From the Mailbag: Does this Count as a Cheeseburger?
Having just arrived back from a trip to New Zealand I can tell you that the Kiwis believe anything can be a burger - fish burger, chicken burger, tofu burger, etc. If it can be put in a round bun it is a burger.
I'm not sure I am completely comfortable with this but I am willing to respect cultural differences.

Deep-Fried Cheeseburger
This looks scrumptious!!!

Without the cheese, my local chip shop in Britain has been making deep fried burgers for the last 30 years plus. It's not a Scottish thing, it's a 'chippy' thing to go alongside the heart attack in batter of a Spam fritter!!

I realize the posts happened over 9 months ago, but I wanted to reply and clear something. For you information Starvin Marvin, Hackney's has never deep fried their burgers. They have always been pan fried or by request, broiled. They still to me are the best burgers in the area,and to say the nation!

Lauren,
Being a local in Hawaii, but definitely not a "Hawaiian", I have to tell you that the best loco mocos are indeed those made with a hamburger patty (rather than chicken, fish, Spam or even kalua pig). Perched atop a mound of rice, topped with an egg that's cooked either sunnyside up or over easy, and smothered with gravy (canned or bottled, no less), the hamburger patty is what ties it all together.
No, I wouldn't consider it a burger, but it sure is satisfying!

If it doesn't look like a burger, taste like burger, or smell like a burger....then it's not a burger. No fudging allowed. Mahallo, TB.

Hmm. I think you need a bun. Even then, I'm willing to bend a bit and allow toast (à la Louis' Lunch), English muffins—or even pita bread. But I think the key is that a bread product sandwiches the patty and you're able to eat it with your hands. This would not qualify in my book.

No, you need a bun.

@seyo: Then it is definitely not a cheeseburger!

Correct, there is no cheese on a Loco Moco, at least not on the ones my roomie made.

@launate: I was under the impression there was cheese as well as egg. Maybe not?

That ain't cheese, it's a fried egg. Definitely not a burger, but good eats nonetheless.

Speaking of Hawaii, the absolute best, /best/ incarnation of a cheeseburger that I have ever had was found in Lahaina on my recent visit. Mala ocean tavern makes a Kobe beef cheeseburger, with your choice of blue or cheddar, carmelized Maui onions, smoked bacon, etc etc etc. If burgers tasted like that all the time, I would definitely be an addict.. *drool*

I just feel ribeye is the best flavor for the dollar all around--although it's hard for me to pass up a good delmonico/n.y. strip
