There's something about pineapple and meat that really works well. The pineapple imparts a sweetness and a tartness that complements meat, and it also adds enzymes that help to digest meat. In Mexico it's often used with tacos al pastor, which is shaved pork meat from a spit, but this Hawaiian style burger is 100% fresh Angus beef, never frozen, and I had my patty cooked medium rare, which left it nice and juicy. My burger patty came with a ring of grilled pineapple, grilled onion, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, cilantro aioly, and balsamic glaze. In this burger, the pineapple was the star of the show, as it's supposed to be. This place has won awards for its burgers, and their Aloha Burger wins a place in my noteworthy food blog. I ate outside, of course, because that's all you can do now, even though the evening temperature was over a 100°F. As you can see, I chose a refreshing salad as my side.
