Cruise line serves more than 4,000 burgers during a weeklong
cruise
SEATTLE, May 25, 2017 /CNW/ -- Sunday, May 28, 2017, is National Burger Day, and
Holland America Line is paying homage to the American classic that
has elevated itself to worldwide admiration. Pleasing the palates
of meat-eaters and vegetarians, alike, not only does the cruise
line feature gourmet and veggie burgers at Dive-In at the Terrace
Grill, but also patties can be found on the menus at Pinnacle Grill
and The Dining Room, as well as in a featured demonstration in
America's Test Kitchen.
With 20 unique hamburger options onboard, including vegetarian
portobello and black bean "burgers," Holland America Line's
selections take guests on an epicurean adventure where creating the
perfect burger goes beyond cheese, pickles and ketchup. With four
styles at Dive-In, a signature burger at Pinnacle Grill and an
astounding 14 rotating selections on The Main Dining Room lunch
menu, burger connoisseurs on a weeklong cruise can enjoy a
different burger every day of the voyage. In fact, Holland America
Line serves more than 4,000 burgers on a seven-day cruise!
"When people think of culinary innovation, they often think of
fine dining, but you can also be creative with a classic such as a
burger to make it unique and gourmet like our Dive-In burgers,"
said Orlando Ashford, president of
Holland America Line. "National Burger Day is the perfect day to
tout the fact that we feature 20 different burgers that are
the best at sea."
Specialty Burgers Make Dive-In a Guest
Favorite
Dive-In out by the Lido Pool offers a menu of
signature, made-to-order beef burgers that all are served with
Holland America Line's secret Dive-In Sauce. Four featured burgers
are available at Dive-In:
- Cannonball: The most popular. Served with Gouda cheese,
applewood smoked bacon, sweet caramelized onions, topped with
chop-chop lettuce and sliced tomato on a toasted brioche bun.
- High-Dive: American cheddar cheese, topped with
chop-chop lettuce and sliced tomato on a toasted brioche bun.
- Gainer: Served with a mound of crispy, frizzled onions,
topped with chop-chop lettuce and sliced tomato on a toasted
brioche bun.
- Freestyle: It's not beef, but it's the perfect
vegetarian "burger" — a grilled portobella mushroom topped with
cheddar and Gouda cheese, chop-chop lettuce, avocado, and sliced
tomato on a toasted whole wheat bun.
Fourteen Burgers Highlight the Lunch Menu in The Dining
Room
For lunch in The Dining Room, Holland America Line
serves a cycle of 14 different burgers, featuring one a day. A

aioli, Beecher's cheddar cheese, Cabernet red onions and
avocado.
America's Test Kitchen Black Bean
Burger
Through Holland America Line's collaboration with
America's Test Kitchen, guests can attend shipboard cooking shows
produced in partnership with the long-running public television
program. A featured recipe is a Black Bean Burger with Chipotle
Mayonnaise. America's Test Kitchen has perfected the art of making
the perfect vegetarian burger, and guests learn how to make the
dish in the ship's show kitchen from Holland America Line chefs
trained by America's Test Kitchen culinary experts.
Not to worry … guests who aren't burger fans have hundreds of
other options to choose from on Holland America Line's menus, from
