Bridge BBQ
So this past week we have been hosting some Japanese people for a program called Bridge. Bridge was started some 20 years ago as a way to create a bridge between Japan and Hawaii with the intent of bringing Japanese leaders here to teach them MiniChurch, church planting and church leadership. The program stopped for awhile so this was our first attempt in over 10 years. This year’s program brought in 4 people from Kansai and Tokyo and to celebrate the end of the program we had a BBQ.
Now I’m a big fan of this program on the Travel Channel called Man vs. Food. There was one episode in which they went to Minneapolis and tried a burger called the Jucy Lucy (or Juicy Lucy). Basically it’s two beef patties with cheese in the middle. So instead of the boring run-of-the-mill cheeseburger with the cheese on top, this one has a nice layer of gooey melted cheese on the inside. When you first bite into it your mouth behold the power of cheese.
Sounds easy right? We decided to see if we could recreate this famous burger.
Here’s Abby crimping the burgers together
Can you see the cheese bursting through on the right?
Finally, the finished product
