Holy crap you guys, I’m in Japan! I figured I wouldn’t have the time or ability to post anything from Japan, so I made a few little drawings to tide you over til I get back. I thought it would be such a cute idea to draw the weirdest things I’ve ever eaten, but as you’ll see over the next few days, they’re not really that weird. I pride myself on having a pretty adventurous palate, but maybe I’m not that adventurous after all? Or maybe these things just don’t seem that adventurous to me anymore? Who knows.
Anyway, #5! Right here in Chicago, at the Bad Apple, you can get this decadently rich burger. Peanut butter on a burger may seem pretty counterintuitive, but it definitely works in this context. Not something I’d eat every day, but delicious for a once-in-a-while kind of thing.
One of my aunts puts peanut butter and bacon on bagels. It is surprisingly good. I don’t think I could handle peanut butter on a burger, though. It’d take a lot of beer to wash that down.
OMG I didn’t know anyone else did this!! When my mom was a kid, they used to have these crazy cookouts where they would compete for who could put the most toppings on a burger, and my grandfather put peanut butter on his. It’s always stuck in my mind because it struck me as so odd- peanut butter with meat?? Of course, recently I realized that I sort of eat peanut butter with meat and/or egg all the time in pad thai…
