Saw this on Food Network and had to try it. Giada calls it a "gourmet diner burger," but I see nothing diner about it, it's really an Italian spin on burger and fries.
It's the rest of my home-ground brisket blend burger with pickled zucchini, tomatoes, roasted garlic and oregano mayo, topped with a crispy Parmesan "frico"- basically a Parmesan wafer, all on a ciabatta bun. All homemade but the bread. The picture is before I mashed it all down and got sloppy with it. That's a full size plate, by the way, and a 1/3 lb burger.
It's served here with crispy breaded eggplant "fries" with basil infused "ketchup" that is essentially tangy marinara. Almost like eggplant Parmesan, but served as finger food (there's Parm in the breading).
Quite a bit of work, but it was really good.
