A peanut butter and bacon cheeseburger?

[Bunny]

In the car today, the morning show guys were talking about this. I guess it's a cheeseburger that has peanut butter smeared on it, then dotted with bacon bits. Supposedly, it's delicious.

I'm thinking of barfing, frankly. It reminds me of Fat Elvis and his fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. They did say that if someone brought this to Pittsburgh and sold it, they'd make a fortune, and that is so true - we do like our fatty stuff here!

1. Exactly what I thought...of Elvis

That thing sounds nauseating, actually. I can feel my arteries hardening just reading about it.

[Throd]

2. I used to eat peanut butter, bacon and green onion sandwiches

But I also used to smoke a LOT of pot.

[Left Is Write]

I like peanut butter and bacon. I like cheeseburgers with bacon.

I do not think I would like ALL THREE together.

(Of course, I haven't eaten peanut butter and bacon in probably 20 years, and I rarely have a bacon cheeseburger either. Unfortunately, I will probably crave one now.)

3. Hershey bar on a saltine cracker

try it

[Left Is Write]

4. Try this...

Small candy bar or a few chocolate chips on a saltine or a Ritz. Drizzle with caramel ice cream topping.

Not, you know, that I've ever tried that myself.

[Bunny]

5. Mustard on vanilla ice cream.

A guy at work told me about this a few years ago. He swears it's delicious. I never knew if he was pulling my leg or not!

[Dan-W]

35. As someone who used to like black jelly beans with beer,

I will try the mustard/vanilla concoction you mentioned and get back to you.

[Bunny]

37. Please do. I am very curious.

And you are very brave!

[Dan-W]

45. Two distinct flavors that do not meld.

Ok, I'm back... I tried French's yellow mustard with the vanilla ice cream. Bland. Maybe I'll try it with French vanilla and Grey Poupon... what do you think, Cherie?

[Bunny]

46. Godspeed.

:scared:

6. This is served in parts of MO

at least around Kansas City. I once visited the area and noticed it on the menu. Apparently it is a local thing it's not as disgusting as it sounds (at least in terms of taste, it's pretty horrific in health terms I guess :) ) but not something I would care to have again.

There is a name for it but it escapes me at the moment.

I'm not sure about the bacon either, I think that was an option or variation within the local area.

8. Goober Burger.

Sedalia, MO's Wheel-In Drive In is famous for them. Quite a few of the travelling food shows have stopped there to try them.

And the peanut butter is usually mixed w/ mayo.

[YankeyMCC]

12. That's it! :)

[xmas74]

19. They also filmed a porno at Wheel-Inn.

I wonder if the peanut butter was really mixed w/ just mayo that day?

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Is that place still open?

[xmas74]

33. Sure is.

It's right at the intersection of 50 hwy and 65 hwy in Sedalia. If you are coming in off of 50 from KC it will be on your left hand side. If you take I-70 over to 65 hwy SB it will be on your right hand side.

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. Last time I drove by there - last April - it looked closed.

[xmas74]

40. They do sometimes close down in the offseason.

An old high school friend's family ran the place and they had a death in the family around that time. I think they closed for a while then.

Found an update online about Wheel-Inn that was added by a cycler (riding the Katy Trail) who stated that he ate a Goober Burger there in Sept of 2005. Also found out that they now vary their hours-there are no set hours of operation.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Not in KC anymore

You have to go to Sedalia to get one. If that place is still open - I heard not long ago that it had closed.

[xmas74]

34. I don't think it closed-

it's a landmark in Sedalia. I think a family member died recently and that they were also talking about closing during winter hours.

Seems like there was an ad in the paper just a couple of months ago for a cook for Wheel-In. I've heard that Eddie's on 50 hwy (near Woods Grocery and Smith-Cotton HS) will also make a Goober Burger for you. And they make steakburgers there.

Goody's here in Wsbg has also made them on request.

7. That sounds good. Kind of like the peanut butter on a BLT, but with...

lots of beef too!

[xmas74]

9. Mix the peanut butter w/ mayo.

That's how they do it around here. People travel for miles (sometimes states) for one of our Goober Burgers.

[JVS]

15. No thanks, I think mayo is an abomination

[xmas74]

18. That's the way they make them.

[SeattleGirl]

10. My husband loves those things

Poor guy needs help.... :rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. I suppose it would be like peanut sauce.

It sounds disgusting, but it might taste okay.

[wildhorses]

13. why don't they just inject cholesterol directly into their veins?

[Aristus]

14. Red Robin has a peanut butter burger that sounds a lot like that.

I tried it once, and it wasn't too bad. It's only 'Elvis' if you eat it, you know, every DAY! Once in a while won't be too bad for you.

[SoCalDem]

16. Poor Fat Elvis.. he gets no respect anymore

[Nutmegger]

17. Um, that sounds...

:puke:!!!

Hey, whatever turns a person on!

[tigereye]

20. no thanks

I remember how stunned I was at a restaurant near Erie that served french fries with both melted cheese AND bacon on them!

[Bunny]

21. How you doing, tigereye!

:hi:

Fries with cheese - okay. Cheese and bacon - no!

[tigereye]

27. I keep getting the flu!

this is my second round of it. I don't usually get it more than once in a winter.


I hope to feel better soon! :(

how are ya, Bunny?

[Bunny]

32. The flu again? Hmmm. Maybe you should drink more!

:beer:

I'm doing pretty well, myself. :)

[RumpusCat]

22. I ate a peanut butter BLT today

It was delicious! :9

There's a peanut butter sandwich restaurant here that sells that and the Elvis: peanut butter, bananas, honey and bacon on toasted white bread. http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Um, ew.

:puke:

[tuvor]

26. Squirrel PB in Canada created some unholy alliances.

Including PB/bacon.

[auntAgonist]

28. I remember that!!

didn't they also do PB and jelly mixed in in swirls?


egads . memories.

[auntAgonist]

29. one of my favourites is

Peanut Butter , lettuce and Mayo !! delicious.

[Richardo]

30. As long as the fries are ON the sandwich...

Not really.

I don't really like peanut butter even by itself. Maybe on the occasional celery stick.

[Bunny]

31. But, always remember, the fries can only be on the sandwich

when they're accompanied by coleslaw. No coleslaw, no fries. We're pretty strict about that stuff around here!

[Dukkha]

36. Every thing's better with bacon on it

Bacon that sausage!

personally I love Peanut Butter and Cheddar Cheese! it's damn good!

[Nikia]

38. I really like peanut butter and banana sandwiches

I don't know what Elvis did with his sandwiches. I just smear peanut butter on bread and then cut up a banana in small slices. I don't see it as too much different than peanut butter and jelly, except that it is whole fresh fruit of a different type. I eat this most mornings now for breakfast.
I don't know about peanut butter with bacon and/or hamburger. It doesn't really sound good.

[u4ic]

42. I used to have it as a kid

peanut butter and banana sandwiches. :hi:

Peanut butter and bacon, though... :puke: :puke: :puke:

[DawgHouse]

41. I've had pb and bacon but not the cheeseburger!

[johnnie]

43. Fat Elvis?

:mad:


:hi:

[mykpart]

44. PB & bacon is good,

PB on hamburger meat is good. So if you just leave out the cheese, it doesn't sound too bad, but would depend on what "fixins" you put on it. (Pickles and mustard would definitely be out.)
