To continue our series on Oaxacan street food, we turn to the hamburger:

The Oaxacan version is probably a little different than what you're used to at home. For one thing, hamburgers here always come with a thin slice of jamón, which isn't literally "ham" but more like "luncheon meat". Along with the usual condiments like lettuce, mustard and ketchup, you get slices of jalapeño pepper. A common variation is the Hawaiana which, like the Hawaiian pizza, comes with pineapple. They usually come with cheese, like a nice slice of manchego.

There are hamburger carts everywhere, especially later in the evening. This picture was taken at our personal favorite: the Hamburguesas al Carbón stand on Avenida Universidad, near the Plaza del Valle shopping center. There is a bit controversy as to whether the other, identical-looking stands around town with the same name are locations of the same "chain" or, merely impostors of the original.

In any case, wherever you try an authentic Oaxacan hamburger, you'll be glad you didn't go to McDonald's or Burger King!

A while back, we tried something different as far as advertising. We sponsored "Jordan, Jesse, GO!", a comedy podcast.
