I haven't been back home in Honolulu in almost a decade, it's very sad but it's also very true. Normally when I do go home, I limit my burger intake to W&M in Kaimuki, Zippy's, or a hamburger steak plate lunch @ Tsukenjo. But I was made aware of a restaurant called Burgers On The Edge and the menu looks very good.
They recently held a "Burger Genius" contest where people could enter and create their own burger dishes. According to the website, the idea was to see "who in Hawaii can create the most original and delicious burger using the 8 cheeses, 12 sauces, and 18 toppings from the current menu or think outside the burger wrapper by submitting a recipe for their masterpiece."
What was of interest to me was something called the "Bento Burger" made by Doris Gilbert. What consists of a Bento Burger? Here are the ingredaments (HA!):
Burger Name: Bento Burger
Beef: Ground Chuck
Cheese: Swiss
Sauce: Teriyaki
Toppings: Fried egg, Spam, Manoa lettuce
Mmm, mmm, mmm. The seven other finalists made burgers that, at least in text form, sound amazing.
The Burger Genius presentation will be shown on KHON in Honolulu on Wednesday, June 24 at 9:00pm, and the winners will be announced on July 4th, marking the 1st anniversary of Burgers On The Edge. If they post a video of the show or if it is posted elsewhere, I will have it here on Book's Foodie
