” the cheeseburger while working as a fry cook at his father’s Pasadena, California sandwich shop.\u00a0 Legend has it that Sternberger experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger.\u00a0 The rest, as the proverbial “they” say, is history.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the “inventor” of the cheeseburger is much in dispute, there is absolutely no disputing its impact on the American culture.\u00a0 Wall Street Journal<\/em> writer Raymond Sokolove called the cheeseburger “America’s contribution to world cuisine<\/em>.\u00a0 Does it stand to reason, therefore, that the more cheese you add to a cheeseburger, the better and more delicious the end-product will be?\u00a0 The Squeeze Inn in the Sacramento, California area seems to think so.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many people in the Sacramento area, the Squeeze Inn offers the<\/em> cheeseburger in paradise.\u00a0 That’s been validated in their having voted it the “best burger” winner from 2007 through 2010.\u00a0 The original Squeeze Inn, a Lilliputian burger joint has also been voted “best dive” in Sacramento five years running.\u00a0 It’s called the Squeeze Inn because of the original restaurant’s size; you literally got squeezed in to get your food.\u00a0 The original was so small –only twelve bars tools–that customers would line up literally around the block to get in its doors then wait for hours to eat.\u00a0 It would have to be a cheeseburger in paradise to inspire such loyalty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2009, Sacramento area resident and Food Network luminary Guy Fieri introduced The Squeeze Inn to the rest of the world on his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives<\/a> program.\u00a0 The effusive Fieri also included the burger on the second book he wrote about his “Triple D” program.\u00a0 In an episode of the Jay Leno Show, the host asked Fieri who serves the best hamburger in America.\u00a0 Without hesitation, Fieri mentioned the Squeeze Inn in Sacramento. <\/span><\/p>\n

What makes the Squeeze Inn’s “squeeze with cheese burger” unique and famous is the way it’s prepared.\u00a0 It starts with a third-pound of 100-percent beef topped with mayo, mustard, tomato lettuce, pickles, cheese and onions served on a sesame seed bun, pretty traditional stuff.\u00a0 A crispy “cheese skirt” is created after the beef patty is cooked on a flat top grill.\u00a0 The skirt is created when an entire third-pound of cheese and the top bun are placed atop the patty.\u00a0 The cook then throws a handful of ice chips on the flat top and covers the burger with a “hood” to create a steamy effect.\u00a0 The result is a rectangular, crispy cheese skirt which extends about an inch beyond the burger on all sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s one-third pound of beef and one-third pound of cheese plus high-quality, fresh ingredients.\u00a0 What’s not to like?\u00a0 As Fieri might say, “it’s a California thing.”\u00a0 While I found the burger interesting and unique, it wasn’t necessarily memorable by virtue of its flavor profile alone.\u00a0 Though I cherish cheese, the fried cheese skirt itself can be a bit off-putting–both texturally and in terms of flavor.\u00a0 Sure, it’s crispy and maybe by itself would be a nice snack, but it makes the burger difficult to eat (the cheese becomes a bit “rubbery”) and actually detracts from the flavor of the beef.\u00a0 This is one marriage of beef and cheese I didn’t like much, but there are thousands of Sacramento area residents who say otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Squeeze Inn prepares everything to order and to your exacting specifications.\u00a0 In addition to their famous “squeeze with cheese,” the restaurant serves other menu items including tacos, hot dogs, sandwiches and more.\u00a0 Even a vegetarian burger is available for non-carnivores. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Squeeze Inn is certainly not everybody’s version of a cheeseburger in paradise, but from an experiential point of view, it’s one of those legendary restaurants you’ve got to try just to say you’ve\u00a0 been there and done that<\/span>.\u00a0 You may even like it more than I did….and who knows, had the squeeze with cheese had some New Mexico green chile, it might have been closer to being a cheeseburger in paradise for me, too.
