Those are burgers, not sandwiches. Thanks.

Also pepper jack cheese is not even remotely close to Cajun cuisine.

There are non-burgers there so collectively they are sandwiches

From a culinary perspective, they are burgers.

Big John's Cajun

Big John's Cajun, named after the local chef John Dearmin, is a cheddar-style, cheese made with pasteurized Jersey milk. It is produced by Beehive Cheese Company in Utah, United States. Canola oil is applied on a one day old cheese, then a mixture of Cajun meat with cayenne pepper is hand-rubbed and then allowed to mature in humidity controlled facility. Fully aged cheese is spicy in flavour and rich, smooth, creamy in texture. It pairs well with full-bodied red wines, champagne, or a fruity wheat beer. It can be shaved on salad or melted over a burger.

The cheese has won several awards including 2nd place at the 2009 American Cheese Society in 2009, 3rd place at the 2011 and 2012 American Cheese Society in 2011, 2012.

What is "Cajun meat", Syntax?

Anonymous F replied with this 9 years ago, 8 minutes later, 6 hours after the original post[^] [v] #783,176

@previous (B)
Syntax might try and explain that with lots of word salad accentuated with spelling errors.
I however can only refer you to this link.

If I wanted a great taste of America I would fry some bread in half a lb of butter, add some deep fat fried bacon and eggs and pour half a jar of mayonnaise on it.

Incorrect. From a culinary perspective, any "sandwich" or "burger" that contains fish is, in fact, properly classified as a fishcake. Thanks.

No such dish exists. You have been lied to.

Externally hosted imageOkay so I bought the large New York stacker meal, it cost £4.80 and came with fries, drink and burger.

The burger itself wasn't great. The beef patties were dry like they always are, the bacon was very rubbery and the coleslaw was limp. Thankfully the ketchup and American mustard gave it some much-needed flavour. It looked tidy in the box but on closer inspection it was haphazardly put together and I had to rebuild it on the table.

The fries were alright, and the cashier who served me looked like a 1970s sports commentator which I liked.

2/5, good service but poor quality food. Next time I'll stay home and make my own.

Why does she sound so gleeful about a major employment industry about to undergo automation and making the workers have to "sleep on the street"?

I viewed that video without sound. Only looked for one of many links of the Robot making a burger that you do not have to re-assemble.

Assembly of course assumes the burger is fully cooked. Found this and again I did not listen to audio

I think I might try to recreate this burger at home with proper ingredients because it should be pretty nice.
