I took a chance at Mamo Burger for #FoodPornFriday

Last time we went to Mamo Burger Bar I decided to take a chance.

There are two burgers there I absolutely love. The first is the Wakin' & Bacon, which has Cheddar, House Bacon, Fried Egg & and this totally amazing stuff they call Bacon Jam. The second is The Daddy Mac with House Made Mac & Cheese, Smoked Pulled Pork & Caramelized Onions. Normally every time we go to Mamo I swap up between these two amazing burgers. One trip I have the Daddy Mac, the next a Wakin' & Bacon. Last time though, I wanted to try something different.

Why do I say I took a chance? Well because I ordered a burger with stuff on it I don't like. Not just one thing either. What I ordered this time was The Itallian Job. It has Fried Salami, Prosciutto, Mozzarella, Basil Mayo, Pickled Red Onion and Vine Ripened Tomatoes. It's those last two ingredients that make me cringe. I don't like red onions or anything pickeled, and to me tomato is great cooked in things but not raw. You know what though? This was amazing!

Ordering stuff I don't normally like when it's combined with stuff I do is something I've slowly learned to do. I think the first lesson came from finding out I love sushi. Sushi is odd, if you take all the individual bits, separately, it sounds disgusting to me. It's stuff I wouldn't eat if you paid me. But put it all together, and POW! it just works and works so well. This burger is like Sushi. The individual bits don't sound so great to me but man were they great together.

It's #FoodPornFriday and you should join in the fun. Link up with us and share your most desirable food of week. For the weak of heart you can use #FoodPicFriday if you prefer. I won't laugh, in public.
