Offering foodies an ultimate combination of classic comfort foods is eatery The Blues Kitchen and Pizza Pilgrims that have come together to collaborate on a series of pizza burgers. The gourmet sandwich features elements of a cheesy pizza, stacked beef patty, macaroni and cheese and the classic Italian arancini ball to create a dish that is cheesy, meaty and of gastronome proportions.
Pizzas and burgers are often two meals that each in their own right receive sophisticated culinary food makeovers, but bringing them together is a true mark of hybrid foodie culture. The Pilgrim Burger is an ode to both dishes with a parmesan bun topped with buffalo mozzarella, basil, ketchup, angus and shorthorn steak beef patty and a mac 'n' cheese deep fried arancini.
