So when Ashley and I were in Sedalia, Missouri there was a restaurant in their town called Wheel-Inn Drive In. We didn't get a chance to try it out, but we heard from the locals that they make a special burger called the Guber (or "Goober") Burger.
The special ingredient in these burgers? PEANUT BUTTER!
On first impression, it sounds disgusting. I agree, because that's the first thing I thought when I first heard about it. But if I can stand to, I like to try every weird thing I hear about. Last night, I got online and searched for a few recipes. Here is what you're looking at:
- Burger (make your own, or use a pre-packaged frozen one. No diff)
- peanut butter
- buns
Pretty simple. I also read another recipe that insisted that you put mayonnaise on the top bun and a slice of cheese on top of the peanut butter. My understanding is that the actual restaurant, Wheel-Inn Drive Inn, makes their guber burger both ways. Sometimes even with lettuce and tomato.
To my surprise... it's actually freaking awesome! I can't even really describe it, other than to say that it's definitely worth trying. You'd be surprised how well the peanut butter and beef actually mix.
Give it a try. Here is a picture I found on the internet of an actual (plain) guber burger!
