If it is I'm good for the rest of my life.  Set down a cheeseburger in front of me and watch me smile!

Unfortunately I missed this one yesterday. It was National Cheeseburger Day. I've had some great cheeseburgers in my day. In and Out is one of my favorite national chains. Regionally, I always enjoyed one from Winsteads in Kansas City. Locally, I've got a few different favorites.  

One spot that you probably wouldn't think of when it comes to cheeseburgers is LeMaires. Try their blackened cheeseburger...mmmm. For something a little extra, I always enjoy sitting down to a Bacon Cheeseburger at North 65 Cafe and at Dickie Doo BBQ. I always enjoy the local national chain burgers, too. I could list them all but we'd be here forever and a day.

According to a National Cheeseburger Day ranking, two-thirds of Americans enjoy American cheese on their cheeseburgers. Shown below is the top five rankings (based on the percentage of Americans who "like" or "love" each cheese variety on a cheeseburger):

1. American Cheese: 66%
2. Cheddar: 65%
3. Swiss: 43%
4. Pepper Jack: 40%
5. Provolone: 31%

Whether it's a cheeseburger in paradise (I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draught beer, Well, good God Almighty which way do I steer...thank you Jimmy Buffet!) or something different, make up for missing yesterday's celebration with your favorite cheeseburger today!
