Blue Cheese Burgers with Double American Cheese in a Hotel Kitchen
On the road in Naples, Florida, in a hotel suite with a real kitchen, I bought a heavy ribbed cast iron pan and made the simplest burger I know. Ready beef patties mixed with blue cheese crumbles, a slice of American cheese on both sides, toasted sesame buns.

From the video
Heat the pan with a little light olive oil, lower the heat and fry all four patties at once. Toast the buns in a second pan. Build it like this: mayo on the bottom bun, pickles, sweet relish, a lot of banana peppers, cheese, the patty, more cheese, then mayo, ketchup and a few drops of hot sauce on the top bun. No onion, tomato or lettuce this time, and it still works.
