In the US, tomorrow is the Fourth of July holiday. In fact, many Americans take Friday off as well and make it a four-day weekend.
Tomorrow I am going to cook racks of ribs in the grill. But tonight I made "Humdingers."
There was a wonderful hamburger stand in downtown Los Angeles, originally on Wilshire Blvd at Bixel, near Woodbury University. It was called Pete's Grandburger and it opened in 1949. The place was packed at lunchtime. After they lost their lease, they moved up to 6th Street, across from the Good Samaritan Hospital.
The Grandburger was a double decker cheeseburger. But my personal favorite was the Humdinger. It was a cheeseburger topped with a sliced hot dog. Two awesome, evil pleasures in one meal.
Mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Oh, and chili! Mmm, mmm, good.
