A generous helping of tangy Maytag blue cheese and stringy grilled onions mingle atop a no-pink, jagged-edged patty sandwiched between a classic Kaiser roll. A perfectly square slice of Monterey Jack cheese attempts to keep the Maytag and onions in order, to no avail, as gloppy blue cheese oozes out with every bite. Thank goodness the burger comes with crinkle-cut fries to mop up the excess. Not a drop need be wasted. The onions, grilled to a sweet perfection, tame the pungent blue cheese as the flavors mix in your mouth. The result is a cheese lover’s delight.
