Pairing Cheeseburger correctly — a note on sweet iced tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Cheeseburger. I ordered it with sweet iced tea and the bold and smoky elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. maple syrup in particular became more prominent in a good way.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. The a Fourth of July cookout is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Cheeseburger with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
