Yesterday, I dropped into Cheeburger Cheeburger, a fantastic joint which offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With their make-your-own burgers and shakes on the menu, the food options seem almost endless. I loved that feeling of having endless possibilities right in front of me.
The concept has an interesting history. Established in the sunny state of Florida on Sanibel Island by Bruce Zicari in 1986, the restaurant's unique name is inspired by a Saturday Night Live sketch where John Belushi uttered cheeseburger as “cheeburger”. And thus, Cheeburger Cheeburger was born.

Do they offer gluten-free food?
Yes, they do! Although catering to a dedicated request might not guarantee a 100% gluten-free meal due to the nature of the kitchen, it's still heartening to see their commitment to cater to diverse dietary requirements.
A rendezvous for kids
Cheeburger Cheeburger's kid's menu was a delight. It made me wish I was a kid again, just to enjoy the smaller version of the company's signature cheeseburger and finish off the meal with a Kid Size Sundae. Their children menu is served with a choice of baby carrots, apple sauce, or fries along with a soft drink.
Spice quotient
My experience wasn't very spicy, but they do have a couple of sauces with a mild kick. If you're like me who likes to experiment, dip your fries and taste their Zesty Horseradish Sauce or the Creamy Jalapeño Sauce.
