The one on the right VAGUELY looks like a take on cioppino - maybe with all of the seafood that can be in either dish they figured "meh?".You can be sure if I ever return to the States I would eat a burger before what they call a paella there. I'm not a paella zealot (like a lot of Spaniards are) but I've seen truly horrendous things labeled as "paella". And the only asset I've seen for paella looks so wrong I don't know what one is it.

Saffron is too expensive to do a paella justice here, though I had a couple of decent ones at a tapas place near Rice University - they also did this curried monkfish to die for. Since the saffron thing is out of the question, I do the "Acadian" version of paella: jambalaya. I know they aren't the same, but they share a similar concept and can both be very good when done properly.
Haven't seen the fries done here (Texas, or anywhere I've traveled around the States - sounds CanadianIn a "American Style" burger joint I was served a "special" burger with the fries INSIDE it. Not that it wasn't tasty, but it made the whole affair unbalanced in taste.
Yes, and soon you will see the "studendts " "take in MC's hammer"![]()

My daughter likes to put fries in her burger. I like ones that put an onion ring in it. Of course I like mayo on it, but that seems something that others don't like. I think it was a complaint in a movie, some Americans in Montreal complaining about mayo in their hamburger (The Whole Nine Yards I think).
Onion rings on a burger is a favorite and you can get them that way around here (SE Texas) at most places. I'm also a mustard (and ketchup) guy on a basic burger (or cheeseburger, or bacon cheeseburger, with or without onion rings and jalepeno slices), and will do other things on other kinds of burgers, but have never been a mayo fan, though it is a default at lots of places in the US.Don't know if any holidays in August in the U.S., there is one in Ontario, Canada (and some of the other provinces).
And as for a "cook out" time, I used to throw a big pool/patio party each year on Labor Day Weekend (the "official unofficial end of Summer"). Labor Day in the US is the first Monday of September, so the last weekend can be the last couple days of August, or the first few days of September.
