Cheeseburger for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Cheeseburger for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The bold and smoky profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced maple syrup used that way before.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. I explained the a New England seafood shack context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. craft IPA was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
