BURGER
Cheeseburger
The addition of cheese transforms a burger... into a cheeseburger. But all joking aside, it just makes sense to add a layer of cheese to your burger, whether it's blue cheese or cheddar, you can't go wrong. Try this recipe for the ultimate cheeseburger, which calls for umami-packed Parmesan cheese.
Wild salmon burger
Of all fish, salmon makes probably the best fish patty for a burger. The main thing to consider is the source of your salmon and in general, farmed salmon should be avoided, so if you can, get your hands on wild salmon and grind it down for a salmon burger. The addition of dill, capers, mayo and ginger takes this burger the highest level.
Elk burger
Lean, delicious and free-range, what's not to like? Elk meat, recently rising in popularity because of a certain bow-hunting podcast celebrity, is something Canadians and Scandinavians have been eating for millennia. It makes a mean burger too.
PIZZA
Sicilian Pizza
Sicilian pizza is another famous pizza style that often gets overlooked by pizza novices. This Sicilian-American dish comes from a Sicilian food called sfinciuni, a focaccia-style bread topped with tomato sauce, onions and sometimes anchovies.
Margherita Pizza
Margherita pizza, or pizza Margherita in Italian, is a famous pizza style from Naples, Italy. While a Neapolitan pizza has a special crust and basic toppings, Margherita pizza has a specific topping combination that appears frequently on Italian pizza menus.
Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza
Chicago-style pizza, or deep-dish pizza, is the classic counterpart to New York pizza. It’s not entirely certain who invented the deep-dish pizza — it may have been produced by Pizzeria Uno in the 1940s, or possibly by other pizzerias as early as the 1920s.
Neapolitan Pizza
Begin your pizza education with the pie that started it all: the Neapolitan. Modern pizza originated in Naples, Italy, where working-class Neapolitans frequently ate flatbread for lunch. People in Italy and throughout the world still make this famous pizza today.
New York Style Pizza
When most Americans think of famous pizza, they imagine New York style pizza. Developed by Italian immigrants in New York during the 20th century, the New York style pizza is in close dialogue with its Neapolitan origins.
