Steamed Cheeseburger (en.wikipedia.org)

Finally a burger without that French “maillard reaction”

I grew up in CT. In sandy hook no less. Interesting town, home of scrabble, Katlin/Bruce Jenners HS, and the woodchipper murder that inspired Fargo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Helle_Crafts

Connecticut has some interesting food traditions: A peculiar style of hotdog in one part of the state that gets little attention. (All beef dog fried in bacon fat, bun tossed in bacon fat, served with bacon bits in the bottom of the bun, kraut, onion, mustard relish). Some rather great pizza. New Haven pizza might be one of the few reasons to go there. Better than NYC according to some, you can debate but what did Frank Sinatra really know. And the steamed cheese burger.

Principal Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouth-watering hamburgers. Superintendent Chalmers: I thought we were having steamed clams. Principal Skinner: Oh, no, I said, "steamed hams." That's what I call hamburgers. Superintendent Chalmers: You call hamburgers steamed hams. Principal Skinner: Yes, it's a regional dialect. Superintendent Chalmers: Uh-huh. What region? Principal Skinner: Uh, upstate New York. Superintendent Chalmers: Really. Well, I'm from Utica and I never heard anyone use the phrase, "steamed hams." Principal Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no; it's an Albany expression. Superintendent Chalmers: I see.
